Here's the thesuaras entry:

Entry Word: prescribe
Function: verb
Text: 1
Synonyms DICTATE, decree, impose, lay down, ordain, set
2 to fix arbitrarily or authoritatively for the sake of order or of a clear understanding <the Constitution prescribes the conditions under which it may be amended>
Synonyms assign, define, lay down
Related Word establish, fix, set, settle; decide, determine; choose, pick out, select

NONE of those work the way you used it.

Just because one word makes sense inside a sentence, that doesn't mean that you can break out your thesaurus and put in a word that is related. I thought you were a big-time super master of the engrish language, Max. Even you should know that.

See, that's what I'm takling about. Vince's reading comprehension is so poor that he thought my entire last post was about how badly he fucked up "time immemorial."

Vince, get some help. It's obvious you have problems, but when you take the time to post definitions of a word that PROVE you used it incorrectly, and you still think you're on the money, it's time to see a reading specialist. On the other hand, your mutilation of the language is pretty fucking funny, so keep it up if you wanna.

"Prescribed" isn't the word you want, nor is "perscribes," which isn't a word at all. Come on, Vinny, get the hamster moving in that little noggin of yours. Even you should be able to figure this one out.

EDIT: Dammit, Max, I wanted to see if he could ge it on his own. I guess not, since he stil thinks he's right.

Your original gem like sentence:

"Maybe Zell Miller believes he is stil a Democrat for the simple reason that he believes in the Democratic platforms that Kennedy perscribed to."

That Kennedy laid down a rule to?
That Kennedy Dictated to?
That Kennedy decree, impose, lay down, ordain, set to?

No.

That Kennedy subscribed to?
That Kennedy felt favorably disposed to?
That Kennedy agreed to?
Consented to?

Yes.

But maybe I'm being harsh. Maybe the word 'to' was just becuase you were typing to fast. Even when you look up a word you still can't use it.

Max, if you would gather 100 people from around these fruited plains here and have them look at the usage of the word we are arguing about, there would be one answer...

The usage of the word isn't the most proper, but it's still acceptable.


Just admit no matter how many times you and your ass kissers try and make me look stupid, I am right. The few times I have backed up what I said, I have made you look like a fucking fool.

I can continue this or you can shut up. Either way suits me just fine.

You are openly admitting that you don't back up what you say?

No, it's not. It means almost exactly the opposite of what you intended. If you want to gather up those 100 people, knock yousrelf out, because I'll bet they'd choose the right word, which is still not "prescirbe."

You will never admit when you're wrong, even when it's right in front of you. You are prideful, Vinth. Isn't that one of those "deadly sin" thingies from that Bible book you "perscribe" to?

"I am right." I love this. Go outside, look up, and say "the sky is plaid" over and over, and you'll be no more right about that than you are about this.

The sky isn't plaid. If I went out and said that, it would be a lie.

The problem you all have is that you don't have anyone in your life to make you stand up for what you say. I do that. Since you hang around in your own social circles, you never feel the sting of disagreement because your friends' lips are too busy wrapped around your dicks.

I make you look two-faced here. In any kind of open debate where we could go face to face, I would destroy you.

Continue.

And while you're continuing if you can remind me of a single time where you backed up anything you've said, I'll consider this day well spent.

Really Vince, you are the worst right wing/Libertarian leanings person I have ever come across. You are brainless and you would not destroy anyone in a face to face debate. Everything you have ever said is stupid, makes no sense, and is laughed at.

You are the biggest joke of a person I have ever encountered.

Is that so? On what basis do you make that assumption? Have you been following me around, talking to people I know? Hard to believe, since you can't be bothered to research your own goddamn beliefs, let alone anything about anyone else. Maybe there'll be a blurb about me on Newsmax or something, and you can use that as a source.

Do you mean, "stand up for what you say," or "back up what you say"? It's easy to stand up for what you say. It's as simple as saying "I really believe this." Fine. Anyone can do that. It's not special. "Backing up what you say," on the other hand, is more difficult, more admirable, and above all, something that you routinely fail to do. You're a big, lying sack of shit, Vince. You never back up anything you say, ever. Try that, and maybe you'll get some of that admiration and respect you think you have.

