Gravitymaster 0 #81 April 21, 2004 QuoteQuoteI gave up. I think English isn't his first language. Only explaination I can figure. will that mean that people that has english as their first language are dumb??? i cant find other explanation stop useing language like that,im one of thouse you considder as not good at english,each time you give a statement as the one you just gave,your attacing me and others here,i dont want to listen to crap like that.... PhillyKev Now see here is an example where I could get Faber chasing his tail about whether people whose first language isn't english are somehow deficient in their intellectual capabilities but I've gotten so bored with watching Skydekker chase his tail that I'm not up for it right now. I can't believe you take much on this site seriously. That could leave you vulnerable for similar amusement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkyDekker 1,147 #83 April 21, 2004 Quotecant spell in your mother language what you do aint respect The funniest part of this is, that gravitymaster made a spelling mistake in that original statement. So even though english is his first language he makes mistakes and has a hard time reading a dictionary. At least I have an excuse Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now, now Christelsabine. You are approaching very shaky ground here. Before you go any farther, you need to go back and carefully read and understand what is being said, what you think and what assumptions you are making about what is being said without fully comprehending what was said and what somebody said wqas being said and how different interpetations of whats being said may not be what you think.is being said. Sometimes assumptions without fact can be very embarrassing. To get you pointed in the right direction, I would suggest you go back and make sure what you think is being said is actually what was said and how much of it was incorrectly assumed and then taken as fact. To do otherwise would only serve to validate your incorrect assuptions and in fact prove what you incorrectly assume to be true.

Since assassination is a subset of murder (that Webster thing), it is, in fact, a form of murder, and an assassination can be termed as a murder. It may not be the most exact description, but saying "he died" is also accurate. Death is involved. To the family member of an assassinated person, it looks the same. Using one term or another is done to get a particular emotional response (or lack thereof). Kind of like spin. Can a car be described as a vehicle? Even if it's a Cobra?
