You told me to look up the definition of war. I did. Now you're saying that definition is wrong.
It is not wrong, it is just not full. Answer the question I ask you in the above post about abstracting situation.
You: "You may want to open dictionary and check what war is."
Me: Okay, here's the definition.
You: That's not the full definition.
Then why did you tell me to look it up? Or at least not tell me which dictionary to look it up in that would agree with you?
Did you even check what the dictionary definition was before you told me to look it up?
You are not answering my question. Are you trying to discuss dictionaries instead? You are avoiding topic. I probably should have said encyclopedia , but you will face the same problem when you see “intensity of conflict” etc. So, let’s not talk about dictionaries but about the meaning of the word as most people would understand in this situation. This is why abstracted for you to see my point. Can you answer my question?
You told me to look it up in a dictionary. I did what you told me to and you dismissed it. I have no reason to answer your question when you won't even accept something I did that you told me to do.
He's a fascist troll
Just want to point that out :)
Could be considering I did what they asked and that apparently didn't matter.
