Jason = "MIAMI IS NOT A CITY"

[mikdavi84]

But you still can't give upper or lower bounds to "large" or the context in which it applies.

So, again, we're back to anywhere calling themselves a city for any reason, which makes that angle of argument meaningless.

Ok, riddle me this: Houston has a larger area and a bigger population than Boston. Ergo Boston is not a city. But since you've already established that Boston is indeed a city, those stipulations also apply to Houston.

Looks like Houston is a city, bro. Unless you got something else up your sleeve.

i'm sure more arbitrary arguing is to follow

In a totally unsurprising turn of events, it looks like you still haven't read any of that 50 page thread.

I've got a case study to go read. I suggest you do similarly.

So what are the established upper and lower limits on land area for a city?

It is easily defined by the police departments who service the area. And it changes. See: jurisdiction.

 

[Jason]

You're just being a faggot at this point, refusing to accept anyone's definition of a word but your own. It's just fucking retarded.

Yup, I'm literally balls deep in a man's ass right now.

Depends on your definition of faggot, I guess...

He'd actually have to make an argument first. He's real good at pontificating his opinions until asked to support them.

Again, read the thread. It's all there, and it has been for over 6 months.

 

[Jason]

Case and point. Semantic argument about everything. All the time.

Case in point.

 

[ballistic]

Case in point.

That was as predictable as sunrise

Your opinion is all over that thread. Nothing else. You have nothing backing your shit up but your own stubbornness.

 

[TheProwler]

And trying to claim that minor variations in wording from multiple dictionaries are significant differences, and I'M the one flailing?

Admit you're wrong, dude. It'll be fun, and its good for you. We'll get through this together.

It's a lot easier to walk away and ignore it.

I know. I've got my own brand of Aspergy stubbornness, just like he does

I've gradually worked it out of my system. I argued a ton on AOL and early OT. Now I don't bother. Browsing a lot of Reddit helps, because all of the back-and-forth posts get hidden away most of the time.

 

[peakhead]

i don't get what is the Jason's endgame? is he trolling? or is he legit an insufferable faggot?

Yeah I've mostly moved over to Reddit myself, but its kind getting to be a hugbox. Can't really have good discussions since if someone doesn't like your opinion they just downvote you.

The only thing I can think of is that he really, really hates being wrong. I think anyone trolling would either get bored or at least play along and TRY to troll.

Yeah, it's not good for back-and-forth conversations or community, but the crowd-curated content is a big perk for me.

Here on OT, we know people. I haven't been around in years, but Ruiner posts that oceanxblake dies, and I know who those guys are, a lot of what they've been through, and it means something to me. I can tell him that I'm sorry for his loss, and he knows we all mean it. But then you have one asshole who makes a stupid comment, and you have to scroll past everyone yelling at him, instead of just a downvote system to bury that kind of comment.

 

[imnotryan]

I think he just said philly isn't a real city either

I see you still haven't read any of that thread. There's plenty of data and sources somewhere in the middle of it.

How 'bout you just give me the highlights.

How bout you do your own homework.

[Mrfrosty]

So Jason spent all weekend arguing again...

 

[mikdavi84]

How bout you do your own homework.

I know you're referring to your cute little population density chart. Its ok to post it. You do realize the problem with it, right?
