Faith doesn't really go too far in maintaining a free society. You have to have legal rights to fall back on.
- jemmons 17y agoHow to loose your argument before you've made it: Make up Mad Magazine-esque nicknames for the subject of your argument that you (but no one else) find clever and at least semi-derogatory. See also: M$, winblows, iSheep
- yalurker 17y agoI agree that derogatory nicknames automatically lower the respectability of an argument. However, writing "loose" when meaning "lose" hurts credibility even more in my eyes. (I know this type of pedantic behavior isn't ideal, and I've never made a grammar-nazi posting before, but I've seen multiple usages of "loose" and "loosing" on HN lately).
