Weird Stuff/Unexplained Title: Translation Needed Please Some wingnut on another board has this as his tagline: "I will be voting for whoever [sic] wins the GOP PRIMARY. PERIOD." Does he mean the FIRST primary, the last primary or the primary in his state? If whomever wins that primary doesn't win the nomination, will he be writing in a candidate? Enquiring minds want to know... Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Comments (1-9) not displayed.
#10. To: Get Outta Dodge! (#4) Ouch...Like Spock but with the beard? America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything... #11. To: war (#9) This is why nobody takes you serious. It was DEMONSTRATED to you that whoever was the correct usage, yet you insist on being an idiot. It's the same way you are about everything. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president #12. To: no gnu taxes (#11) Dumbass...the conditions that you stated DO NOT exist for that statement. Now fuck off, boy... America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything... #13. To: war (#0) Does he mean the FIRST primary, the last primary or the primary in his state? If whomever wins that primary doesn't win the nomination, will he be writing in a candidate? He probably means the candidate nominated at the GOP convention, after all the taxpayer funded primaries are over..
#14. To: war (#12) Idiot, it exists EXACTLY as stated. This is why nobody takes you serious. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president #15. To: no gnu taxes (#14) Idiot, it exists EXACTLY as stated. This is why nobody takes you serious. That should be "seriously". "...all of the equations in neoclassical economics are rubbish. The differential equations describe nothing. Economics is not about mathematics, it is about the human being." Sandeep Jaitly #16. To: no gnu taxes (#14) (Edited) Dumbass...the conditions that you stated DO NOT exist for that statement.And that should be "seriously", sperm bank... America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything... #17. To: lucysmom (#15) ROFLMAO...you JUST beat me!!!! America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything... #18. To: war (#17) ROFLMAO...you JUST beat me!!!! Hey - high five! "...all of the equations in neoclassical economics are rubbish. The differential equations describe nothing. Economics is not about mathematics, it is about the human being." Sandeep Jaitly #19. To: no gnu taxes (#11) It's the same way you are about everything. Among all my kook anti groupies, he is the one with the most serious mental health issues in my opinion. Sometimes its extremely satisfying to note in passing, but then I see something like this via a non 'article' posted in the news column. Or more likely a cut and paste I usually ignore from one of you guys. Its just sad. An allegedly grown man begging another man he's never met to pay attention to him, every single day? By any means? Wow... Greg was right about him before he died (magic to some of you). He's just a sick twisted fuck with no life off the internet, combined with raw envy. Its the only rational explanation after a decade of this type of behavior. And once again, he's pushing the patience of somebody that granted him posting rights in a political forum. Eventually, he'll wear out our hosts patience, and get banned permanently. As he has at FR (twice at least), LP, PBN/PLN, GBR, etc etc etc. Hell, they even banned him from a couple of other LP offshoots that exist solely for kooks (so it seems, anyway). This is why I've never bothered to ask any site owner to ban him. I know eventually they'll do so on their own. They always find themselves forced to, due to what appears to be an obvious personality disorder. My honest opinion here. When you repeat an action over and over again, expecting a different result..... Its just sad. The most pathetic part of all? He'll get gratification - I won't speculate type here - that I even bothered to comment on this thread. The databases on multiple websites do not lie. Literally hundreds of thousands of posts unresponded to. Wow. So his disorder forces him to 'this'. Oh well, he's not my problem, he's Stone's problem, as he was JR's, Goldi's, and a half a dozen others. Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao #20. To: lucysmom (#15) Idiot, it exists EXACTLY as stated. This is why nobody takes you serious. You are correct. At least I will admit when I make a mistake. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president #21. To: war (#16) It should be seriously. It should also be whoever, as was PROVEN to you but you are too much of an idiot to admit it. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president #22. To: Badeye (#19) This is why I've never bothered to ask any site owner to ban him. Stone bans lots of people I've seen, but then lets them come back. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president #23. To: no gnu taxes (#22) Stone has the personality disorder around here.
#24. To: Badeye, war (#19) Among all my kook anti groupies, he is the one with the most serious mental health issues in my opinion.

Wow... I thought you said you were the one who was in his head! LOLOL
#25. To: war, lucysmom (#21) And anyway for you clowns, while I agree that "take you serious" may not be grammatically correct, it is so commonly used in everyday talk that I guarantee you will not go through the week without using it yourselves in some manner, despite your posturings. However, whoever was also correct as I demonstrated, and if either of you had any integrity, you'd admit it, but I already know you leftards have never had any integrity. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president #26. To: Fred Mertz (#23) Stone has the personality disorder around here. So does Boofer with that piece of crap above. FWIW, Magic, whom I had kept in fairly steady contact with, sent me an email in the Spring before his death asking me to consider burying the hatchet with Boofer. I had no idea that the Colonel was ill. I got a very nice email from his family after he had passed and to this day I honor one of his legacies... It's hilarious that Boofer harps on my internet posting...my businesses are doing very well...knock wood...he, on the other hand, is bitching that he, his wife and his "partner" are about to go tits up but he still manages time to post all day. Over the last year, we've developed 3 new products, recession proof - there's always a school year, weddings and anniversries - to go with the dozen or so we have that are somewhat seasonal. And I have two years left here on my 100% guaranteed contract... Sucks to be him so of course he lashes out... America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything... #27. To: mininggold (#24) (GRIN) America...My Kind Of Place...

