persuade my end of year vote nominations

[Goatweed]

too bad one didnt grow in her throat & block the windpipe.

[funsnapsdyno]

.. in with the good air, out with the bad...
.. in with funsnaps.. out with goatweed..

[Goatweed]

your endless wit never ceases to amaze me.

[Jack]

your endless desire to be completely destroyed day in and day out never ceases to amaze me.

There.. fixed.

[funsnapsdyno]

your endless desire to be completely destroyed day in and day out never ceases to amaze me.

There.. fixed.

destroyed? I wouldn't say that.

[Goatweed]

would 'raped & left for dead' be more accurate?

[funsnapsdyno]

Believe it or not, some people here make me laugh..

and if it looks like I'm being destroyed.. it's all in the way I look at it. I toughened up since joining this board. It's a message board and I could care less what you say about me.. it's finally sunk in : )

[Goatweed]

yeah, we really got you ready yo take on the harsh reality of real life!

[Hoon]

she says this now... in a few days she'll be on top of her building in a night gown because arpi tells her to stfu.

i've seen it countless times with her.

[Mad]

She's bi-polar, interesting...

[Galt]

And if you'd been a part of this board for the last few years, not only would you be even tougher, but you'd realize that the proper phrase is COULDN'T CARE LESS since the other way is irrational.

[funsnapsdyno]

Taken literally, if one could care less, then one must care at least a little, which is obviously the opposite of what is meant. It is so clearly logical nonsense that to condemn it for being so (as some commentators have done) misses the point. The intent is obviously sarcastic—the speaker is really saying, “As if there was something in the world that I care less about”.

[Galt]

words mean things. Say what you mean.

It's so common and commonly wrong, people rationalize its existence to mean something it doesn't say.

It's easier and nicer than saying "everyone is stupid"

[The Jays]

I remember Galt's annoyance with could care less/couldn't care less. He made good points in that thread back in the day. I think of him whenever the phrase comes up.

it's not obviously sarcastic, it's obvious to the writer because that is their opinion. I completely agree with galt on this one, because it is obviously just dumb, obviously.

You obviously didn't read that link I provided.. it's obviously a matter of opinion. It's so obvious.

[Goatweed]

you're a dumb cunt - obviously.

[Hoon]

another phrase i hear alot that i hate is 'the ole' bait & switch'.

i've seen car dealers draw you in with a great deal but how do they switch? sure, they want you to buy something more expensive but it's not like they switched the chevelle with a benz on your way to the lot!

Obviously, you also need lessons in what obviously actually means. The writer is saying its obviously sarcastic and the speaker is really saying.... well most speakers are idiots, case in point you, so it's not really obvious to them that they are saying it wrong. So they hunt out other idiots who sound somewhat intelligent to back up their claims.

he wrote it on a page on the internet, it must be true.

[funsnapsdyno]

Wrong!

I could care less is sarcasm

similar to Gonzo is the smartest person here
