We're looking at you because you claim you didn't understand the metaphor. Enlil understood, he just likes yanking people's chains every now and then.
Oh, and by 'yanking people's chains', I don't actually mean he's pulling a literal chain. It means he likes to harass people, since you might need that explained.

My chronology of the current tangent. As long and pointless as the original
Enlil and falcon have disagreement about corporations owning government. Falcon says Enlil has a semantics fetish LDS defends sexual attraction to the definition of words Falcon and Ecstatic attack LDS's defence of logophilia, unrelated to 'run/own' controversy, more related to fence riding in other threads Quote:
Falcon91Wolvrn03 said: The irony is that people are speaking out against LDS and no one is siding with him. Yet in his own mind he pretends he is the adult in the room. What has he contributed to this discussion?
Everyone here knows what it means when it is said corporations own the Government (including Enlil). For LDS, it means they have influence over politicians through campaign contributions.
Thus invoked, I speak up in LDSs defence, semantics are worthwhile Akira is confused, attacks me on 'run/own' controversy Falcon seems to have forgotten only Enlil commented on the misuse of 'own' and accuses me of doing so.
And here we are, several degrees separated from the discussion, mostly to call each other names. Congratulations

Not a bad summary! I made just a few minor modifications (highlighted with underlines and strikethroughs):
Quote:
Crumist said: Enlil and falcon have disagreement about corporations owning government. Falcon says Enlil has a semantics fetish LDS defends sexual attraction to the definition of words Falcon and Ecstatic attack LDS's defence of logophilia, because it's obvious what 'owns the Government' means but Falcon provides the following explanation just in case he really didn't get it:
Quote:

Thus invoked, I speak up in LDSs defence, semantics are worthwhile. Akira is confused, attacks me on once again clarifies the 'run/own' controversy Falcon seems to have forgotten only Enlil commented on the misuse of 'own' and accuses me of doing so. is surprised you don't get what'owns' means even after having it explained to you TWICE. And here we are, several degrees separated from the discussion, mostly to call each other names. Congratulations

And from my perspective, we went from corporations "owning" government to them only "running" government, and now it seems we've backpedaled to "influencing" government.
This, my dear friends, is why words matter.
If you want to take an absurd position, expect it to be called out. If hyperbole is fair rhetoric, then certainly challenging that hyperbole as being dishonest is equally fair rhetoric.

i don't care for mindgames. you say one thing, someone else says another, what "the problem is" with whatever you people are complaining about. why don't you just come out with it, what's true?

What's true is that the voters are responsible for this mess, and they'll be responsible for the continued decline.

Are all voters responsible in your opinion? What about someone who always votes for the eventual loser?
Is the nonvoter absolved of guiltresponsibility?

Wait a minute, am I truly a "dear friend" of yours? I'm calling you out on your hyperbole! 
Of course, I'm just kidding and I knew what you were saying, but if we called you out every time like you and lds do, we'd never have a meaningful discussion. I'll bet NO ONE here took 'own' literally in the first place, and if anyone did, it was clarified many posts ago.

Is voting real? Voters? The fucking Easter bunnies are responcible! What the fuck is a vote? Fucking worth less than shit. American politics across the world in my living room, it's a bad television show. Seriously, blame it on God. God is doing it. Voters my arse. One has to seriously deluded to claim that there are options in democracy. I'll never be a lawyer or more than barely functional, but fuck damn so called professionals and experts all ways sound as convincing as Jewhova Witnesses. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? The voters are responcible LOL.
