Re: DBT/Facebook commentary thread
I think that while those comparative and superlative forms are technically correct, it feels more "natural" (for lack of a better descriptive) to say "more stupid" and "most stupid".whatwouldcooleydo? wrote:though this link and others say stupider and stupidest are proper, I still don't think they sound right in actual usagedrommel56 wrote:

If you say/write it and some folks understand roughly what you meant, it's a word.
Whether you want to use it is up to you!

Re: DBT/Facebook commentary thread
Presumably a matter of regional variation, but "more stupid" (not "stupider") and "stupidest" (not "most stupid") sound/feel like the right usages to me.Flea wrote:I think that while those comparative and superlative forms are technically correct, it feels more "natural" (for lack of a better descriptive) to say "more stupid" and "most stupid".

This time, it was for asking a guy, who by this point, had made several posts about how the very concept of age of consent laws are nothing but a moral construct, if he was the president of NAMBLA, or just a garden variety pedophile.

Re: DBT/Facebook commentary thread
Sorry for the diversion, but what does that mean "nothing but a moral construct"? Isn't a moral construct exactly and unambiguously what age of consent laws are, and isn't that a good thing? Or put another way, if being a "moral construct" is worthy of contempt, what analytical framework does he propose?sactochris wrote:whatwouldcooleydo? wrote:as a non-Facebooker, what does one have to do to get such a "time out"?sactochris wrote:I am in facebook jail again.

Re: DBT/Facebook commentary thread
Well, of course it's a moral construct. And culturally relative, and all that. People can have very reasonable disagreements about whether it should be fourteen or twenty-five.* That argument usually comes from someone who wants an analytical framework to rationalize kiddie plooking, though, so shit on 'em, statistically speaking.beantownbubba wrote:Sorry for the diversion, but what does that mean "nothing but a moral construct"?

*I have that particular disagreement with myself often.
Some days I say, yes, it should be either fourteen or twenty-five, but I can't decide which. Other days, I say no, there's some other, more reasonable number, which no one will ever agree upon. And when I feel ambitious, I write letters to Google asking them to shape human evolution so we have a little "ready" light on our forehead for our own individual values.

Haha, just saw this. Those 2 toolbags were top prize winners for douchebag of the year. Don't post shit just because you want to start controversy or at least don't be stupid enough to admit it. And realize it is NOT a dating site, especially when one of the moderators has warned you to be respectful. Wonder what they do with their spare time now that they have been removed?

That's nice of you to say. I try to post some interesting things and add my two cents here and there.
