Do you own a dictionary? If not, try this online one:

Your ignorance of the English language is not my problem. And rather than tell others than they can't speak English, maybe you should educate yourself first, concierge. Just a thought. @:-)

Shrug. That's why it is a free country.

I'm amused by the fact that you don't like discussion with others who do not share your views. You entered this thread attacking me and insinuating that you know my motives. But, like with your claim about my command of the English language, you've put the cart before the horse. You know nothing about me and have me completely wrong.

But hey, you know what they say about assume, right?

Does this post contribute to proving any claim relevant to the topic of discussion? I'm not convinced that mocking another is a component of effective argumentation, and I know the attack is not related to the original topic.

I think it is related.

One the difficulties we have in this discussion is that certain posters think that anyone who doesn't like a company publicly thanking the military obviously "hates" the military (and probably America too). What I aimed to do her is show how just as the concierge was dead wrong about his supposition of my command of the English language (through his assumption), so too is his assumption about my hatred for this country ill-founded. He has egg on his face for the claim about argumentation not being a word. He also should have it with respect to his claim about me hating America.

So that's the relevance.

Just so I'm clear, you don't care if you are wrong about your stated reading of a poster?

What happened to "How dare you stereotype in the way that you do" that you wrote above? What's good for the goose...

Other people, maybe. You, not at all.

many other instances. some doctors have already given their lives.
probably, your very own family doctor has put his or her own life in jeapordy at some time or another to treat a sick patient.

Anyone who has worked in an ER has put their life on the line.

Then why do you keep responding to my posts?

You obviously do care, or you wouldn't be reading this.
