first of all, either capitalize properly or not at all. do not capitalize for emphasis. STAND FOR should be in lowercase letters. furthermore, you seem to be under the mistaken impression that sentences in standard written english end with a new line. this is false. they end with a period or a full stop.


refer to the above paragraph, substituting "STAND FOR" with "DEFEND".


EH should be in lowercase letters, and offset by a comma.


this should read, "Because, you asinine idiot, you stand for nothing."


it is generally good form to combine such short and similar ideas with a conjunction. "and" would be appropriate.


note that you misspelled argument. you may read the grammatically correct version below.

Until you actually stand up for something, you illogical idiot, nobody can argue with you. That is how stupid you are. You are looking for an argument. But you cannot argue worth a shit.

note that your second sentence is devoid of real meaning. you are basically saying he is so stupid that he cannot be argued with. please clarify what you meant in saying this.


WORTH should be in lowercase letters, and the colon needs to be a comma.


YOU and ME should be in lowercase letters. here, your colon should be a period / full stop.


the semicolon should be a comma, "out" should be eliminated as it is not idiomatic in english, HUGE should be lowercase, and to achieve ellipsis you need only three periods / full stops.


YOU should be in lowercase letters, ! is not the appropriate way to express emphasis there (might i suggest a subordinate clause?).


YOU should be in lower case letters. by now, it's safe to say you've made too much use of the ellipsis. i might suggest offsetting "what do you do?" with a comma and changing W to w.


evasion is the wrong part of speech. what do we do? evasion? wrong. it should be eliminated. furthermore the next two items in your list lack a subject and are therefore imperatives. moreover it should all be lowercase, except perhaps the first letter of each item in your phrasal list.


the period, or full stop, in your sentence should be a comma, and the W in who should not be capitalized. again, why not try something besides the ellipsis?


MILLIONS should not be capitalized. please stop using the ellipsis.


i know the ellipsis should not be followed by a question tag.


see below the english version of this turakanian.

So, big-mouth, you said you 'defend' something? Exactly what is it that you 'defend', eh? And why do you defend it, eh? You have to use your brain to defend something, which is why you refuse to defend anything; you already know you will be blown out of the water if you even dare to try.

native speakers of the english language might be amused to note the number of corrections made in that paragraph.


replace ellipsis with comma. change EH to eh.


see above.


the following words should not be capitalized: NO, ANYTHING, ANYTHING, NO, ANYTHING. these three sentences could have been more artfully combined as follows:

You have no opinion on, no conviction regarding, nor any idea about anything.


change the ellipsis to either a period/full stop or exclamation point. ONE THING should not be capitalized.


the semicolon should become a comma, the colon should become a semicolon, and the comma should be eliminated as it is superfluous.


NOTHING should not be capitalized. again, these two sentences could be more masterfully arranged. i leave this as an exercise to the student.



he finished with a proper sentence? miraculous. except is a verb in the imperative tense. i knew turak had it in him.

your volley, sir?

Your amusement will wear thin and the thin veil of disguised humor will fall away to show you in all of your grotesque adolescence.

You have answered no questions, you have forwarded no interesting topics, you have added nothing positive beyond a small influx of amusement in an area which usually only excites intellectually. Reading your posts is akin to watching a daytime soap opera that is rated X

My roomate freshman year was a devout catholic republican and a political science major, so fairly informed and well read in politics and actually took the time to know the ins and outs of her religion too.

Having an arguement with her was like having a great conversation. The range of topics was huge and we usually were of opposite views, yet i learned. Didnt agree with everything, nor did we even have to agree to disagree on everything.

That's one of the reasons i returned to this board, and why i like playing on the debate part of the forums.

Turak, i've really tried to take in what you have to say for the simple reason there's got to be something behind it that makes you believe in it and thus something i can learn.

As a scientist, i get that you cannot always take things for granted as set in stone fact (one of the reasons i adimatly say in here that science has 'facts' but really they're just the closest we've got for now). Just like you cant advance further with celestial movement if we took it for granted that the planets moved in a circle. Just like our nanotechnology wouldnt be where it is today if we still believed in the plumb pudding model of an atom or bohr's model.

However, if we never took newton's laws for what they were we would not be able to predict kinematic motion as well as we do. Einstein showed the flaws in his stuff but you've got to base things somewhere to advance.

You have to assume the sun will rise tomorrow to make plans, you have to assume the water will come on when you turn the spicket or your computer will turn on when you press the switch. Assumption is how we can manage to live daily.

You know what though, sometimes the computer doesnt turn on. Then you reevaluate and figure out why things arent the way you expect them to be.

I do wish though, that you contributed real content to this forum. The ad hominem attacks are past getting old now and for someone as experienced in life as you claim to be, it's really immature.
