Hmm... this party intrigues me. I think the Badass Party would be willing to join the Conservative Party, as long as you provide me with a fitting position. What do you say, Bleys?

ARGUMENT FROM GUITAR MASTERY
(1) Eric Clapton is God.
(2) Therefore, God exists.
Speaking of grammar, Doom, why is it that you often spell the word "I" as "i"?
That's not an issue of spelling.
The short answer is because I'm lazy. The medium-length answer is because I tend to use my level of adherence to grammatical rules as an indicator of how serious I am - when I'm goofing around, the i's come out.
If DocFrance is worthy, you won't live to hear the end of the long answer.
It is my humble opinion that you are unqualified for a position to dictate proper grammar, loser.
Objection noted and ignored.
Well, Conservatism is definitely Badass, it would seem to be a fitting merger. How about the Ministry of Kicking And Taking Names?Originally posted by DocFrance

Well, considering that I was the only member of the Badass Party, I wouldn't be too heart-broken to have it be a hostile takeover.
Also, could there be an addendum to the platform about running spears through people who use over ten smilies in each post?

You can say "Badass", but not the word that is like "Arse." Odd, eh?
Just to clarify to everyone regarding the pre-mentioned grammar issue - we were both right. It seems different writers in America use different grammar, depending on the magazine/book/etc. that they're writing for. For more details, please see This LJ entry, although be warned, some of the language may be found as offensive. So you can feel free to use it however you wish. I choose logic rather than George W. Bush's incompetency to change something that does, indeed, need changing... it seems.
However.
Should you keep the comma out of the quotation marks, should you not also keep the period out of the quotation marks?You can say "Badass", but not the word that is like "Arse." Odd, eh?
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
I'm not in this party, so feel free to tell me off if you want Bleys, I'll just ignore it.
But the grammer thing - I write quotes as they would be written down/were written originally. Thus, quotation marks include periods if they're at the end of a sentence, but not if it is a stand-alone word. I never finish quotes with commas, if there should be one I omit it.
However, I see nothing illogical with American spelling or grammer. Seems perfectly logical to me to make things easier for oneself. As for spelling, well don't get me started - most words which have an 's' in England that gets changed to a 'z' in American have a 'z' sound, not an 's'. The word is pronounced 'co-lor', not 'co-lowr'. Logica can't be argued, because the US have the most logical form of English there is. Furthermore, it is a fallicy to say it has been distorted from 'real' English. American English is far closer to Shakespearean English than tradition, English English.
Besides which in a few years the point will be moot. The rate of globalisation and the greatly increased level of global communication (Such as the internet.) will lead to a globally accepted version of English. And all that will be left will be a horde of xenophobic, arrogant, neo-Nazi people who can't accept that the world is changing.
Yeah, anyways, I'm going to leave you to your nazorism now.
