I really have no idea what you're arguing about.

Well, Bachmann has that investigation going on, and loose lips have sunk her ships, she is going for the invisible look for the moment. Nutsuckers are constitutionalists (orwell, 1984)

You wrote it. And then, you just quoted it. "...whose followers have a well documented history..." That's as bad and wrong as saying that followers of Islam/Catholicism have a well documented history of violence. Is it true? Not exactly. Are there followers of Islam/Catholicism/Beck/Jones that have a history of violence? Yes. Not acknowledging that it's only some followers, and just saying "followers" extrapolates it to the whole. Same horseshit as accusing the Tea Party of being racist.

Maybe it's your attempt to paint all of their followers as violent? That's pretty much as how I took it. Of course, I'm damnably mistaken as I'm sure I'll be corrected.[;)]

Do not imagine I wrote whatever crazy shit you'd like to argue against. There is no way to read what I wrote to make it say "all" followers.

"Whose followers have a well documented history" Whose: possessive form of who followers: plural meaning someone who follows a leader have: verb meaning to possess or hold a: singular article well: adverb roughly synonymous with fully documented: means that evidence exists history: things that happened in the past NONE OF THOSE WORDS MEANS OR IMPLIES "ALL"

Not a single one of those words means or implies "all." However, whose followers have a history can mean "some followers of that person/place/thing have a history" or "all followers of that person/place/thing have a history."

However, whose followers have a history can mean "some followers of that person/place/thing have a history" or "all followers of that person/place/thing have a history." No, it simply means more than one follower has a history of violence. That is it.

quote: ORIGINAL: Yachtie People were hoping for better than Bush. We didn't get it. Not by a long shot. Matter of fact, appears the Nobel Peace Prize is looking to be the War Prize. Not surprising, when transparency is spelled secrecy. [:(] OK, widely known I'm no fan of Obama and a huge fan of open government. But still, I remember digging into that the last time there was a brouhaha about who was visiting. I don't remember details but I remember walking away satisfied that those exclusions were reasonable and sensible although they certainly could be abused. I wanted to come to a different answer but I could not.

quote: ORIGINAL: RottenJohnny quote: ORIGINAL: DomKen NONE OF THOSE WORDS MEANS OR IMPLIES "ALL" Really? quote: followers: plural meaning someone who follows a leader By selecting a group without specifying a subset you implied "all". Wrong. What I wrote is all I meant. More than one of those people's followers have been violent due to the things those guys said. Go back and look again and again at the words I wrote. Look up all the definitions. None mean or imply all.

Yachtie -> RE: War is Peace (Orwell, 1984) (8/31/2013 2:54:21 PM)
@DK "Whose followers have a well documented history" is to be regarded as "means more than one follower has a history .... That is it." Really now, imagine saying "The General, whose troops have a well documented history ..." means only "more than one of his troops has a well documented history ..." The stupid, it burns.
