Why would I contest that he's over 18? You're trying to make the argument about something completely different - because you know I'm right.

But you're not right, which is the only reason I'm even bothering to argue this point. Whether you like it or not, Donald Trump is an adult. Google the word "adult" and see what it actually means. It's a very different definition to "mature".

You're saying adults can never act childish, because they are older than children?

No, I'm saying that if an adult acts like a child, he is still an adult. If a dog goes meow, is it a cat? No, it's a fucking dog.

You're absolutely right that a literal interpretation of what I said did not match what I meant. Good job on picking that up.

If a dog goes meow and starts trying to fuck cats, and you say 'he has a long way to go to becoming a dog', you're not actually disputing whether or not he's really a dog. You're saying he's not acting like a dog.

You see, in language sometimes people use single words like 'adult' to stand in for 'act like an adult', since they assume other people have the sense to figure out the true meaning from the context.

It's like if I called you a window-licking retard for making a big deal out of how I used the word 'adult' there. It wouldn't mean I actually think you lick windows and have an IQ below seventy since you clearly don't, it would be a way of expressing what I think of your behavior.

At this point I'd just like to remind you of the title of this thread.

I don't think you can tell yet when I'm being serious and when I'm not. This is pure pedantry on my part. I'm not making a big deal of it, I'm being a dick, and you're making a big deal of it by not just saying "yes ong, you're technically right, well done, now shut up".

The thing that makes my responses to your being a dick so clever is that by acting like i was taking your bullshit seriously, I made you think I actually believed you were really dumb enough to believe the crap you were saying.

Live and learn, grasshopper. Live and learn.
