Post #220,264 by CRConrad 8/20/05 9:07:49 PM Reply	I can parse that for you: "Shoot to kill is fine, in the USA" == "Shoot-to-kill is considered a fine policy, in the USA" == It's in the USA that the considering is done. So, "Shoot-to-kill Iraqis in Iraq is, in the USA, considered a fine policy" == "Shoot-to-kill Iraqis in Iraq is considered a fine policy, in the USA" == "Shoot to kill is fine, in the USA". So Peter's original unedited sentence CAN very fucking well be read as applying to shooting Iraqis in Iraq. FYI, FWIW, QED, HTH, and all that. (No YMMV, though. 'Coz if it did, it'd be wrong.)

Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575\|Ashton Brown]

You see, the double-equals in your equation are badly misplaced. jb4 shrub●bish (Am., from shrub* + rubbish, after the derisive name for America's 43 president; 2003) n. 1. a form of nonsensical political doubletalk wherein the speaker attempts to defend the indefensible by lying, obfuscation, or otherwise misstating the facts; GIBBERISH. 2. any of a collection of utterances from America's putative 43rd president. cf.* BULLSHIT

Post #220,401 by jb4 8/22/05 9:30:40 AM Reply	And all this time, I was amazed at your mastery... ...of what was for you a foreign language. I see now that my admiration was somewhat misplaced. FYI, the word "fine" does not mean "is considered a fine policy", at least in English (and to the best of my limited experience, not in German either; I don't know Finnish, so YMMV.) jb4 shrub●bish (Am., from shrub* + rubbish, after the derisive name for America's 43 president; 2003) n. 1. a form of nonsensical political doubletalk wherein the speaker attempts to defend the indefensible by lying, obfuscation, or otherwise misstating the facts; GIBBERISH. 2. any of a collection of utterances from America's putative 43rd president. cf.* BULLSHIT
Post #220,407 by CRConrad 8/22/05 10:20:57 AM Reply	The question wasn't about the WORD, "fine"... ...but the PHRASE, "is fine". Here are some varations on it: - "Whaddayamean, Grelzakianism 'is fine'?" - "Well, Grelzakianism is fine with me!" - "Grelzakianism might 'be fine' where you live... But not here." - "What, is Grelzakianism not fine in Finland?!?" - "That's funny; Grelzakianism is perfectly fine in the USA." So, you're saying the prase "is fine" in this fictional conversation is NOT about how "Grelzakianism" (whatever the fuck that may be; say, a policy) is regarded?!? And here I had been reasonably... Well, let's say, satisfied -- with your grasp of English. But now I see that my impression may have been somewhat exaggerated. [link\|mailto:MyUserId@MyISP.CountryCode\|Christian R.
