Exotar 0 Exotar's understanding of the purpose of words -100 Exotar's understanding of what Hootie was saying -10000 Again.. you can argue his point but I (and everyone else here) knew what he meant when he used the word "entitled." AND it wasn't we all said ... "oh he said xxx but we know he meant yyy." No, he meant to say exactly what the word means in common usage in this context... therefore it was NOT the incorrect word. His use of the word conveyed exactly how he feels on the issue, therefore you need to argue his points not his word choice. |

I'm a liberal because I don't care what happens around me as long as I get to do the things that make me happy?
If that's being a liberal then cool, I guess I'm a liberal. |
oh oh oh... I'll make this SUPER fair..
Let's ask KCNATIVE to judge! |

This entire thread before that comment of his, in reference to his love for mexicans, stemmed from the fact that they don't have to charge you for running a business, in direct reply to my response mentioning that you pay the prices you pay, because I have bills to pay such as insurance, because I am liable. His argument is very clearly in statement that mexicans are cheap because they charge you for the work done, do it fast, and do it cheap. This coming after my explanation that they can do this because the don't offer a warranty on their work or carry insurance for liabilities, a comment he later made if I am not mistaken, that he doesn't care about warranty work or insurance coverage for his "****ing mirror". So no, you're wrong, very wrong, and he misused the word entirely, because he struggled to find the correct one to use in its place, because if he did use the correct word, it would actually have a negative connotation attached to it, for his mexicans, that it. |

The argument is that he misused the words to convey his point, not his feelings. He might FEEL that americans are entitled, thus his love for mexicans, but up until that statement, he was conveying the reasoning for their cheapness, and why he likes them, which stemmed from their lack of liability or responsibility. Go back and read it if you actually think you have me beat here. Quote:

We are both intelligence, why don't we judge for ourselves. From the start of this argument, did he not remark that Mexicans are cheaper? Did he not admit that they were cheaper because they don't have warranties or carry insurance? Simple Yes or No will work here. Quote:

GET OUT OF HERE WITH THAT BULLSHIT. He is DEFINITELY NOT LIBERTARIAN, and I question your grasp of politics now. Also, calling him anarchist? Are you serious? He's definitely more accurately liberal than anything else, and he has his agenda, xbox and lube. |

I'm just a perpetual content. I'm single, I make enough money (not a lot, but enough) to do whatever I want, drink wherever I want, hit on any girls that I want (often unsuccessfully), buy whatever xbox game I want, pay all of my bills on time, sleep whenever I want, jerk it whenever I'm off work, etc... I have literally no political beliefs. I don't make enough money where the tax bracket I'm in pisses me off...hippies make me laugh so I'd hate it if they disappeared...I literally just don't give a shit. As long as America is still cool, we don't get nuked or taken over by China, I can still log onto xbox live and swear at 12 year olds, and I can chat with hot babes on a high speed internet connection I'm happy. now if I ever make real money and have real life decisions maybe politics will someday interest me more than they do today... but as of now I like Chiefs football, random promiscuous sex, Halo 3, wonderdogs and Jersey Mike's subs...that's it. And jerking off. |

Read his post about workers in the restaurant industry... it is CLEAR he knows the word and used it to convey the meaning he wanted. You can argue til your blue in the face that he is wrong... but you will continue to play the fool if you argue that he used the wrong word. If I say the sky is black and it is daytime and it is blue... I may be wrong but I didn't misuse the word black.. I didn't pick the wrong word I was just wrong. You claimed he misused (or didn't understand) the word... that clearly isn't the case. You SHOULD have argued that American workers are not (falsely) entitled vis a vis "Mexican" workers. Instead you attacked his word choice... and in a "real" debate you'd get your ass handed to you for doing so. |
