  • my political purposes? can you explain what that refers to? I don't HAVE a political purpose in this thread. I'm expressing my opinion. But it's all fine with me if you want to live in the 15th century... jees.
    No if you note that definition in the dictionary IS the definition.

    it has been so since 1576, you dont get to change its definition for your political purposes.
    exactly my point...the definition is from 1576. My point is that the definition and it's application have changed over time...is that not true? How important is it that I "admit" to being wrong? Apparently alot. And if I was wrong, I MIGHT indulge you
    Do you see the date of 1576 on that definition?

    Now do you have the guts and honor to go to the thread and admitt you were wrong?

    yeah, but there is more than one type of tweaker. LOL

    btw, when I meet a smoker/tweaker, I do everything in my power to freak them out. I think of it as a public service.
    I didn't rep for the longest time. I didn't even know how to. LOL Then I went a long time without ever giving a neg rep. Then the town clowns started making an issue out of who reps who and who neg reps, and I realized --BINGO! -- I had another angle to tweak people. LOL (see how easily I am amused?)

    I easily amuse myself. I'm amused you're amused.
