Formatting was ugly so deleted and revised post.

I just want you to type out "alcohol is harmless" because then maybe you'll realize the absurdity of what you're implying. If you want to maintain that alcohol is harmless despite mountains of evidence to the contrary then clearly you are beyond reasoning, let alone the fact that you aren't competent enough to remember your own assertions.

To bring it home and make the point I've been working towards, you have absolutely no logical reason to justify the use of alcohol and caffeine over the use of marijuana. You are deluding yourself if you think you are anything but a slave to your preconceptions and you clearly don't want to (or don't have the ability to) think critically about this.

Keep in mind, I do not smoke weed or ever want to smoke weed. If I'm presented a logical argument against weed I'll be the first one to denounce it, but it's clear now that you aren't capable of that. Have a nice night.

Your explanation makes no sense. Historically it was overwhelmingly the case that physically weak men were leaders who dictated the fates and doings of groups, of stronger others whose role it was to enforce social law.

I look forward to your next prevarication.

How far is hippolite on the autism spectrum? If this was written in the 21th century, he would be a sonic sperglord

enhance this incomplete sentence:

a copacetic placement of words: a play-on-words, double entendres, innuendos allusions, etc.

He literally added that in to satisfy a word quota by his publisher. Didn't the likes of Dickinson get paid by the word?

Lists in which the material needs commas? Like listing cities? (Sacramento, CA; Tallahassee, FL; Houston, TX; etc...)

That's pretty much the best explanation I've ever received for its intended use.

Thou shalt be rectified.

"The 2016 US Election is proof of how an American inside joke convinced millions of people into believing that even a massive hypocrite may run, and become the leader of the most powerful nation in the world."

Protip: Use "may" in place of "can" for more formal speech.

I've always wanted to get into using typewriters.

Are you familiar with fountain pens? If so, does the typewriting world have an equivalent to the Lamy Safari? If you're not familiar with either of which, it's basically the entry-level pen that almost everyone has who collects FPs.

Don't judge a book by its cover.