Oh, good heavens. I hope you wouldn't destroy me like you did Max. I'm not sure I could take it. Having someone full of bluster and bombast challenging me to a debate, and then having him puss out and disappear might be more than I can bear.

sspadowsky, you are just too cute. It's a shame that your political debate skills should be put to sleep.

I don't have to back up anything I say here. My function on this message board is to state my beliefs that I have because of the facts I have gathered and the beliefs I have. When someone argues against me, I look up what they say and see if it warrents further discussion or research. You do not do the same for me, because it is easier for you to convince yourselves that I am stupid so when you call me "stupid" you can feel better about yourselves.

A tip to consider: When you "state your beliefs that you have because of the facts you have gathered and the beliefs that you have" (oh God, that's pricesless). try providing some of those facts. Again, something you routinely fail to do. For example, calling Kerry supporters "neanderthals" only makes you look like a prick, which is already well-established here. But it doesn't prove anything else. And it's certainly not something that can be looked up, which is something else you (almost) never do.

What? You don't have to back them up because you have facts? That's what we're ASKING for. Facts and evidence.

How on earth can there be meaningful discussion if people only post their beliefs, without any facts?

Shh now. Shhhhh. I know you don't have to back uop anythung you say here. I know. Of course you don't.

I just personally think you can't. But you don't have to prove anything to anyone. Shhhh, now.

"The problem you all have is that you don't have anyone in your life to make you stand up for what you say. I do that."
Sspad already made the point tthat you have no idea who we hng round with. Leave the psychic act to Naldo.

Here's a list of people on this board in order of how often I disagree with them, all of whom fulfill the function you ASCRIBE solely to yourself.

Naldo
One and Only
Abcdxzxxx
Bombs
Eyetalian
El Blanco
Pern
Brandon

Some of these guys are fine be me. Some of them I actually like lot. ALL of them, even Naldo, do a MUCH MUCH better job than you of supporting their beliefs and making me think. AL of them support their statements with more intelligence. AL of them or more likely to make a substantiated argument. You are the VERY WORST at conveying your beiefs.

NONE of them are as hysterical as you.

Punching bag? Excellent. Sparring partner? Crap.

The only reason you don't respect a thing I say is because you just don't want to. I could have evidence that shows that I am the President of Guam and you would go on about a misspelling of "President" that I had made.

Just because your artfag buddies pump you up as being smart, that doesn't mean you are. Like I said before, in an open honest debate I could kick your dumb fucking ass all over the place.

Oooh, not only can you take an unwieldy stab at my age, but you do a great job of confusing 'straight-faced webcam mugging' with 'pouty art pics'. You've certainly got me on the run!


How can you sit here and persist in the argument that you don't need to back your arguments up with facts? Where did you even construct this catastrophic failure of logic?

Don't dismiss the young'n, all of this teeth have come in and he knows who he is by now. There's nothing to be afraid of, this version can thwart your arguments painlessly without resorting to "fatty fat fat fat" or your ever-so-creative painting of the walls with "artfag".

Bring it on, slut.

"The only reason you don't respect a thing I say is because you just don't want to."

Oh, boo-hoo. Why would I take the time to hear out all those other people and not you? It's because you do a worse job than any of them. I don't even mke fun of half those people. Do you think it's cause you're so good at 'putting out' your ideas? It's because you are laugh riot.

I promise you, if you ever, ever put up evidence that you are the president of Guam, I will honor it. For instance. I think it's great you spoke to people about weight loss. I believe you lost a lot of weight and have insights about the will power it took to do it tht might benefit others. I also enjoyed your aqualung joke. I liked it enough I didn't even notice if there was anything wrong with the gramar.

I'm going to assume you saw a photo of me with glasses. I can only think of one place that's posted. All you got from that is that you think I look like an art fag? Seriously, now, Vinth.

"The only reason you don't respect a thing I say is because you just don't want to."

I think it's prettty clear that decribes you way more than it does me. Be a man.
