I don't think there was a single sentence in that entire video that made grammatical sense.


... or ANY kind of sense, for that matter.

I don't think there was a single sentence in that entire video that made grammatical sense.

Over one grammatical error? It's good to see (did I use it right that time? = P) that the sandy vagina brigade never rests.

Perhaps either of you would care to discuss the topic rather than being fucktards?

Thank you.

@Yogi
At no point did I state that there is not some reason (not "excuse", as you validly point out in a comment on the subject) for the people in Tottenham to riot. This junction, however, was not the scene of rioting, only of looting, because no police were around (Google it: there are plenty of videos). So when I say they were doing "nothing more" than thieving, that is all I mean (and grammatically, that is all there is to infer from that expression in this sentence).


And I'm saying, you can't tell that from the videos...you have your opinion I have my much better one. I'm sorry there isn't room for you up here on my better opinion but you'll probably like it better in hell anyways...SATAN!!!

No, you’re quoting “objectivism” for its absurdity like it has another meaning.

objective

>> ^marbles:

You have failed to make any argument that liberty is self-contradicting.

The ideology expressed by the video is self contradicting, calling it liberty does not change that.

Please re-read my original post (watch out for the quotes) for three arguments for self-contradiction.
3 ≠ 0

>> ^marbles:

Incorrect. Marxism does not share that premise.

Please enlighten us, on what basis does Marx argue that workers have the right to the results of their labor?

>> ^marbles:

Where does production come from? If it is a social construction then it would be self-evident.


Production does not come from anywhere, you might as well ask where blue comes from. Please rephrase your question so that it makes grammatical sense.

>> ^marbles:

Fact: Property is the inherent, human-right of control over one's own labor and its fruits.


What mechanism in the physical world can be used to test this supposed fact?

>> ^marbles:

No, Liberty insists slavery is categorically wrong, you insist it doesn’t exist and never could.


You ideology allows the following:
1)You can sell what you own.
2)The product of my property is also my property.
Therefor : If your mother sold herself to me before you were born I own you.

If 1 is false, then your mother didn't own herself, and couldn't sell herself to me.
If 2 is false, then you have no right to the fruits of your labor on the basis of self ownership.
Which do you give up so that you don't support slavery?

>> ^marbles:

False. Social contracts are not by default based on protecting liberty.


But you said I was wrong BECAUSE disregarding property claims doesn't work in my current life. If you meant to actually make a point on some logical grounds, you should have.

You, not I, used my current social contract as evidence of the rightness of your philosophy. Now that I point out the stupidity of that argument, you claim not to have made it.

Pro-tip: Consider the consequences of your arguments before you make them.

>> ^marbles:

False again. If I produce something, it belongs to me. No social contract needed. I am perfectly within my rights to defend against someone attempting to take it from me.

If I touch something, it belongs to me. No social contract needed. I am perfectly within my rights to defend against someone attempting to take it from me.

I changed one word. Please, provide some proof that either of these statements is false, without, simultaneously disproving the other.

For those who can't stand to hear this idiot blubber, here's the text. The period at the end is a bit of grammatical generosity on my part.

"He warned the British that they weren't going to be taking away our arms by ringing those bells and making sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be secure and we were going to be free."

Westy: I don't believe you could be spending a tenth the time reading as you do posting. If you did, I can't imagine you wouldn't have picked up on some basic spelling and grammar rules. If you want people to accept or pay attention to your ideas, why not put in some small effort in writing - and why post if you're not trying to convey ideas?
If you're using "its" as a contraction for "it is", you need an apostrophe: "it's".
If you're talking about something belonging to "they", then you should use "their" instead of "there".
I'm sure you can comprehend those two rules - and following just those two rules would make your posts much easier to read and likely improve your posts' reception greatly.
Moving out from there, there are a tremendous number of spelling and grammatical mistakes in your posts. Some are understandable - it's easy to confuse "reining" and "raining" and only a pedant would jump on you for that kind of error. On the flip side, it's distracting and almost incomprehensible to see "someone" spelled "sum-one". This is a very common English word. Even if you're normally reading another language or have a deep learning/reading disability, how would you have avoided something approximating a proper spelling soaking in at some point? Surely just in the process of posting to this site you would have seen this word spelled correctly thousands of times.
Again, I think the solution is either "spend a tiny amount of time reading instead of posting" or "show a modicum of respect to people reading your posts by making the tiniest effort to spell correctly". Even if your goal is trolling, I think you'll find you get better bites if you put in some effort.
PS: Yes, I'm sure I've made some spelling or grammatical errors in this post. No, I'm not going to proofread it. No, that doesn't make me a hypocrite. I don't believe posts need to be perfect; I just think some effort should be made, and I do make some effort to write reasonably.


Gr8 job there ignoring a comment and spending all your time telling sumone how to spell depsite the fact that what they write is enterly legible.

i think that quite pointedly makes you a hypocrite but i digress =)


Let me clarify my position by quoting my own comment: "I don't believe posts need to be perfect; I just think some effort should be made, and I do make some effort to write reasonably."

I wrote that specifically to clarify why I don't think I'm being a hypocrite, but I'll clarify a bit further because, as I suspected, someone is always interested in calling hypocrite on the guy who critiques spelling. I believe that my actions and words are consistent with my position above. Again: I don't think people should feel like they need to spend time proofreading posts or should feel like they need to write perfectly; I just think that it's a good thing to put some effort into basic spelling and grammar.

Maybe you disagree with that position. Maybe you think I should put more efforts into my posts. Maybe you can find a post by me that has a lot of mistakes. None of those things would make me a hypocrite; I do try to use proper spelling and grammar, and thus I am - to simplify - practicing what I preach.

BoneRemake -- may I call you Boner? Ok.

Boner, can you at least change the title to "Whose Line Is It Anyway" so that us poor searchers of Videosift's catacombs may find all the proper results when searching, rather than having to do a second search for alternate (and very much grammatically incorrect) spellings? There just really isn't any need to be adamant about all things in life. Especially if it mucks up the functionality of the search feature. Yeah...

Is it just me personally, or is it in the realm of "asshole" to correct someone in an open forum ? could those sort of messages not be directed in a personal message ?


From my viewpoint it makes you look like a self righteous know it all who smears it in your face you spelled something wrong or left out a grammatical utensil.

Jes saying.

I wasn't stating an opinion, I was identifying the failure of a statement that incorrectly identifies a grammatical usage of a word. Unless you were referring to yourself, in that case carry on kiddo.>> ^BoneRemake:
