I think that might be true. 
Websters hasn't made it there either apparently.
Webster's with an apostrophe, if you want to play semantics.
That would be syntax, not sematics.

If you think the ACLU only helps minorities, you're a fucking idiot and have no understanding of the breadth of cases they take.
Ya see, I take offense to the "you're a fucking idiot" part of that, seeing as in my previous post, I admitted ignorance of the association as a larger entity. Like I said, there isn't much in the way of ACLU action around here, and what we do hear about tends to be along the lines of defending the rights of illegal immigrants and the like. Instead of looking for an argument, maybe you should understand that the whole world doesn't live in California where they are apparently very active for everyone and think about how they come across in the rest of the country. Think about it, would someone from Montana know about the ACLU like you do? Would your average person from New Hampshire know about it? How about North Dakota? The fact is that news isn't reported equally everywhere.
I lived in Utah when they came to my aid.
You insulted an organization which you now admit to knowing next to nothing about, simply because the local news doesn't report their activities as heavily. Forming strong opinions about subjects upon which you are essentially ignorant is a pretty strong characteristic of "fucking idiocy."
Hypocracy drips from your statement.
I might be insulted if I had any idea what "hypocracy" meant.
Oh my, a spelling mistake. End of the fucking world.
Hypocrisy* drips from your statement.
Make sense now?
Anyway, spelling errors aside, it wasn't meant to be insulting at all, I was just pointing out the hypocrisy in your argument of me knowing little about something and jumping to conclusions while you do the same about my personal character. 
Someone once said something similar to this to me:

No, actually, mouthing off on something you don't know about as if you do is pretty much the definition of "fucking idiocy." I don't know about your character, but your logic board is une petit peau totally wonky.

You inferred that I was insulting you. If you read what I wrote, I never directly insulted you. You may behave on here like a fucking idiot, but that doesn't necessitate that you are one. Although, you're hard pressed to prove otherwise at this point.
And I pointed out, rather facetiously, your spelling error because it was directly followed by you pointing out someone else's minor failure to include an apostrophe. You can't be a dick about writing mistakes and expect people not to level that same treatment back at you.
Additionally, making judgements on someone's personal character directly from observation of their behavior strikes me as the most effective way of judging someone's character. Should I just take you're word for it that you're well informed and cautious, or should I surmise from your behavior that your somewhat the opposite of that?

Actually, I think that would be playing grammar, not semantics.
Also, "hypocrisy" is with an "i," if you want to play spelling, too.
I'm just sayin' is all. If not, that's cool.
EDIT: Okay, fine. Everyone got to this before me. *sigh*

To surmise, the ACLU is awesome.
You meant to do that, right?
JUN 23, 2007 07:46 PM
holy shit ! 
I just threw in the dis about websters not makin it to NH as well as the internet because he had mispelled hypocrisy. It was a barbed joke. Why even respond to that ? I wasn't really even involved in your conversation.
Pointing to my lack of apostrophy as a comeback is just kinda lame. I could have easily typoed it or just been lax. It's a world of difference from using hooked on phonics.
. . . but then bothering to even acknowledge an assault on your spelling with a not so snappy comeback is kinda lame too.

To conjecture, to guess, to infer without adequate information or data?
Perhaps.

Well now, this turned into a regular free for all now did'nt it. 
First off one can surmise a great deal of vanity and self worth from a name like "snowgod". Second you are only 19 (not to piss off all the 19 year old people here) and going to school, so I would humbly ask that you take a govt. class, learn a liittle about the machinations of this over bloated govt. of ours and then throw your 2 cents about a govt. entity. You seem like a fairly intelligent cat, and a quick learner so I'm sure you can do just fine, however a great many of your comments in this discussion have made you look like a right wing asshole.
