Winter

[FL Knifemaker]

It's the same question because there is only one answer which linear provided, all you added to the thread was a misinterpretation of what I stated, at no point did I state that it was "winter all the time". Hence my retort on the fact you can't bloody read... this is getting pathetic now...

Bloody?? Ahhhhhhhhh now I understand.

Bloody?? Ahhhhhhhhh now I understand.

WOWz0rz! You've got a real hunger for attention haven't you pablo?

*pats head*

I'll quote it for you, just so we(read:you) can brush up on our (read:your) literacy and reading comprehension:

Right can someone settle an argument for me that me and my dad are having...

Does everywhere in the world have winter at the same time or does one half of the world have summer and the other winter?

Now, since we (again, this means you) have established that the meaning of the term "colloquialism" is known to all present, surely you cannot be taking a pot shot (which, incidentally, is another colloquialism) at me for not quoting the question verbatim, and instead employing a slightly more vague method of phraseology most often found in spoken conversation?

 

[Deluge Of Sound]

You're asking a question about where winter occurs and you question MY intellect??

Also, this is getting sig'd.

 

[FL Knifemaker]

Also, this is getting sig'd.

Thank you, thank you very much!

She's certainly got her priorities!

My sister has just been bought a pomeranian, at first i thought I would hate it but the little bugger has grown on me

They will.

Of course I can, this is due to the fact that your misrepresentation of the literal/factual meaning of my original question would lead the conversation to an irrelevant conclusion.

If every tom, dick and harry followed your demented train of thought, then it would be extremely hard to reach a relevant agreed point... as your incorrect deployment phraseology (unless you can explain to me how you came to conclude that the literal meaning of my OP was my father believed/implied it was winter all the time?) just leads to confusion as people are then conversing with incorrect information.

A) I didn't state which theory I or my father stated
B) I didn't state at any point that either of us believed it was winter all the time.

Of course I understand that this was just a poor attempt at humour... however your attempt at validating it intellectually... even hypothetically... is really quite foul. It's almost tantamount to bullying, if your purpose is to try and highlight the fact that intellectually i'm not even able to argue against such a weak point such as yours?

I'm sorry but all you've done is stupefy the thread matey and if it was already below your intellectual bar, why enter the fray in the first place?

Also, this is getting sig'd.

Niiiice.

Again the question wasn't where winter occurs but when (I used Italy and Australia as examples), nice use of phraseology guys, really makes a 16 yo kid want to grow up to be a sarcastic, unhelpful, ass who corrupts information for their own lame ends... just like j00 gaiz.

WOOOO!

Thanks again to everyone who provided useful and accurate information, to everyone else, good luck with the internet... you're gonna need it boiz.

Someone get the popcorn. This is going to get interesting.

 

[KingOvHell]

So which one of you guys is the moron that doesnt know this?

 

[Deluge Of Sound]

Ok, I'll rephrase my original post:

"Am I the only who who thought 'man, I hope it isn't the father who thinks winter happens at the same time everywhere?' " Yes, there was a typo in my first post, and I didn't catch it.

Now, the real litmus test: other TB'ers understood my post. Did they understand yours?

 

[FL Knifemaker]

Niiiice.

I simply stated that you're sentence structure caught my eye. Your knickers got all in a twist after that. I appreciate the well wishes though

That's fair enough, I didn't take it as a typo so that's my bad

Not a problem, I quite enjoy anonymous internet exchanges, especially when they get heated.

I don't understand you kids today.

If this thread is any indication of how my school taxes are being used on today's youth, I would like a refund.

Unfortunately he doesn't list a location but I would bet he's not a burden on OUR taxes.

According to the animation, there's very little snowfall during the southern hemisphere winter? (other than Antarctica . . . )

Antarctica gets little to no precipitation at all. Technically, it's the world's largest desert.

B) I didn't state at any point that either of us believed it was winter all the time.

By saying you had an argument, it implies you were of different opinions, thus you did. Argumentation would not be argumentation if all parties are of the same opinion

If you want respect, you have to give some... off the cuff remarks by people who spend ridiculous amounts of time on the internet, don't earn it... well not from me anyway.

For instance I respect what Deluge Of Sound just did and I was able to meet him half way, however I just see FL Knifemaker as someone who is so involved with internet culture that he seemingly feels the need to elevate himself anyway he can, even if it's belittling me because I asked a 'stupid' question in a 'poor' manner, even though I got very good replies off the first 5 posts, with the information I wanted?!

I'm of the mentality that if I don't ask i'll never know, it just aggravates me that I came with an empty cup so to speak... humbly and I got ridiculed. That's why kids resent adults like FL Knifemaker and i'm pretty sure any kid of any era would too.... and we generally respect people like linear who make an effort to explain.

Perhaps I was overtly defensive... meh.

Don't feel like you are the only one that takes some ribbing if you post something dumb. It happens to me all the time and you just have to roll with the punches. I have a tendency to post a lot of conservative stuff and get ribbed for it all the time. It goes with the territory and it's really all in good fun. Right?
