As things are going yguy will need a bigger bridge to move in pretty soon. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by yguy \* > **And I should have presumed he meant “comparable” rather than “equal” or “equivalent” because…?** Oh, I don’t know…context? Y’see, I’d call “incest” and “having sex with a relative” equivalent because they’re the same fucking thing. Homosexuality and necrophilia are quite obviously _not_ the same thing, unless you go about it in the completely wrong way. Thus, you equated homosexuality to necrophilia using some fucked-up value system, which, I am convinced, makes excellent sense to your drug-addled mind, but failed completely to address the question of why any reasonable person should make the same connection. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by yguy \* > \*\*Evidently I’m missing something. Care to share? \*\* You’re missing a lot of things I can’t give you, but I’ll fill you in on this one. “Equate” is not necessarily synonymous with “equals.” When you equate two things, you are in effect saying, “These two different objects, which may be dissimilar in many ways, are still similar in the following respects.” When you say, “1 and 2 are both positive integers,” you are equating them by pointing out features they have in common. If I say, “Saddam Hussein and Mother Theresa are both carbon based life-forms,” I am equating the Mother Theresa and Saddam Hussein. I’m not saying they’re identical, I’m merely pointing out what few points they have in common. ---

heh I love this thread. It’s like watching Ying and Yang in action. Stoneburg and yguy. One is chaos, obstruction, ignorance, and hiding. One is Order, clairty, intelligence and being upfront. ---

Has anybody pinned down whether **yguy** is animal, vegetable or mineral yet? I’m guessing vegetable. [sub]Somehow it seems more substantive than the guessing game he’s running now.[/sub] ---

**TVeblen** , I think he’s been [nailed](http://www.winternet.com/~mikelr/flame60.html) down for exactly what he is already. ---

Instead, he seems to want to play semantic games…in other words, he wants to be a jerk. I think that he’s had enough chances, and enough warnings, that it’s clear that he has no intention of giving anyone a straight answer.
