ASCI Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 In other words, you feel perfectly free to define any word you use however you want to define it at the moment. Gee...I wonder why you can't communicate with anyone... 615296[/snapback] This is the last thing I am going to say to you because the next thing out of you is going to be some wiseass comment: As you know the only true language is mathematics. Knowing this how can you respect the English language. Let me save you a response: well you’re not good at either one of them.
X. Benedict Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 What, I’m not bending any literal meaning of the word proactive. I am taking one of many definitions used to make my point. It is you that holds the English language to some universal constant or truth an unrealistic standard of perfection for which it was never intended to be. The English language is and has always been a subjective, disjointed, hodge podge of words from all over the world mixed together by circumstance whose true meaning can only be understood when put in it’s historical context and whose usage rules were established after the fact by pinheads like you. So, cling to your precious language god and choke on it. F-off 615266[/snapback] Funny. You are the one defining words out of existence, and I have an unrealistic standard of English usage? I was the one contending that proactive means something? I am not the one ignoring context - we were talking about foreign policy, weren't we? Does having a proactive foreign policy mean something in the context of a foreign policy? You are the one saying it doesn't, aren't you? As far as your use of the English language - I agree that it can be (and your use of it) is subjective, disjointed, and hodge podged. I would call yours a personal language as an extension of relative egoism - you are welcome to it, but you were trying to communicate your best ideas, weren't you? Your language precluded standard usage. You're cute. Good luck with mid-terms.
RuntheDamnBall Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 And oh-by-the-way...did you really just say that the only truly proactive action would be an instinctive reaction? 614845[/snapback] Dude should change his name to Newspeak.

As I said from the beginning I believe a truly proactive approach to foreign policy would be to install puppet governments in every country we may be concerned with. Not a realistic approach but a truly proactive one none the less. And now for your childish insults………this is really getting old.
ASCI Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Dude should change his name to Newspeak. 615326[/snapback] I don’t know why everyone tries to be funny on this web site. Is it because you think people will like you more? We are a very insecure race.

Of course, we already know you do. We've seen your geometry skills.
ASCI Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Another thing, Tom is the prototypical message board sniper. I have yet to see him post a new topic. He rarely constructively adds to a discussion and his one-liners are rarely funny. He routinely ridicules others for their ideas yet never advances a concept on his own therefore purposely hiding and protecting his ideas from the possibility of ridicule and being shown wrong. So, I guess what I’m saying is that Tom is a spineless worm.

For me to do that would be proactive, and we all know now that the concept of "proactive" is just a fiction.

ASCI Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 brainwashed 615867[/snapback] Don’t take this the wrong way but I am curious, in what decade did you graduate high school? 60’s, 70’s 80’s 90’s or 2000’s

ASCI Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 I graduated high school. Can I play? No? Nobody likes me. I'll sue. 616852[/snapback] I would guess you graduated pre-1990, right?

ASCI Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Good question, Run the Damn Ball, sounds like a Jim Ringo era graduate. 616928[/snapback] How about you X?

X. Benedict Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 How about you X? 616937[/snapback] High School? late 80's. When Metallica had their good stuff.
ASCI Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 I'd answer, but Mom and Dad have called me to dinner. 616941[/snapback] about 1995 or 6 right?
