The only reason I do it @ all is because it gives me great personal satisfaction to see him hoist himself on his own pitard. Every time he opens his yap & misspells something 6 ways from Saturday he makes himself look like an even bigger ass. It's entertaining to me to point that out. I have agreed to avoid 'low content' posts, so from now on I shall only notate his orthographical errors in the context of an otherwise content rich post. As much as I don't personally re: that as necessary or even desirable (since the content distracts from pointing out what an idiot he is), I recognise forum rules, & will follow them, even when I disagree w/ them.

The 1st point, while true, is irrelevant, as English is littered w/ foreign words, including many from Spanish, that retain only a suggestion of their original meaning in said language, as in 'negro' meaning 'black' in colour as applied to anything vs 'Negro' referring to an ethno-racial group in English usage. Your 2nd point, however, re: offending the troll is well taken! Touche, mon frere! You win that round!

Strictly speaking negro would refer specifically to black sub Saharan Africans, which would rule out the Egyptians.

Freedom of speech means without consequences from the government, not from public opinion.

How can it be free if it's only free from one entity, especially when the elected officials are there based on public opinion?

How could it be otherwise?

If you run a shop you are free to call me a retard when I walk in but that doesn't mean I have to keep shopping with you.

Uh...of corse the ancient egyptiens were African Egypt is in AFRICA !!!

So is Libya.

The point is the ancient Egyptians may have been racially different from other Africans, and may in fact have been one of the old Semitic races similar to the Assyrians or Hyksos, or perhaps another entirely.

Or indeed any sources despite me having produced many for you.

Once again you use wikiflippinpedia for your sorce wich is wrong

I've already explained why it isn't and that's all you're getting on this front.

You can google the name for yourself if you really care, and if you don't really care then neither do I.

Im not acting contrarey to forum rules. And you are trolling by trying to get another FEr baned

calling people morons is contrary to the rules.

Can I just ask why anyone would take a show called "Duck Dynasty" seriously?

I was very disappointed to find out it was nothing like Ducktales.

What gets me is these television companies first air the comments, then try to pretend it's not all their fault that people heard something offensive.

What? The comments were made in GQ magazine...

then it's GQ's fault.

Even if we assume for the moment that all drugs are bad for you, why does that mean they should be illegal? Eating McDonald's is pretty bad for you, should we outlaw fast food?

Does McDonald's impair your ability to operate dangerous machinery?

Yes. Have you tried eating while driving?

yes, I can even manage the chips while riding a motorbike.

The burger is trickier without a flip up helmet though.

The egyptiens are African American

the ancient Egyptians may or may not have been racially African. that was the debate. there's a lack of evidence either way, pre old kingdom inhabitants were racially African but post dynastic Egypt they were not the bit in the middle was what we were debating.

Okay watever African African big dealio

It is quite a big deal to them, if you'd spoken to many Africans, from actual Africa, you'd know. It's fairly offensive, as offensive as referring to me as anglo-american when I'm not. Almost racist.

Well maybe you shouldntve picked it in the first place

why not?

I cant find any references to the contrary and there have been numerous studies on Wikipedia which have found it to be equally reliable as any other encyclopedia such as Britannica and Encarta, in some cases MORE accurate if you don't include current affairs.

http://www.livescience.com/32950-how-accurate-is-wikipedia.html

so all in all it could be considered an excellent reference point for facts on Henry VIII

sorry, I accidently put the proof in img tags, not url.

Actually, the other side did present their evidence.  It was the gnome experiment and the gravity map.  Tom dismissed this evidence by saying the gnome experiment was not controlled and that the gravity map wasn't true because spaceflight is impossible.  This claim then shifts the burden of proof onto him. 

Quote from wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophic_burden_of_proof

Proving a negative

"When the assertion to prove is a negative claim, the burden takes the form of a negative proof, proof of impossibility, or mere evidence of absence. If this negative assertion is in response to a claim made by another party in a debate, asserting the falsehood of the positive claim shifts the burden of proof from the party making the first claim to the one asserting its falsehood, as the agnostic position that "I don't believe that X is true" is different to the explicit denial "I believe that X is false".[8]"

I'd agree that the burden of proof was with him on the "no such thing as space flight" claim, but it seems to me the no controls in the gnome experiment is less clear, after all in the first instance he is making a claim directly contrary to what has been stated, in the second he is exposing something that has NOT been stated.

I mean how exactly would you have him go about proving there were no controls?

Short of tracking down the researchers or paying for the full methodology?

First of all the first one is simpeley a white man who lives in Africa (a desendint of the invaers) and mumar gadafy was a moslem who ruled an African countrey and the last one is an ethnic African American.

All three were born in Africa, all three are African. The question is which of these three races, or possibly another one, were the egyptians part of.

And I never said egyptiens were Americans what kinda moron would say that. I was simpeley saying egyptiens were African American

what is it about the "american" part of "african american" you don't understand?

You can't be african american unless you are an american of african descent, that would be like me claiming to be anglo-american when I'm english.
