| Well, that sucks. I would however argue against Superhero comics being formulaic. Some are yes but usually the better ones are not, although there are some that are formulaic but do it masterfully. That is not to say that Filibuster was by any means formulaic just that I'm a comic nerd. Also I would... |

Tired of the same old soda? Try new root negative one fruit blend. Try one sip and you'll agree, it's unreal.
And now back to your irregularly scheduled math off. |

| they were "The geese of Canada" or "Canada's Geese" and it simply got turned into Canada Geese. That would make "Canadian geese" more accurate, wouldn't it? " Canadian " is a closer match to to the meaning of " Canada's " than is " Canada "... |

That's to distinguish it from the wisent!
Wait... wisent? Never heard of it. But in that case wisent and bison are already... well they're already different words so I don't quite see the need. |

| Like I said I think the reaction was overblown, it pissed me off but I didn't join any Facebook groups of anything, not that I would have anyway since I hate Facebook and it is almost nothing but overreactions. I just thought you were misreading why people were annoyed, but it seems as though either... |

| Amilam, just to preface this statement I actually have Canadian and American citizenship and although I would probably in general prefer to live in Canada I think that the American congressional system in general is MUCH stronger than the Canadian parliamentary. I do think that the reaction was over... |

| Okay, simply put America has a population of what, around 300 million, not going to bother looking it up, don't care enough. There are so many different people there and so many different sub-cultures that two people can go to the U.S. ten times each and have extremely different "average" ... |

| Going on Leno can not cheapen the presidency any more then many sinanigan's of Bush. Although I personally agree that in principal going on Leno does not cheapen the presidency, only in principal because as I said before I have not seen the segment, the logic of comparing it to how you felt Bush ch... |

| What I'll say about this is limited, as I did not see the segment. It certainly can be construed as cheapening the presidency however the intended affect was clear. As has already been mentioned, whether one agrees with it or not, Obama has been characterized as a man of the people and although appe... |

| I truly hope the GOP eventually dies out, granted there will always be a party for social conservatives, but I'd love to see a party that is fiscally conservative and socially liberal take the forefront. The Libertarian party would fit that mold, but I tend to believe that some state is a necessary... |

Quote: Geryon, if you don't know what a word means, don't use it. The internet is not the best and most reliable place to learn these words.
Okay I'll remember for the future trying to discredit someone by attacking them rather than their points or information is not an ad hominem argument. Thanks. |
