While We Wait: Part 6

[alex994]

In the rest of the world it would be the 11th of September. Not September 11th... hence why everywhere else by America does dates as 11/9/01, not 9/11/01.

You're incorrect about the "rest of the world." Mandarin and Cantonese has the month coming prior to the date.

Instant victory, both America and China, you silly Aussies must respect.

He isn't an idiot, no more than Obama is. You just dislike him for his ideology, the same way I hate Obama. No one with the facts would say Bush is an idiot, because he clearly has what it takes to be the leader of America.

Sadly, the act of leading is much like a vector--it has both a magnitude and a direction. Possessing the ability to lead is the magnitude... but it says nothing about where you're going. So, I would agree with you that Bush has certainly lead us somewhere...

Wow, +seven pages since my last visit. You crazy dudes are adding them faster than my modem can load them

@Luckymoose, you need to get in tune with your Higher Self, so you will remember things about your past lives in different cultures and countries. Then you won't be so biased and narrow minded

Have you seen Bill O'Reilly? His arsenal of arguments consists mainly of slippery slope, ad hominem, loaded questions, and cutting people off.

Sorry as I was talking about the English language, I was referring to the Engish speaking world.... But cool I will have to remember that and it may be a reason as to why America does things differently, although I do not understand it still as when they would of been deciding it the American President would of looked down his nose at the Chinese.

Well, Spanish has the date coming before the month so go figure

Though it also has year coming before all of those, so it's closer to the European system: both have it ordered largest to smallest or vice versa.

Good depiction, he never allows the other person to get their viewpoint across clearly enough so he always has a margin of error to tear shreads off them sometimes most unwarranted.

@Symph.... Bush lead you guys somewhere alright, he lead you backwards.

 

[jeps]

Let's get rid of all vowels while we're on it. Too many letters wasted.

hebrew did that more than 2000 years ago.

But I believed sheep was specifically referring to whether the month or date came before the month/date (whichever wasn't used) without mentioning the years.

 

[Dachs]

America was isolationist until 1941. It really didnt start dominating in the world until about 1945 when you let the nuclear bomb go to your heads (or at least the Presidents did)

Lets see 2008 - 1945 thats not that long. British Empire 250 years... Talk to us when you have dominated that long.

And clearly, modern Greece should use the spelling and grammar of the ancients, because they were awesome for longer than modern Greece has been.

Accept your failure and move ahead with the rest of the universe. It's okay, we'll hold your hand.

Oh and watch out for China and a resurgent Russia under Prime Minister Putin.

I assume you mean the same China that is polluting itself into a replica of Mordor and the same Putin who rules over a Russia that is one of the few nations to actually decline in population?

Yes and now it sounds like you are choking while speaking it, but then again I am sure its a beautiful language.

No I did mention dd/mm/yyyy vs mm/dd/yyyy in an earlier post so I was meaning the whole kit and kaboddle.

Wow, your comprehension of sarcasm and irony is truly amazing. Have you ever read A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift? So many people just don't ever get it, but I'm sure you'll be able to on the first try!

Yes, I love his show.

I always wanted to be metaled somewhere, especially an economic and technological boom.

HAHAHA, even heard the saying 'if he knew half as much as what he think he does he would know twice as much as what he does'... Think about it.

I fail to see what something we do when WRITING a language has ANY affect whatsoever on how it sounds. enlighten me?

I dont know either, all I said is that is sounds like you a choking when speaking it

It becomes increasingly obvious that Luckymoose is communicating to us from some alternate reality. Much like Steven Colbert, I blame CERN as the cause.

Meanwhile, some of our contributors have yet to understand the concept of an effective comeback.

Tune in next time for a discussion on how you can win accolades for mediocrity, because most people aren't smart enough to figure it out until it's far too late!
