Seems like a lot of stuff devolves into this anyway, so why not cut out the OP and just go at it?
Argue a meaningless distinction with selective reasoning extrapolated to a universe which consists solely of zeros and one. Tons of stuff to quibble over, maybe metric tonnes. Thin blue regional pop chilli bean biscuit drug immigration slacker differences. Lets contain the mindless pointless detritus to this thread and have civil discourse in the others. Perhaps someone can open a fast food for trolls drive thru, complete with links to the onion as a definitive source of truth. Eject, bail, add commas, use the wrong word even though it sounds the same as the one used in English. Do what evil you will, just be succinct and eschew obsification to the point of breviloquent clarity. Have fun, be angry to the point of having a stroke, make threats, get your feelings hurt by strangers, argue pointless points. But above all else, get both!

Justice Samuel Alito saw the conflict right away.
"General Verrilli, today you are arguing that the penalty is not a tax," Alito said. "Tomorrow you are going to be back, and you will be arguing that the penalty is a tax. Has the court ever held that something that is a tax for the purposes of the taxing power under the Constitution is not a tax under the Anti-Injunction Act?" "No," answered Verrilli. The average citizen does not appreciate nor desire this sort of doublespeak. It is not clever, it is rude and a mockery of good legislative process. |

Does correct spelling matter?
One school of thought walks the narrow line that requires every word to be spelled correctly for the context in which it is used. Probably passed down from some strict German school marm, or similar. Another school of thought believes that slavish adherence to absolutely perfect spelling is a sign of poor breeding and flawed character. |

Quoted: Argue a meaningless distinction with selective reasoning extrapolated to a universe which consists solely of zeros and one. Your hypothetical universe is all fucked up if it's got many zeros and only one "one". Based on this, the rest of your argument, whatever it was, is invalid. You're clearly easier to dupe than the guy who sources his facts from the owner of a Canadian Subway franchise.

Quoted:
Texas people should be banned from GD, and given their own special forum. In that forum they can thump their chests and grunt about how great they think they have it living in Texas, no beans, yadda yadda yadda Sticks and stones may break my bones by a 22lr in the butt really stings |

It's carbonated and comes in a can or bottle. What else would you call it? |

Quoted: The AR15 belongs in the trashcan. Right next to the AK. The only worthy rifle in this world is the XM8, and you people are too stupid and not tier 1 enough to realize it. AR15.com should be XM8.com; then maybe it would be a half decent website.   8-year-old girls everywhere agree with your assessment:  |
