Your school needs to brush you up on that a bit: http://www.elearnenglishlangua...

"Jane Goodall works with Chimpanzees not Gorillas. "

With creimer, it makes no difference.

"Your thinking of Dian Fossey"

You're thinking of you're, not your.

"Look shit up before you post."

http://www.elearnenglishlangua...

Look, dude, I agree with you 100%.

But please learn the difference between "you're" and "your".

Also, the taxes I pay have a much larger effect on my overall quality of life since my income is much, much smaller and I have much, much less leeway in my budget. Not that I mind paying for the public good, I'm a socialist.

You do mind how much money someone else pays relative to how much you pay but you say you don't mind paying? So really, you're just jealous that someone, somewhere, has more money than you do.

2. I'd like to live in a world where my entire quality of life doesn't depend on my job and how valuable I am to the ruling class.

So, socialist, you'd rather live in precisely such a world where a ruling class with a different label gets to decide things? Also, it's funny how you are angry that you must work for a living yet you demand that everyone else work to help support you especially corporations that don't happen to directly employ you. But I suppose the grass is always greener in someone else's yard, eh? That must mean they stole that green grass from you!

3. You're analogy is nonsense. The dog will come to me because I am ladened with meat. America, with it's security, safety and wealth is that meat. Why in God's good name would I want a hungry, probably vicious dog to come and eat all my meat and kill me?

First, read this.
Second, the analogy makes sense if you don't change it around and straw man it to try and attack it. The fact that you claimed "the dog will come to me because I am ladened (sic) with meat" just proves that you understood perfectly well what the analogy meant.

4. Why do we toss principles out the window when they're not useful to our ruling class? Are we really this dense?

So because someone else does something that you consider wrong makes it OK for you to do it too?

It's tax evasion if you're evading taxes that are meant to support the infrastructure that make these bastards rich.

I presume you're sending all of your spare money to the people of sub-Saharan Africa who're much worse off than you are? Careful, your jealousy is showing.

Letter of the law vs the spirit. You don't give up on the spirit of the law because it's _hard_.

That's interesting because you just said that we were dense for not doing as "those rich bastards" do-- i.e. disobeying the spirit of the law while following it to the letter.

On a side note, That has always been the difference between left wing socialists and right wing ideologue. The socialist doesn't just throw his hands up and leave it all up the the hand of fate. When in your life has any complex problem been better solved by leaving it to blind fucking chance?

So left wing socialists aren't ideologues but right wingers are? That's interesting considering the nature and tone of your arguments thus far-- calling certain people "rich bastards" for example.

Also, I'm not impressed by what a tough, intelligent, ubermensch you are that you leave nothing to chance and you totally take control of your life and everything. If you're so driven, so intelligent, and so in control of your life then why aren't you rich enough such that you don't have to worry about whether some corp that you have nothing to do with is paying what you consider its fair share of taxes?

Furthermore, I didn't advocate leaving anything to chance. That's a straw man that you put up so that you could attack it. Ideologue.

Why don't you leave this country and go live in one of the world's fabulous socialist countries? Wouldn't it make sense? Wouldn't you be happier there?

i want some of this "lightening fast". i have a gut that i want to get rid of.

This is end stage capitalism, where profit come from market manipulation, i.e. theft. It is always more profitable to steal money then honestly make money.

WTF?

Than This isn't difficult. Than vs Then

Yeah, I don't take constructive criticism well, either. But the parent's correct. The possessive form of "it" is a special case. See http://www.elearnenglishlanguage.com/difficulties/its.html or just Google "its vs. it's". Basically, "it's" *always* means "it is" or "it has", never possession. You meant "its".

They're "losing", not "loosing":

http://www.elearnenglishlanguage.com/difficulties/looselose.html

I know I'm being a spelling Nazi, but there it is.

Just to be a pedant: e.g. vs i.e.

Its. Its. Its. Particularly ironic as you're mocking someone else's presentation skills.

A simple lesson
It's means "It is"
You basically wrote "1997 wants it is forum software back"

Resources for you: 1 2 ... aww hell, just use google and search its vs it's

It has *less* features than other mobile phones...

Obligatory grammar nazi post: that should be fewer features.

Why?
