I didnt claim the 2 words were identical in meaning. Those hormones are giving you hallucinations.

The next time this debate appears, can you do us all a favour and just do the same cycle in your own little head, fool?

No cycles, please. Ian refuses to travel in a rickshaw. He believes it makes him look uncouth.

When in Paharganj, Ian travels in one of those three-wheeler things.

He doesn't know how. It's his typical cycle: argue against, be shown he is wrong, pretend he never argued against, run away, wait until next time and pretend nothing ever happened.

Good find with Oxford dictionary illegal vs unlawful btw!  Normal people would typically agree with the opinion of the Oxford dictionary on the English language. It's unfortunate we deal with these nutters.

Yeah. How can you argue with the Oxford dictionary? It beggars belief.

But you did claim that statements that were correct were not correct based on that belief.

This is an interesting question in reality if it is even true that he is unpopular. To claim he is unpopular I would guess we refer to popularity polls for preferred PM which in a way is fair enough.

The interesting aspect is that in comparison if you look at the corresponding topic asking the same of Abbott you see concreate factual reason after reason listed to drive the result but when you look at this topic all you get is wishy washy garbage. There has been no reason with substance given.

That is mostly because there is in reality no reason. This make you wonder what it really means in itself, does it mean that it could quickly turn around (or not).

The two person option means that if one is popular the other can't be, does this reflect reality ? What happens as the Turnbull popularity invariably diminishes the vote can go no place other than to Shorten ?

Turnbull's numbers being unsustainably high means that Shortens is unsustainably Low. What happens if Turnbull tries to release another failed budget ? What happens if Turnbull tries to electioneer on increasing the GST or cutting back health and education etc ?

How can Turnbull not campaign on cutting back health and education considering that they have spent three years doing just that when the promised not to ?

How can the Liberals go to the next election with any credibility considering they have set a lying record this term ?

How can all this not result in Shorten's popularity rating being drastically improved by the next election ?

Oh mothra... the last few weeks have not made you any smarter.  You literally quoted two definitions  that are virtually word-for-word identical. But no... peccahead has spoken and you are therefore drawn to agree with him, no matter how dumb the statement is.

Do you even know what 'synonym' means? I could quote a dictionary definition, but the above proves that would be a worthless exercise.

'construe words" Lol. Way to illustrate your command of the English language. Time to change your tampon, I think toxic shock syndrome has set in..

Grin says the fool who for the better part of 3 years has done the same routine of claiming two words are identical in meaning, being shown to be wrong, escapes under a rock, then comes back and pretends he was never schooled.

So tell me, fool, how did I misunderstand your stupendous argument?


When the Oxford Dictionary tells you the two words are synonymous, who the hell do you think YOU are to disagree?
