Lol. I think that you meant to take a different word away. But let's run with your error and look at how you'd attempt to edit the sentence in offering your 'rebuttal':

MISDEMEANOR. Offence; ill behavior; something less than an atrocious crime...


Removing the word, atrocious: MISDEMEANOR. Offence; ill behavior; something less than a(n) crime...

So, still no requirement to be a crime.

Hey, thanks for playing, anyway. It was fun. ; )

ummm...huh? so we both agree that a misdemeanor is a crime...ok...you can go back to huffing paint (apparently)

Given your inability to demonstrate that a misdemeanor must be a ‘crime’ - and my references clearly stating that a misdemeanor does not need to be a ‘crime’ - it looks like what we are agreeing upon is that you’re suffering from an inability to understand the language. : D

I have often noticed that about subby.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

I've recently come to the conclusion that it's the kind and considerate thing to do to assume someone is flat out wrong.

That's nicer than accusing them of bullshitting.

Remember that time Donald Trump told Wolf Bitzer that he greatly admired Nancy Pelosi and that he believed she should have been harder on Bush by impeaching him because.... "he lied"? Ya. He actually said that.

Seems like yesterday...

The odds any Trumpists click on that and watch the entire few dozen seconds is approaching, statistically, zero. The few who do won’t care because they know their brand of politics isn’t about responsibility and accountability, but rather Machiavellian bottom lines.
