She's IT run away from her! *silliness*
...Alright - I'm back to normal, though you can shoot me now to prevent that from happening again, should you feel like it.

The mermaid and her crazy language have confuzzled me again. Drat you!
Pre-post edit: Thank you Wikipedia. My opinion of that word has greatly worsened when used in relation to myself. That, or I have been confused with Hearse.

@Nikki: It's nice that you want to know the language. It's a hard one, so we always like it when people know even a few words. I just hope that your cd will teach you something other than swear-words.
@Kov: But no, didn't you read the whole wiki article on the word? She probably meant it as "pal", "dude" or "man". Usually people think it's cool to say a swear-word in your weird-ass language because it's the only one they know, but most of the times it comes off as crude, even if the word has multiple meanings like in this case. Context is everything, after all.

AWARE! BEWARE! WAR!
You want to know what's selfish and inconsiderate? Being a total freaking jackass to somebody you don't even know and thinking you have the right to be rude to anybody you don't like just because it's the internet.
I feel sorry for people like you. I really do. Learn some manners.
AFAIK Manners also include accepting one's apologies. I apologized to you and you still go about calling me a total freaking jackass?

I'm pretty sure I'm the total freaking jackass. And the cunt. It's been a busy week.
Can I please ask you something?
Note that what follows is not in the spirit of trying to start a fight or to belittle your opinions - just an attempt at discussion on the matter.
Personally, I do share your worries about the environment, and personally I would not buy a large truck, as I have stated in the past. I also am, in a professional capacity, a supporter of John Roemer's take about letting China and India pollute for a while so that they can get decent living conditions for their people, and try to counterbalance the effect of this necessary evil by using whatever technology we have in order to reduce our own emissions (although I do not believe that we should renounce growth, for a number of reasons that I am willing to debate if you want).
I have nothing to say against overtaxing large cars, as I said before: actually, fairly standard economic theory also points out to the optimality of some disincentives. However, I would stop at tax rates that are blatantly undemocratic, ie they just reflect the desires of 10 per cent of the population, no matter how wise.
But my question is: why do you have to call someone selfish and inconsiderate just because he has different preferences? It's a bit like calling someone bad because they are gay. The attitude is the same: deviate from a given concept of the common good, you're evil. I cannot condone that, except in extreme cases (I think we all agree that pedophilia is an unacceptable threat to the common good, but it is very hard to see whether we do have this right when it comes to our conceptions of the environment, or of the ideal model of family).

Hyena: Thanks, I was trying to think of a way to say the exact same thing, but everything I came up with came across as nasty.
Siren: Ah, yeah, I read about the first two sentences. Perhaps a little too limited. Remind me to ask my bro this weekend if he's learning classical or modern Greek in school. I've never heard him speak it, so I'm assuming the former. A little story for you, though, that you might find amusing in light of CiS' mastery of your alphabet.
A bunch of my friends and I had the same teacher for our first year math teacher, but most of them were in the more advanced class. The guy was great - huge, hairy, spoke in a very funny Greek accent in a truly booming voice. He'd constantly make jokes when people didn't understand things, like "Hah, I would say that 'this is all Greek to me', but then I would still understand it!" Yeah, so anyway, my roommate was trying to answer a question on the board once, and was pretty sure he had it right. So he launches into his explanation about how "Well, if you take 'a', and you take the...", and you just hear this "Alpha" grumbled from the front. My roommate looks up, questioningly, and the teacher points out that the equation is "written with alpha, not a." So my roommate corrects himself, and keeps going. In the next sentence, he again says 'a', and the teacher stands up and roars, "It is alpha! Not 'a'! They are not the same! Why will you all not stop bastardizing my language!" And then sits back down. In reading back through this, it was funnier to be there. But I just imagined a similar response to CiS's alphabet song up there, so I laughed.
