Not quite right.
Joe = Singular
Joes = Plural
Joe's = Singular possesive, i.e. Joe's car, but can also be used for contraction i.e. Joe's happy = Joe is happy.
Joes' = Plural possesive, i.e. when you have more that one Joe that own stuff, i.e. Joes' wives, the wives of more than one joe.
It's is the contaction of it is i.e. it's raining, in the case of the possesive for it [so it is a pronoun] the apostrophy is lost so it's just its, its car.
:spreading Socialism with Chinese chrematistics. It is time
chrematistics?
not trying to be a bastard, but I'm having trouble what word you mean! At first I thought I was just ignorant, so looked it up, but no dictionary I have access to has it. Bst guess is; characteristics?
anyone a suggestion?
so canadians aren't american!? this clears up a lot of confusion i've had over the years but still begs the question, where is canada, I thought it was in North America, but must be wrong, oh well either Australians are stupid or someone esle is.
My local Blockbuster [Sydney Australia] has late fees that seem to me to be entirely fair. They are charged on a pro-rata basis, if you take out a 7 day item and return it a day late you pay 1/7th of the hire fee. If you pay this on the spot when you return it, rather than when you next hire, this fee is halved.
having said this I suspect [but don't know for sure] that Australia has more franchises and less corporate stores.
I understand your point, I just don't agree with it, especially without verification. That's a whole world of difference. I live in.au and our statstics are no where near the level you quote. Of course I won't include the sources as this isn't a term paper.
Lame? What does brocaded fabric woven with metallic threads, often of gold or silver, have to do with your point.
I don't necessarily disagree with your position on smoking. I'm a reformed smoker and have been described now as an Anti Smoking Nazi.
HOWEVER, if you are going to quote figures like that at least back them up with sources. I'd suggest that you are also paying for all the people injured car accidents, do you begrudge people their privilege to drive?
I'm against making war, needlessly and unjustifiably. Participating as a mindless drone, you offer a very good example of this, the Wermacht.
You win. I can't fight unreasoning dogma.
well let's all hope for a friendly fire incident.
really it is attitudes like yours that make the rest of the world generalise that americans must be insane.
I'll finish with a quote, which you'll probably ignore because it's from a Frenchman, I havent seen much good come from the actions of the USA lately.
"America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great."
~ Alexis Charles Henri Clérel de Tocqueville (1805-59)
French politician, traveler, historian, Democracy in America
really! you didn't vote? gonna use up some of my karma here by telling you that you're a both moronic and idiotic. I hope there's nothing your government has done for you to complain about, becasue to my way of thinking you have no right.
yes I'm not a citizen of your fine country. Australia suits me fine.
Snowcrash, Neal Stephenson, the Reverend in said book was trying to develop memes as a way of controlling the workforse. Based on the idea that the knowledge, say a programmer, took home in their head was akin to stealing everyday when you knock off.
Since Neal references ancient Mesopotamia and ancient gods such as Enki, sounds like this is not a new thing.
correct me if I'm wrong, it's been a while since I read the book, and it should also be noted that it's fiction.
check the preamble to the Australian constitution, it includes the north and south isles of NZ as states of Australia.
also no one forgets Tassie, it's just a given.
