This is the greatest weakness in the parallel. But using this fact to support your argument indirectly asserts that if the situation is left as is for a sufficient amount of time, the Isrealis should rightfully be granted unconditional victory, irregardless of who is "right" or "wrong.".

Thats true, which is maybe why the Arabs are so desperate, they may feel that if they do not get the land back this generation then they never will.

Dave...I'll get back to you. Work doesn't leave much time for research and it's fairly clear that you have more knowledge of the issue. But of course that doesn't mean that you're right.

Damn. The erosion of the English language is something I detest, and I find it shameful when I make such an obvious blunder.

....though I can save some face by pointing out that the word does appear in the dictionary.

It's a common enough error; my boss must use it fifteen times a day, and that is why I notice it so quickly. I have been trained to laugh and mock its usage. :P

FNF - I too do not have a lot of time to do this at work. When I get home, however, I'll pull out the books, and we shall dance.

But it's still a great example of a one-word double-negative.

With dagney's permission (as the thread starter) I'd like to move this into current events and re-title the thread.

11-20-2003, 01:51 PM

Could we then move the debate-a-riffic posts between FNF and I (with ring-side commentary by sycamore) into a new thread?

wolf · 11-20-2003, 01:54 PM

The actual debate should have it's own showcase. This thread, though is a good place for negotiating the matchups ... you know, like Don King dealing with whomever, hammering out the nitty gritty stuff like who gets to step up on the scale first, and the banning of certain flavors of Skittles.

Dagney · 11-20-2003, 01:56 PM

Go right ahead Toad...

I'd even be willing to host a User's Forum for debates - and put up a new topic every week or two.

doesn't EVERY thread turn in to a debate at some point anyway?

I disagree. And I will provide scattered bits of nebulous, ponderous insight to support my position.

Smartass.

We don't need a debate forum, because the Cellar itself is mostly a debate forum. If someone posts something that someone else disagrees with, debates are likely to start.

Any thread over two pages probably contains a debate. They happen everywhere.

However, if you could organize the debates to avoid the "oh, that's 3 pages old by the time I noticed it so I'll just ignore it" problem, that I might support.

Now that Dave's gone, I think the ultimate battle would be quzah vs. FNF...now we just need to determine what the two disagree on.
