    There are so many things wrong with your post, Kid, that I'm just going to give up on you. Dan has the right idea.
    If you think you are a criminal you should cry.

      So now the "definition" is not really the "definition"?



      However, Kidicious really knows the "definition"!

      The rest of the world is "wrong"

      Well you can call them whatever you want but you are wrong and you do so for political effect only

      Wow! Now that makes me as smart as Kid! Ummm...wait...I actually am backed up by the facts. Damn...now I guess I am not as smart as Kid. I have to rely on facts, while he is capable of inventing his own. Damn.

        If we use the definition that you propose than we are all criminals and none of us should be counted for representation. Since that is completely absurd your definition must be wrong.

        Why would you classify someone as a criminal for simply commiting a crime if everyone has commited a crime at some point. There is no reason for such classification.

        Do you know anything about meaning in context?

          I never said they should not be counted. In fact, I pointed out that the census is obligated to count them. Further, it is not "my" definition, but "the" definition as stated in a universally accepted book called a "dictionary". Perhaps you should explore this new and innovative source.

          While true, it is a meaningless argument. The parties in question are in the act of commiting a crime. I, on the other hand, am a former criminal as I have not speed since I drove home yesterday.

          Indeed....do you know anything about the word "meaning"?

            Plato: That means you!
            I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                You are violating YOUR OWN definition. According to your definition a criminal is someone who commits a crime. The dictionary says nothing about time frame.

                You have no idea what I'm talking about do you? Words have meaning according to the context in which they were used, except of course in the dicitonary.

                    I am still classifying both as criminals, which clearly fits the accurate definition of "criminal" Once again...it is not "my" definition, but "the" definition. No matter how many times you try to spin it, that doesn't change.

                    I believe I do know what I am talking about. It is also my belief that you are the misguided one here. However, I will try to lend you a hand...

                    I think you are saying that because they are not "bad" criminals that we should not call the "criminals" We should only call "bad" criminals "criminals".

                    I respectfully, disagree and will once again refer you to the actual definition of "criminal".

                    Now, what we should do about the illegal aliens that are breaking our laws by being here is a different debate, but to say that they are not criminals is to wontonly disregard the meaning of the word for simple political posturing.

                      This is hilarious given your previous rant on "contextual meaning"!!!!

                          Ok then we are back to the fact that you are defining everyone as a criminal. Again I will ask you, wtf for? Want to try a different answer?
                          Once again...it is not "my" definition, but "the" definition. No matter how many times you try to spin it, that doesn't change.
                          You still aren't getting it. Meaning comes from context. "The" definition is determined by the context, not the dictionary. Those who write the dictionary try to determine the meaning from how it is used in context. Sometimes the don't do a perfect job. "The" definition is not necessarily the definition in the dicitonary.

                          There is no reason to call them criminals whatsoever. "Criminal" carries the connotation of bad. A "bad" criminal is "very bad." When someone violates a minor civil statute we don't normally refer to them as criminals. I can't believe you don't know this.

                            I really can't say that you have added anything new in that last post. It seems that we have gotten caught in a loop. However, I stand by all my previous statements and refer them to you yet again as I I am quickly tiring of reposting and rereading the same arguments. However, for the record, I will once again note that your argument is based on your interpretation while mine is based on a clearly accepted source.

                              No, it's not appropriate that they are included for purposes of apportionment, but it's the only way to get an accurate enumeration of the people in a particular area.

                                Er, no. You got caught up in a loop and you can't get out of it, because you are wrong and can't or won't admit it.
