Here's a simple test... What is the difference in the practical meaning
of these two statements?

"I would appreciate your not opening your mouth."

"Why don't you shut the **** up?"

I'm curious about the experiences of anyone out there who's taken
college-level reading comprehension tests.


Here's a simpler test. Are the following two lines the same?

"First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed."
"It is condemned as paradoxical"

Can you spot the difference? If you claim that you're always right, you
probably can’t spot the difference.


What, no answer, Willie? I'm waiting.


I'm wondering what someone with no name gets out of all this trolling. You
must be someone of no consequence or accomplishments to not want us to know
who you are.
