kallend 1,683 #26 February 20, 2007 Nitpicking over the meaning of "few" just shows that you do not have a valid argument and, as usual, just want a fight.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCclimber 0 #27 February 20, 2007 QuoteYou're REALLY scraping bottom trying to pick a fight. You must not have thought of any fake quotes to manufacture today, huh? Hey Narc, No defense of Quote"the job title was "Secretary of War". It was only changed to "Secretary of Defense" Oh. That's right. You were wrong. Or did you think the Secretary of the Navy (pre-1947) was irrelevant? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I officially name you Most Likely to Spontaneously Pick a Fight Completely Irrelevant to the Topic of the Thread Maybe you should take a break so you can go manufacture some more falsified quotes why don't you? Edited to add out of kindness: Psssst! Hey, climber, since you only list one jump, you might not know that "S.O.S." is a group of skydivers over 70 years old. That means Kallend was at least 10 in 1947. First Class Citizen Twice Over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When the rebuttals come down to the precise meaning of "few" and nitpicking 5 vs. 6 decades and whether or not Kallend is over 64 years old or not, I think the Angry Righteous Right has officially lost their mind.

kelpdiver 2 #34 February 20, 2007 maybe. But when you think SOS means skydivers over 70, maybe it means you should stay out of this particular silly fight. You're running out of limbs to stick in your mouth. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, and it was obviously a very important point since 5 could count as a few but 6 is way more than that!

narcimund 0 #38 February 20, 2007 Quoterather than admit they were wrong. I admit I made inconsequential errors. I admit I used "few" to mean 6. I also admit I sometimes round my freefall time upwards even if it ends in a 4. I admit I didn't wash my hands after using the urinal once. Do you admit you lie by falsifying complete quotes out of thin air? QuotePelosi - "I want my jet!" Do you also admit that when you hate where a thread's going but you know deep in your heart that it's right, that you try to distract everyone by waving your hands in the air and sputtering gibberish?

Sorry you are having such difficulty with that bit of bait. QuoteDo you also admit that when you hate where a thread's going but you know deep in your heart that it's right, that you try to distract everyone by waving your hands in the air and sputtering gibberish? What is the direction of this thread? That McCain is doing an about face on Rumsfeld and that the people who like his new sentiment now think he's a real standup guy and that there is nothing questionable about his two-faced behavior? What's the relevance? Oh yeah, if you wouldn't make misleading and incorrect posts, these kinds of digressions could be reduced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
