ORIGINAL: luckydawg Wierd both of those sites only give one meaning....not the multiple you claim..... "Also, under pain of. Subject to the penalty of a specific punishment." Which in our use was "death" "on pain of something (slightly formal) at risk of experiencing something bad" again the something in our discussion was "death". And the second notes it is used only for bad things. It would be ridiculous to say "under pain of an ice cream dessert" So thank you for posting those 2 links that agree with me 100%. I didn't feel like wasting my time for something so obvious. I have to admit, I was looking forward to seeing how you were going to try to weasel out of this one. I'm in a bad mood tonight, and needed a good laugh. But I didn't expect you to try anything this pathetic. Funnier than hell that you did, though, I have to admit. You say the two websites each give only one meaning, the same meaning - and then you quote two different definitions from the websites; "subject to" and "at risk of." Both of which differ somewhat from the meaning you assigned, a meaning which you insisted was the only meaning. So that's three similar but nonetheless different definitions, and you take that as proof that you were right? I ask you once again - do you even have any idea what the fuck you're talking about? quote:
ORIGINAL: luckydawg And you are actually still trying to claim, that ultimatley violence is not part of law enforcemnent. Sevral of the left wing posters (even RML) have agreed with me. It goes in the no shit Sherlock catagory. Learn to read, or if it's too much to ask of you, hire a 6-year old to read it for you. I never said i disagreed with it. I said it was a ridiculous argument to make. If you're going to disagree with a law on that basis, then you must necessarily disagree with every single law on the books, for the same reason.
