In response to your question, Tzoran, we have fun here, but we're a serious site that tries to help people.  We teach and learn here.  Anything else is a distraction that means less learning and less assistance to others.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 00:04, 18 February 2010 (EST)

::I actually code in [[Python]], [[Java]], [[C plus plus|C++]], and [[Fortran]] as well, but I haven't had the time to create userboxes for "This user is a <language> coder" yet, so I'm stuck with C (which I mostly only use for coding additional Python modules. If I need machine-level functionality for toolchains and the like, I prefer the power of C++). I do prefer [[Python]] to [[Java]] but I'll try to resist any Parthian shots of "Python is better!"

Great blocks.  Note that, in order to permit account recreation under a different name from the same IP, '''both''' options in the block function must be unchecked.  In your two blocks this morning, your settings were probably appropriate anyway in light of the inappropriate names used.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 11:28, 29 June 2010 (EDT)

Tyler, the block of RonLar seems overzealous to me, unless I'm missing something.  We allow criticism on talk pages and I plan to respond to him.  We welcome liberals as long as they do not violate basic common-sense rules as outlined in [[Conservapedia Commandments]].  Thanks.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 10:17, 25 July 2010 (EDT)

:::You worried me there for a second! I watch the recent changes page in another tab, to check for vandalism, so all I saw at first was "Stop !!!" in the edit summary.

==False arguments based on slippery wording==
+
 
+
We need to distinguish between real [[torture]] and "things prohibited by anti-torture laws". This is like the distinction between real [[air pollution]] and things like "emitting gases which liberals say will cause enhanced global warming".
+
 
+
The destruction of distinctions is one of the tactics of liberals and totalitarians, as noted in George Orwell's ''[[1984]]'' - with the aim to reduce all human speech to nothing more significant than animal noises (see [[duckspeak]]).
+
 
+
We can also see it in the drive for [[homosexual marriage]], as if it made '''any''' sense to speak of a pair of men (or women) as a "married" couple.
+
 
+
In terms of classical logic, the argument goes like this:
+
#Torture is so bad that it should always be against the law.
+
#P is torture.
+
#Therefore, P should be against the law.
+
 
+
Liberals and other enemies of US security (and the security of our allies and friends) don't care whether anyone is being tortured. They only want America's enemies to win. So they try to ban things that we need in our fight against them.
+
 
+
If they really cared about torture, they would shout to the high heavens about what Saddam did to political prisoners, or what China is still doing to the [[Falun Gong]]. When was the last time you heard or saw anything about THAT in the mainstream media?
+
 
+
Whenever there's a [[double standard]], you can always find that what they really want is different from what they say. That's why no one really trusts the liberals. They only use people. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 18:20, 30 July 2010 (EDT)

:While I agree with your point, I guess I'm confused as to what brought your comment on? Is this related to one of my edits? [[User:Tzoran|Tyler Zoran]] <sup>[[User talk:Tzoran|Talk]]</sup> 19:45, 30 July 2010 (EDT)

::[[Walling]] ... sorry, I guess I went on a bit of a tangent there, didn't I? You know, one idea sparking another. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 22:43, 30 July 2010 (EDT)
+
:::Not a problem at all. Like I said, I heartily agree, I just wasn't sure if one of my numerous copy edits had done the same. I added a cite to the walling article, I think, but I think that's still good. "We need to distinguish between real [[torture]] and "things prohibited by anti-torture laws". I ''definitely'' have to agree on that one. Maybe I'm wrong in this, given that I see no problem with "enhanced interrogation" as I hear it called now (I mean come on, at summer camp we'd see who could hold our breath the longest in the deep end of the pool, and we never complained that it "simulated drowning") but I think that the distinction you mentioned probably gets washed away too much, wouldn't you say? [[User:Tzoran|Tyler Zoran]] <sup>[[User talk:Tzoran|Talk]]</sup> 23:40, 30 July 2010 (EDT)
+
::::'''Note:''' So in hindsight, maybe "washed away" in reference to water boarding was a really awful, albeit accidental, pun... :P Maybe the distinctions get "glossed over?" Yeah something like that. Washed away: right meaning, but probably poor word choice. [[User:Tzoran|Tyler Zoran]] <sup>[[User talk:Tzoran|Talk]]</sup> 23:42, 30 July 2010 (EDT)

I know this sounds obsessive, but the constant misuse of the word cliché on the internet drives me crazy. Cliché is not an adjective; it is a noun. "It sounds cliche but sue me" should be "It sounds clichéd but sue me". I don't know where this notion that cliché is an adjective came from, but it is now ''everywhere'' on the web.  Pardon my lunacy. I'll go and lie down now.

:Haha, nothing crazy about it! I'm always happy to be corrected. In this case, however, I must disagree with you, because even though cliché originated as a French word and is still used as a noun in that language, in modern English usage, cliché can also be used as an adjective (as can cliché'd or clichéd). This is just another example of the flexibility and adaptability of American English (and why it's the dominant global language).
