Well, if you just analyze the difference between the first word you will realize that one of them is both the same.

consider the pine tree on which pineapples grow. Or chickens that lay eggplants. The language is beautiful. That's why I can say that time flies like an arrow but fruit flies like a banana.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.

How do I put him/her/it on my block list?

You have to be on the full version, so if you're on a mobile scroll it to the bottom and select "switch to full version". Then click on his name, and "ignore user" should be there in the right of the screen under his name/picture. If you have a laptop, you can do it directly.

Done.

Now where were we? Oh yes,
James, where John had had "had," had had "had had." "had had" had had the teacher's approval.

What you said here sparked a random memory! It is a stupid joke back from when I was at school:

What's the difference between a duck?

One of its legs is both the same.

You don't need to try. Some people are just naturally good at it!

(But I am disappointed in the admins for letting him bring down the forum for this long. Can't you guys just make a rule up for eg: "vexatious twattiness" )

Yeah, I was thinking that just like we have a button to give kudos, maybe we could have a button to give thumps on the head. Ten thumps and you're outta heah.
