If you are being a jackass, you are acting like a jackass.

Not you ARE a jackass.

Context is everything.[/quote]

Actually, it exactly means "ARE". I know that conservatives frequently reject science, but this is the first time I've learned that they sometimes reject grammar as well. The poster who wondered if conservatives read may have been on to something.

Context is everything. Without it, words are just words[/quote]

The context here is your inability to understand simple English. Maybe this page will help you:

The irony here is that "being" is the present participle of "be". The word "is" is a "to be" verb. Conservatives have spent years teasing Clinton about questioning the definition of "is". Now, you are doing exactly what Clinton did.

You are being foolish. I don't mean that you are "acting" foolish. I mean that you are actually foolish.

See, that's the thing. One can't BE a fool without ACTING foolish. But one can act foolish without actually being a fool.

Now, again, you can say the black dog isn't black because he has three white hairs, but I prefer to live in a more practical world.

And what's even funnier is you continue to prove the PP's point by having to put an insult in virtually every one of your posts.  Furthermore, you even went as far as to state that nothing insulting was said, aside from the PP's comments when some progressive made a very overtly sexual comment. Were I of Sandra Fluke's progressive feminist ilk, we'd be having a far different discussion, but given I'm a conservative, and therefore, practically minded, I understood that that person's BEHAVIOR was simply disgusting and saw it as a reflection on him/her.

But that comment? Even when pointed out to you, you simply ignore in favor of insulting conservatives.  Ah, the tolerant left  :mrgreen: [/quote]
