OT: Cathy - remedial reading help needed for Shmuckland

Of course, that depends on which machine I'm using. *YOUR* usual bullshit is getting my finger closer to the PLONK button on this one, too. Never mind splitting hairs. Like you do every time you're painted into a corner.

1. a positive statement or declaration, often without support or reason: a mere assertion; an unwarranted assertion.

Suits you to a "T".

often without support or reason

Joe is behaving himself today. Give him another chance.

Oh please don't plonk me, even though it would make you feel powerful.

So, it did NOT say as assertion could be a question. Neither did my dictionary.

But never a question.

So, both of you are disputing the findings of OUR MILITARY. That's interesting.

Let it go, Joe.

But it was fun watching you three slugs rolling around in a dish of salt, totally ignorant of a simple question mark?

You must have forgotten the whipping you got yesterday. That salt you are "implying" of was actually rubbed into your wounds by Cathy.

The only judgement possible on this issue comes from dictionaries. There is only one definition of assertion. Absent a dictionary (your household), you would not be aware of this.

If Saddam had been connected in any way with OBL, your theories would hold water. But as everyone knows, Saddam had nothing to do with OBL and probably never would have.

What backpedal? I keep pushing forward with this discussion and you keep hiding from it.

The only statement I made was that there was a question. If you could read, you would realize this. I suggest that if it's still possible, you visit your parents and slap them around a bit for letting you turn out this way.

Only in the eyes of some who desperately needs to be right when he is, in fact, wrong.

Not plonking: Because this is your life, along with a house piled high with old mother boards which make you feel happy when you look at them.
