I support 'X'
Who here supports 'Y' ?

You're wrong.

I'm a firm believer in 'Y'. It's much more useful and important than 'X' even according to Wikipedia.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y

You really need to do some research and get your facts straight before putting up a post like this.

I can't believe you are going to use Wikipedia to back up your claim.

'Y' can't even make its mind up about becoming a vowel or not.
I mean, Sometimes a vowel? what kind of dedication is that?

And when in takes on a vowel sound, its wither ripping off 'E' or 'I'

'Y' doesn't know what it wants

Y knows it can be anything it needs to be to get the job done. Where's your backup for the alleged power of X? I don't see any supporting data on your side. In this internet world you can't even come up with one link?

Ditch the strawman and get yourself a real basis for your argument.

I don't even see if this can be considered an argument if you are supporting y.

Its unfair for me to try to rationalize with a y supporter, because of their sloping foreheads and much lower IQ.

Let me ask you this? Where do we most commonly find x?

Thats right, on a pirate map. A Treasure map.
If Y is so great, why isn't he on a treasure map?

Name me ONE treasure map that Y is on.
Just one!

You cant do it, because y would never be on a treasure map.

In fact, the only time y is used in conjunction with Pirates at all, is in the pornographic film Pyrates.
X was never in a pornographic film.

Where do we most commonly find y?
In that stupid Mickey Mouse song.
'Y'? because we love you.
Hardy har har.
Its not even used in the correct context. They have to pretend that y is the word 'why' just because they feel sorry for y, and its entertaining to four year olds.

X was never in a pornographic film.

What?? What's the rating on a porno? XXX!!!!

X is all over porn!

And yet 'Y' is used for what exactly....oh yes! Youth rated!

Here's let me set your plate with some more statistical backup in lieu of your imagined "fax"...I mean "facts"...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_Parental_Guidelines#TV-Y

So, I don't see how you can stand behind the vileness of 'X' and its sordid, immoral classless existence, and ignore the positive effects that 'Y' has had on our youth.

Rod, Thank you.

You just proved my point.

X is the WARNING on porno.

As in STAY AWAY.

Y sounds like some sort of pedophile, trying to get the attention of all the youths, by luring them into a false sense of security with its own classifications.

Not enough of a warning for you, sir, if you're stepping in that sort of Freudian pile....

RoB

Well, I'm sure this pages long quote of GKC will convince you all that you are wrong. I believe you are wrong, but I believe this quote proves it better than I could, so I'd rather you have your arguments with it.

My apologies Rob.
D is directly above X on the keyboard, so perhaps is was a slip.

Although, I dont know who it was who put x down with the lower class letters.
Its my belief that Y himself, switched spots on the keyboard, just to make himself look like a more important letter, while x, didn't bother complaining.
X stays don with the outcast letters like z and v, because thats who x is for; x is for the lower class, as well as the higher class.
x is the every man letter

No doubt you'll come back later and explain to me how its all those 'Y' guys who don't accept, who don't believe, that came along and persecuted poor 'X', banishing it to the lower reaches of the keyboard.

Is there any way we can push some of this into the Close thread? This is the Tank, and frankly I'm sick of the way we keep pushing religious overtones into this political discussion. Keep it to the Consonants and the Vowels and stop dragging Dr Seuss into this.

Rob, come back tomorrow when you have something important to add. you're obviously getting tired.

you are all nazis.

x is not a nazi.

Yeah. Leave 'Z' out of this.

Only liberals and communists like x.

the word is progressive...

I don't see how you can even group liberal and communists together, let alone group either one of them with x.

you're just being ignorant now.

why do you have to make it person - because you can't argue the facts?

I'm not the one making it personal.

I'm being attacked for my support of x. I'm being called both a communist and a Nazi...What next??? A 'W' supporter?

I certainly don't expect everyone here to agree with me,
But if somebody wants to be correct; then they SHOULD agree with me.

All I did was make a simple statement that I support X. And I started getting attacked.

I'm surprised no one has yet to state that x should be criminalized!!!

What will it take for everyone to know that I am right, even though I don't expect people to agree with me, but I will criticize anyone who doesn't agree with me, but I will say that I respect your decision to not agree with me.
