@hawkeye10,
I said I didn't expect you to understand what I was saying in my last post...

You Firefly use words to convey a meaning that you know is false...
Are you completely crazy? That is so off-the-wall it's really nuts.
Why would I use words to convey a meaning I know is false? In case you haven't noticed, I choose my words very carefully because I want to communicate exactly what I mean. I want what I'm saying to be clearly understood. And a lifetime of positive feedback on my ability to express myself has let me know I'm an excellent communicator, particularly through the medium of the written word.
Don't blame your inability to understand my posts on my alleged duplicitous use of words. Or attribute your tendency to distort what I say to my being deliberately deceptive. You either have some serious comprehension problems, or you deliberately twist what others say to suit your own ends, and, frankly, I think both of those things are true.
Quote:as we saw with "rape" you will use the word all day long but never define it so that you use the word as if it had the common definition but when this gets you in trouble you say that you never said such because you never defined it
Now that's a deliberate untruth on your part. Or is it another distortion? Or is it both?
When we discussed rape, the crime of crime, I clearly said I was using the term as defined by state law--and I generally preferred to quote the exact state definition verbatim. Generally, I described it as sexual intercourse without consent, because that general deception encompasses most state laws on rape. That is the common legal definition of rape. I quite clearly did define my use of the term "rape" because I wanted it to be understood how I was using the term. My use of the word in that way never got me into "trouble" because it was clear what I meant when I referred to "rape".
You, on the other hand, in our discussion of the crime of rape, refused to abide by any common definition of rape as described in state law--even the laws of the state you live in. You referred to "real rape" "not real rape" "grey rape" and all sorts of things that have nothing to do with how the state defines the crime of rape. You seem to have the quaint idea you can bitch endlessly about the "rape laws" without knowing exactly what is contained in those laws, how they are worded, and how they define "rape".
Even in this thread, I posted a copy of the criminal complaint against DSK, along with the exact definitions, from NYS penal law, of every crime he was charged with. You, of course, ignored all that and instead speculated and fantasized about the actions he might have engaged in, used your own made-up definitions of the sexual offenses he was charged with, and naturally concluded the charges didn't fit.
Why you keep saying I've never defined "rape" I do not know. Do you have serious memory problems? Is defining it as "sexual intercourse without consent" too difficult for you to to grasp? Do you like to just bring up the word "rape" and enjoy using it as often as possible?
Look, Haweye, you distort, misinterpret, and mis-characterize the things I say. Sometimes you twist things deliberately and maliciously, at other times you have rather glaring and significant comprehension problems,
I'm not going to dumb down so you can understand me. Nor am I going to try to correct all of the various fantasies, myths, inaccuracies, and lies, you spin about me, because you apparently need these straw-men, and that "fictional firefly", to bolster what laughingly passes for "debate" in your mind. You just don't seem capable of holding your own in a discussion of ideas on an adult level. You childishly need to take personal shots, even if you have to fabricate things about me in order to take those shots. That's junior high school level crap, Hawkeye. If you can't muster more adult and thoughtful responses, or manage to understand what I'm saying, without distorting it, just ignore my posts, because otherwise I'm going to ignore yours.
