- Does nicotine count as a recreational drug?
Of course. Just use the word "except", though--the intelligent folk will understand.

- Seen Up.
You should get on that.

Really, we shouldn't even be using gas at all anymore, which is why I'm excited that we've been taking big steps towards alternatives.

you've never done drugs, but you have done them.
See, even if I said THAT, there's STILL nothing wrong with it, because you used the word "but". That's what it's for.

It sounds like it doesn't make sense, but it actually does. Welcome to English grammar.

It contradicts itself. You're saying you haven't, but then saying you have immediately after.
It would only be a contradiction if the word "except" wasn't present.


okay i'm done

They're the same exact sentence.

Except one was made a tiny bit more specific.

OH NO I SAID "EXACT" AND THEN "EXCEPT"
LOL THAT MAKES NO SENSE, BRAIN CANNOT COMPREHEND

This makes sense though.
Never > except doesn't.
Yes, it does.

Because it's the exact same fucking phrase. It's just made a little bit less vague.

But I'm saying it's not cheap enough, and capitalism isn't doing jack fucking shit to make it any better than any other system could.

Here's a revision to appease the retarded shitheads who don't understand basic grammar:

Never have I ever used any drugs recreationally on more than one occasion.

Never have I ever shitposted on a forum, except that time I shitposted on a forum.
Makes sense.
"I've never used drugs"
"I've used drugs"

One of these is not like the other.
You know what they both have in common, though?
They both don't have the word "except".

Which changes everything.

You are.
Nope. Saying "except" doesn't negate the act. It's making an... exception. Do you know what that is?

I'm going to start making never->except phrases all the time now. I'll make sure to quote you ever single time.

Except you've done drugs.
Yes. And?

Using the word "never" and "except" in the same sentence is a contradiction.
No it isn't.

Quote
Never = haven't ever done it - using "except" doesn't negate the fact that you're a murderer
And? Nobody's trying to negate the fact that he's a murderer. Nobody.

You don't anymore. "Never" doesn't apply here anymore.
Not if I use the word "except" or "besides". Because that's what they're for.

you're probably just butthurt over the fact that i got your thread locked

No you can't.
I just did.

And it makes perfect sense.

Ignoring the eleven million people that died in the Holocaust, no one else died.

You can't change the fact that you're a murder by using the word "except" to make it sound okay
Who says it's to make it sound okay?

It's the exception to the fact that you don't eat carrots, because you wanted to try it to see if you were missing out.
Which is what I did with alcohol. You stupid fuck.

« on: June 12, 2015, 05:20:39 PM »
You can say that nobody ever died in the Holocaust, except for eleven million people.

You can say that. It sounds silly, but it's grammatically correct, and it's precisely what the word "except" is for.

36924

I meant "you can't say".
Of course you did.

Which you've conveniently cut out because it proves you wrong.
LOL no it doesn't. You can use the word except. That's what it's for.

You can't say "I'm not a murderer, except for this one time I murdered a guy".
Of course you can.
Except you're literally a murderer by definition
And? That doesn't mean you can't say that you're not, EXCEPT for one time. This is basic shit.

Why have the word "except" if you can't ever use it?

You can say " I'm not a gardener, except for this one time I had a garden".
What? That's retarded. Who the fuck talks like that? Nobody.

Of course you can.
No you can't.
Yes, you can.

"I've never done drugs except for this one time."

No one but a pedantic cunt would take issue with that.

never have i ever done any drugs for any recreational purpose

besides caffeine, which i'm done with, and alcohol, once
Well you can't say it if you've been drunk.
yes i can

that's the whole point of the word "except"/"besides"

because i've never smoked
weed, nicotine, nothing
But you've done drugs recreationally.
that's the whole point of the word "except"/"besides"

Do you know how to read?
