Re: Swiss move to ban minarets as 'symbols of Islamic power'

worst' (superlative of 'bad') most wanting in quality or value or condition

The correct word to use in your sentence is "worse", not "worst". If you do not understand this then your grasp of English is worst than I thought.

parting with vacuous comments on syntax and structure only cements how much free time you have on your hand and lack of anything of substance to impart as pertains to the subject matter!

You asked me to comment on it, remember? Don't get upset because I am doing what you asked me to do. It is also an extremely ironic statement coming from someone that just made a lengthy post about this tangent.

You seem to be under the impression that your assessment of my English holds some sort of value?

ah, what i wrote was meant to convey sarcasm, if you don't understand that then you your grasp of abstract thought is worst than I thought ..
irony? Did you not labor in another thread over the use of the word 'irregardless' claiming it doesn't exist and let that spiral for a few pages...

Sorry but this call to your own competence is sophistry and will not in any way give you credibility in a debate.

perhaps you can point the debate? The gentleman here is discussing English as his crowning achievement and the downfall of the opposition. If this has been difficult for you to follow which I suspect it is-- then stay out all together, I don't need you to obtrude yourself in a topic that is of no concern to you!

Glad you got the gist of that since English isn't Gossamer's first language!

but since we are being tangential and love to take stabs on syntax, spelling and grammar as the marrow of this topic, the word you are looking for is forewarned not forwarned!

Get back on topic please everybody. And drop the personal attacks and general pettiness which plagues this section all too often.

Seriously. I haven't issued an infraction in a while...
 
I don't know if it is my computer but your second link about not boycotting their cheese isn't working..

Who eats swiss cheese anyway, it is probably the worst cheese there is..

Belgian chocolate, Swiss chocolate, German chocolate, it's all pathetic in the face of Milka, which isn't available in the UK.

i admit that I haven't read the whole tread but if it will warm your hear I know that there were protests agains the ban. How I know? Well my sister was on one :)
Swiss cities march against minaret ban
Catholic bishops oppose minaret ban
Evangelical Church federation statement

oh...and btw: you all know that what is the legal situation of christians and other religious minorities in Saudi Arabia (much more sever than in Switzerland). Why I never hear about Muslims stand up for them?

Err.. yes... we've already had this discussion, the conclusion of which suggested that Saudi Arabia was a backwards autocracy imposing Wahabi Islam on its residents, whereas Switzerland is a Western democracy where all peoples are free to practise their religion, and (should) lead the world by example.
