Oh **** you Kansas`

I don't have anyone on mine.

Neither do I.


People will say we're an item.

In reality, the old Warsaw Pact countries simply doubled women's work without truly liberating them- in Rumania abortions were illegal too. I find the notion of Khruschev and Brezhnev as feminists hugely entertaining.

What kind of feminist doesn't believe in women working?

Well done on completely misunderstanding what I've written.

You don't think they should have had to work?

Imitation is the flattest form of insincerity.

If you're flattered you're doubly stupid. We they communists or not?

English was not a dialect. There are dialects of English and even different varieties of English in the British Isles- the Scottish 'Lallans' or Lowlands English being one of them

The wealth of immigrants from around the world is also altering English in London and other cities, with influences from the Indian sub-continent and Jamaican Patwa, for instance.

As for being inbred- isn't your ancestry from somewhere like Serbia ? Lots of mountains, cut off in wintertime, no access to the sea... hint, hint.

He was feeding it. You now have to be intelligent enough to take the food he's given and use it to troll harder. That's the proper chain of events here.

Take away his ability to speak freely on this forum? You mean shut him up against his will? Then all can agree with each other and peace will return. What could go wrong?

There's no "shutting him up against his will." Just everyone collectively giving him the cold shoulder, so it doesn't matter whether he stays or goes. The OT was a nicer, saner place for the six months he was banned. I'd love to go back to that.

Re: What's the Matter with Kansas?, I haven't read it, but I have run into the standard conservative retort: when wealthy liberals choose their values over their economic self-interest, it's considered admirable. When poor conservatives choose their values over their economic self-interest, they clearly must be idiotic dupes being led by the nose. They couldn't possibly decide for themselves what's most important to them, after all.

So they say. Maybe the book anticipates and addresses this point though, IDK.

This blog/article makes the argument that Kansas's new bill, if passed and signed, will become the next-generation Jim Crow example of state-sanctioned bigotry.

Anyway, I finally followed Guy's advice, and have put Benny on Ignore.

Don't quote me on this, but I recall reading about the growth of the English language. Something like more than half of the words in the English language only entered the vocabulary in the last 100 years. The sheer size of the language is the equivalent of 4-5 other languages.

Most of the new words are due to technological advancement.

Sava, you often show glimses of intelligence, though, haven't figured out if it's when you are smoking fun tobacco or not. Using that, you'll easily be able to explain why that is pure BS.

Edit: Sorry about qouting you despite your begging for not being quoted
