  • [QUOTE] Originally posted by Elok


    So, in the phrase, "you make me happy," is "happy" the direct object, and "me" the indirect object? If not, why?
    [quote]

    "happy" is the object complement to the object "me".

    • An object is always a noun or pronoun. "Happy" is neither.

                Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

                • My "X-post" post was an X-post. I cross posted with Loinburger then Elok cross posted with me when I posted "X-post".

                  • I'll be updating the vote count tonight, I'm busy right now.

                    Keep up with the nominations.

                    And Skywalker, I don't recall seeing you in a SERIOUS debate with me and Imran. Maybe a little thread history is needed for you?

                      While I like Wraith's pithy responses, he just doesn't debate people here any more and David does and I haven't seen him lose a debate and I count myself among the vanquished.


                      If you mean Wraith hasn't lost a debate, I'd be inclined to agree with you (in that you haven't seen it- I beg to differ ) but afa DF goes, I don't recall ever seeing him 'win' one.

                      loin, I, and a couple of others had a long running debate against Creationism. Those were the days.


                      And I'm just as glad those days are gone. Not that it's not fun to shoot fish in a barrel from time to time, but it gets kinda old.

                        I've mostly watched your debates with Imran. I felt no need to enter.

                          I would say just the opposite.

                          Asher is an expert in the technical area.

                          Your knowledge in the subject is poor.

                          You just like to hear yourself talk alot.

                            • As far as a right-winger can be a good debater


                              Well if you think right-wingers can't be good debaters, then we must be doing something correctly .

                              "Might makes right" would be sufficient reason for me to vote against Imran.


                              This isn't the who agrees with you awards .

                              Immy woulda made it; alas he's a lawyer and I've been getting in too many fistfights with their kind lately. F*ing Crown prosecutors and their $149 "suits"

                              Agathon gets DESTROYED by Asher in every technical debate


                              Yep... they destroy the other in their relative area of expertise.
