about elcid89
With all of the complaining that goes on here (some of you honestly seem incapable of doing anything else BUT complaining ...), GoLo has become depressing.
With the general trend towards the banal and inane, GoLo has become a waste of my time.
What is it about this place, which has so much promise of bringing people together to discuss ideas and learn from one another, that it brings out the worst in people instead?
You'll forgive me if I take my leave of it.

I learned a bit from that conversation as well. I'm also learning the difference between discussing a topic and characterizing the language in such a way as to find a way to indicate that I don't necessarily agree with what I'm discussing.
Being an attorney, everything tends to be literal with me, and the associated connotations sometimes are realized after the fact . What I expect to be a simple statement quite often has had implied offense that was quite unintended.
So this is educational for me as well.

Glad you're finally a member; but do you charge for your advice?

Once again, Elcid, you have enlightened me. I never understood why Bush would not do anything about the people coming into our country illegally. I still don't like it though.

I can't resist asking why anyone would get their picture taken by a "nude photographer". Is this a misplaced modifier, or is something dangling? I'll have to watch where I get my portraits taken...

Don't take this the wrong way, but have you been smoking weed or something? Because that can get you in trouble, even at UNC.
Okay, maybe not at UNC. But everywhere else it can.

The whole point of debating is to win. And there are two components to winning any debate. One, present overwhelming evidence that your position is correct and two, make the opposition look like fools. Fortunately, debating with a leftist is easy and takes little effort. Well, perhaps to keep from laughing...

And I have no illusions of ever being able to "convert" a leftists. The best I can hope for is one of those middle 40 percent of the electorate who is sitting on the fence, or perhaps has never considered any position, to hear both sides and realize that conservativism is in everyone's best interests and that leftists are insane.
The latter is easy. All leftists have to do is speak and it becomes abundently clear. And given their protests, often they don't even have to speak to clearly demonstrate their inability to think properly.

Her father is Chip Auman, i.e. Fred W. Auman III, an attorney in Hartsville, SC.
According to Brunswick County Tax Records, as of this morning, the owner of record for this home is Fred W. Auman, Jr., of Darlington, SC.
These are clearly not the same person. They are father and son. The girl and her friends were staying at the home of the girl's grandfather, not that of her parents.
