Point of procedure here. I posted in plaintext. if YOU choose to switch to FTX,
it’s YOUR responsibility to clean up any URLs that, because you switch, look
icky. I’ve left it icky so you can see your crime, the underbars are throwing
off the underlining and making it look all wonky. Worse, a plaintext link, by
itself, is clickable, but the same link rendered in FTX needs to be pasted in,
andonce the underbars start dictating underlining, the link is wrong when
pasted.
So... DON’T change from plaintext to FTX willy nilly!

“Republican Sen. Rick Santorum (news, bio, voting record) of Pennsylvania
countered, “It’s the equivalent of Adolf Hitler in 1942.” He said Democratic
protests over Republican efforts to ensure confirmation votes would be like
the Nazi dictator seizing Paris and then saying: “I’m in Paris. How dare you
invade me? How dare you bomb my city? It’s mine.” ”
HAHAHAHA!!! You invoked Hitler first. The D3ms 0wnz U N0w!! You l00z!

Well, there goes your argument! ;-)

That IS the problem with Godwin’s law and the (mis)application of it, even for
humor value, isn’t it? ... The Wiki I gave talks to that point nicely.
Technically I actually lost because of using L33t, I think. Assuming I was
arguing!

Yeah, invoking He-who-must-not-be-named (and I don’t mean Voldemort) was a
mistake and Santorum has already admitted it (I heard him say it live this
morning on the air), but that still doesn’t change the fact that the Dems
haven’t a leg to stand on here, that they are playing politics (and will
lose), and the Fried is correct in his assessment IMO.
|
“the Fried?” Is that some sort of tacit reference to what people in Harvard
Square do for fun? Been there, done that but let’s not go into much detail.
