New Trouble for South China Sea?

If I ever decide to go back to school, I'll be sure to try that for my next research paper... just copying the dictionary definition. It will definitely save on printer ink.

Should work...if your term paper is about the actual definition.

Now if you were to write one about the degrees of war, or limited war versus total war, then you might be on to something.

From what you have written above, you seem to be limiting your definition of war to the concept of "total war". War is a term that is more encompassing than that if taken as defined.

Your use of "skirmishes" would fit the concept of limited war, but once again would be war as defined.

So...it is quite alright for you to be wrong occasionally and I am sure snoopy369 will understand your confusion.

I know, right? I bet it is a real page turner!

I think he wrote it as a plot for the video game.

As I said, the application of the term in both instances is correct. It's a matter of semantics.

Sorry if there's not room for a nuanced opinion in your black and white world.

Black and white thinking is a symptom of a variety of mental illnesses. Maybe you should worry less about me and go have that checked out.

There's nuanced, and there is Alice in Wonderland.

Amazon conveniently made that a hyper link.

Thanks MM.

[The Mad Monk]

I love Apolyton hyperlinks.

[The Mad Monk]

No hyperlinks.

edit: four hyperlinks!

I don't mind wearing "crazy" as a badge of honor... when I've said something actually crazy. So if you want to point out where I put on a dress and started to eat my own ****, by all means. Until then, be more clever with your insults.

[The Mad Monk]

Please be more clever with your understanding.

[Sava]

Again. You'll need to cite a specific example.

[DaShi]

Please be more clever with your understanding.

Why ask him more than you provide in any of your trite posts?

YOU OLD BASTARD

There are advantages to being old you young pup.

[Wezil]

Alright, I've forgotten the smiley (age disadvantage).


Advantage - Money.

I read SSN. Actually I read the first 20 pages of SSN. Then I stopped because it ****ing sucks.
