Summations Only

Yes but I do not understand arties point. Maybe I am dense? Is he saying there are no poisonous snakes in the woods? Or is there some subtlety I am missing?

Technically, snakes are venemous, not poisonous. Poison is ingested while venom is injected.I said that if enough people call a bison a buffalo, then its a buffalo. He responded that I probably call snakes poisonous too (suggesting another technically incorrect word usage I might have).The word "poison" has a broader meaning outside of biology though, i.e. "a substance that hurts you", so it depends on just how pedantic you want to be about it. Venom could be considered a type of poison.

In other words he is trying to show us we are idiots and he is some sort of genius. Whatever.Move along people, nothing to see here.

its pretty simple, i meant exactly what I stated, if you cant understand the english language in text then there is nothing more that I can tell you.

Well at least there is one person who understands. yes, Catholic Scientist understood what I was saying 100%.+1 for two conservatives arguing vernacular names of things
+0 for libtards reading and trying to understand simple concepts in the english language.what a bunch of ignorant people there are on here.

As Dr Adequate pointed out you are wrong on the pedantic point also.

There are, however, two exceptions: Rhabdophis sequesters toxins from the toads it eats, then secretes them from nuchal glands to ward off predators, and a small population of garter snakes in Oregon retains enough toxin in their liver from the newts they eat to be effectively poisonous to small local predators (such as crows and foxes).

.....ummmmm, no.we talk about all this yesterday. try and keep up ok? I know its hard for you.Dr. adequate was not pointing how how my statement was wrong.Is English your second language or something (I would accept Frako in this circumstance)?you are trying so hard to grab straws because you want me to be wrong so bad, and you come off as EXTREMELY SAD.

Haha, I was just being trollish, seeing how the discussion of this thread has taken a turn to... actually I don't even know what the hell you guys are talking about anymore. Continue on.

I think we should wrap this topic up now.Adminnemooseus

I think the topic wrapped itself up two weeks ago. This was not one of our more informative threads.I think my forum signature summarizes it pretty well:

Summary: Southern baptists handle scary poisonous snakes, or something. In other news, people act like jerks on the internet.

Summation: This new feature is annoying.

Summation: a bunch of liberal try-hards trying to prove me wrong on anything i state.here is my CHRISTmas gift to all you try-hards out there. The sky is green.Merry Christmas try-hards its been a fun year here, as always.
