Regardless of the pronouns you used its clear you couldn't be referring to me, since that would imply your OP is actually valid, which it isn't. So I had to make the next logical conclusion, that you were referring to yourself.

  • Actually 'its' is correct in that situation you only use it's for possessive which is not what he used it for. GRAMMARNAZI TO THE RESCUE

    Actually, [i]its[/i] should always be stated [i]it is[/i] since its has never been considered a part of formal English. [i]It's[/i] is a contraction, just as [i]don't, you're, you'll, won't[/i], and [i]didn't[/i]. [i]It's[/i] is the contraction of [i]it[/i] and [i]is,[/i] when it is chosen to be used in informal English. Although in some cases, it is used accurately to describe the possessives of neutered objects or items in the same sentence once an antecedent has been established. Britton didn't have an antecedent; therefore, Britton used [i]its[/i] incorrectly. Yay for reading.

  • Yay for more deflection away from your terrible OP. I'm glad you're so fascinated by me, however its bordering on unhealthy.

  • You know what's unhealthy: Having multiple devices to help answer all your forum questions, when you're not belittling people, and having multiple accounts for that same net's forums.

  • I've only got two accounts. That's it. I only have this app on my phone, and I literally never get on a computer unless I absolutely have to for work, that's it. You're just being butthurt now.

    Two accounts is one too many. Why the heck would anyone ever need two? It isn't necessary when our daily notifications are enabled in our phones.

  • Disagreeing with ninjas, and voicing honest opinions will get you banned if you don't care about political correctness.

  • Political Correctness only shuts people up in favor of not being persecuted. If you're an advocate for the system and also against the Civil Ordinance of our Ninjas, you're a more dictatorial individual than I thought. *walks away real slowly*

    *walks back* Take charge attitude? Dictatorial means "having or showing a tendency to tell people what to do in an autocratic way." Like the Pope.

    [quote]What do you think happens when you take charge of a situation?[/quote]It depends on the situation and on who the individual is.[quote]I'm saying I agree with you lol[/quote]I feel as if I'm never going to be on equal ends with you when it comes to religion. Don't feel that I'm being hostile. It just feels as if it was always meant to be. Your history defines you, and your current state applies it. If it comes to agreeing with you on anything political or economic, our views may be the same or quite similar, but I disagree with how you present yourself with those that actually possess true religious views as I do. You need to fix your delivery and approach if you want any truly religious person to cooperate with you.[spoiler]I'm not Lol-ing.[/spoiler]

    The point is not for you to approve of what I think. My point is that you need to become all things to all people so that you may understand how to convince them.

  • No I do not. I can only be one thing, myself. If you don't like me, I'm not going to change to appease you.

  • Then how are you going to convince those who obviously disagree with you if you are unwilling to understand them?

    The point is not for you to literally change your opinion or personality, but you need to understand you need to change your approach and delivery. You need to adapt to your surroundings in order to dominate or convince individuals without them knowing that you may completely disagree with their views. Everyone is different. Treating everyone the same as you are and with the same approach as you do will get you no where with specific individuals. You'll eventually be unconvincing toward that individual.[spoiler]Try to comprehend.[/spoiler]

  • I get it, I just do not agree. Playing mind games and trying to be indirect and passively disagree, is to me, a cowardly way of handling an argument. If I disagree, I will tell you straight to your face, declare my reasoning and challenge you to rebut it. Aggressive? Yes. Can I come off as an asshole? Yes. Do I care? No.