To: no gnu taxes (#25) Keep treading water until the 50spf wears off Paddy... America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything... #29. To: war (#26) Over the last year, we've developed 3 new products, recession proof - It must be booze of some kind. Going to the doc now for follow-up. I'm as healthy as an ox. Later 'gator
#30. To: Fred Mertz (#29) They told my dad that and he died the next night in his sleep... Good luck... America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything... #31. To: war (#30) I'm as healthy as an ox. You must be a real hoot at parties . . . :-) __________________________________________________________________________________________
#32. To: no gnu taxes (#21) ...but you are too much of an idiot to admit it. BTW, I can never be too much of an idiot. I always seem to find the right amount... America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything... #33. To: Get Outta Dodge! (#31) You must be a real hoot at parties . . . I used to be but lately I seem to be a victim of the US Mail when it comes to receiving my invites and none of my friends have email... Don't you think that's odd? America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything... #34. To: no gnu taxes (#3) To determine whether to use whoever or whomever, here is the rule:
Who is used as a subject and whom is used as an object.
"I will be voting for whoever [sic] wins the GOP PRIMARY. PERIOD." Correct: I will be voting for whomever.... (object of the preposition for.)
"If whomever wins that primary doesn't win the nomination, will he be writing in a candidate?" Correct: If whoever wins.... (subject).
#35. To: mininggold (#24) Literally hundreds of thousands of posts unresponded to. I don't even have 100K posts in total anywhere let alone "unresponded to". Anazing how he used his cute little rant to pretend importance... America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything... #36. To: nolu chan (#34) I wasn't going to go through a 5th grade lesson in grammar and useage with him. I was correct...he was wrong...the rest was just comedy... America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything... #37. To: nolu chan (#34) This is the rule. Go to the grammar link and look it up: To determine whether to use whoever or whomever, here is the rule: him + he = whoever him + him = whomever Examples: Give it to whoever/whomever asks for it first. Give it to him. He asks for it first. Therefore, Give it to whoever asks for it first. http://www.grammarbook.com/grammar/whoever.asp --- In the same sense: I will be voting for whoever wins the GOP PRIMARY. I will be voting for him. He wins the GOP Primary. Therefore whoever is correct. The reason for this is while it is an object of a preposition, it is also the subject of a dependent clause. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president #38. To: war (#36) You are too stupid to understand 5th grade grammar as you have demonstrated. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president #39. To: no gnu taxes, nolu chan (#37) This fifth grade stuff is confusing. Regardless I know what it means either way.
#40. To: no gnu taxes (#37) The reason for this is while it is an object of a preposition, it is also the subject of a dependent clause. Back to 4th grade for you, Paddy. America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything... #41. To: A K A Stone (#39) This fifth grade stuff is confusing. You should have stayed in school for another 3 years to find out for sure... America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything... #42. To: war (#40) I've provided you with the grammar link, dumbass. You just pull shit out of your ass like you do everything else. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president #43. To: no gnu taxes (#42) Nolu nailed it... You're choking on it like it was Kobe Bryant... America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything... #44. To: war (#43) I provided him with the grammar link, too. Again, you are thinking one dimensionally, as that is all you are capable of. I know the difference between an object and a subject, idiot.
I didn't write the Rule; I am merely relaying it to you, but you are too dumb to understand it. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president #45. To: war (#0) Some wingnut on another board has this as his tagline: Uhh, dat means they will vote for whomever wins the GOP Primary. AGAINST the Marxist Communituh-in-Chief. You're welcome. "It's not surprising, then, they [White Pennsylvanians] get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." ~ Comrade-in-Chief Barry Hussein 0bama #46. To: no gnu taxes (#44) You can quote every Rule in the book, Paddy...I'm using the correct one. You are not. America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything... #47. To: Get Outta Dodge!, war (#31) I'm as healthy as an ox. They told my dad that and he died the next night in his sleep... LOL War'll live for a long time (or as long as he avoids open car doors while cruising tight NYC streets.) He knocks down his dozen vitamins with Absolute neat.

To: war (#46) You can quote every Rule in the book, Paddy...I'm using the correct one. You have been shown you were wrong and either too much of an asshole to admit it or to dumb to realize it or both. That's ALWAYS your problem. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president #49. To: war, nolu chan (#46) Another link you might can learn from: http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/whomever-whoever.aspx The trouble begins with the fact that “whoever did this” and “whomever I hire” aren’t just ordinary clauses; they’re noun clauses—clauses that act just like nouns. When you use these noun clauses as subjects or objects in larger sentences, the picture gets more complicated. Suppose the noun clause “whoever did this” is part of a sentence like “I want to speak to whoever did this.” Uh-oh, you may think, “whoever” is the object of “to,” and it should be “whomever”! Noun Clauses with “Whoever” and “Whomever” But you’d be wrong—“whoever” was the right choice when we were thinking about the clause “whoever did this” by itself, and it’s still the right choice now. But what about that “to,” in “I want to speak to whoever did this”? The answer is that the object of “to” is not “whoever.” It’s the entire clause “whoever did this.” Remember, this is a noun clause; they call it that because the whole thing acts like a noun, and in this case, the whole thing is the object of “to.” Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president #50. To: no gnu taxes (#48) You have been shown you were wrong and either too much of an asshole to admit it or to dumb to realize it or both. That's ALWAYS your problem. Still waiting for those CRA numbers. Patiently... [snicker] "Whomever" was the correct word choice... America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..."
