don't you mean innuendo?
Loved that game system. I think Donkey Kong was my favorite, though a lot of people preferred Mario.

To each his own.

sophists are really good at that the minute you confront them on what they are suggesting they protest with I didn't say that
You know who else does that?

People you're lying about. I mean you, literally, not the more general, figurative usage. People chrys routinely lies about tend to protest when he lies about them, repeatedly.

So I guess that's a context sensitive response.

what is the lie?
Lies. Multiple, willful misstatements of other people's positions. Positions that have been clarified and set for your understanding.

To start with one, every time you say I "support" gay marriage you're willfully misleading anyone who isn't familiar with my actual position, giving them an impression that is at odds with my repeated, qualified statements on both the moral and legal question.

I'm not in favor of gay marriage. I don't attempt to advance that use of the institution. I have, in fact, been clear in my opinion that such a union would be and is contrary to my religious and moral beliefs, exists as a sinful state in opposition to the ordinances of God and the well being of the individuals involved.

I've also stated that my moral beliefs, absent a compelling parallel and secular argument, which I've yet to hear or contrive, cannot stand in the way of the fundamental legal principle in play here, one that is effortlessly exercised by all sorts of people whose unions fall outside of my and your moral wheelhouses. So the Hindu, the atheist, the homosexual, none of whom enter into a relationship before God within the Biblical understanding, are free to enter into a covenant before and sanctioned by the state.

I am from Tartessos
Tartessos, hum???

Yes, my mother was a Phoenician, from Tripoli. My father was a Vandal from Tripoli. We moved to Tartessos, when I was a young girl.

Yes, I'd like a number four with...curly fries and can I substitute a milkshake for the chocolate meal in a happy meal, because that's just dark, semi-sweet water.

And add an empanada to that if you have one. :plain:

They are seeking vacation? Por qué los refugiados emigran ahora de forma masiva a Europa.

My sister, Málaga Vandalusia, still lives there, in Andalusia, were my family once called home. It was too cold for me; I returned to Tripoli.
It is nice to vacation in Tyre, there visiting my sister Europa Vandalusia.

I'm not real sure how to describe the aim of this really. Go for any subject in non specific terms or coherence?

God is a circle that is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere.

We are finite and God is infinite. That is my own baseline opinion.
