I, for one, blah-blah-blah. How could the first person subjective singular pronoun refer to any more than one?

It is better to die on your feet than to live a lifetime on your knees. That is, unless you choose live a lifetime on your feet.

It would suck to die on your knees.

There's 2 types of people in the world... those who say "there are 2 types of people in the world" and those who actually say something profound.

This answer only seems like it sucks. It's really just fallacious.

This new sieve invention of yours looks promising, but will it hold water?

According to your country, doctors from my country suffer from not being doctors from your country.

Underachieving metaphors and other mangled sayings are like half of one, six dozen of the other.

Paragon Avenger · « **Reply #33 on:** April 20, 2016, 04:31:30 AM »

It is what it is.

One of these days... death is gonna kill me.

Paragon Avenger · « **Reply #35 on:** May 13, 2016, 10:33:57 PM »

Well there's an hour I never get back.
(How would they get that hour back by doing something else?)
{besides time travel}

"That's funny as hell"
(Yeah fire, brimstone and demon torment are hilarious,

.)

Paragon Avenger · « **Reply #37 on:** May 23, 2016, 03:06:55 AM »

That's so unfunny, it's laughable.

If you think that I'm going to post here, you got another thing coming.

(That's totally wrong. It should be, "If you believe that I would post something here then perhaps you should reconsider.")

Paragon Avenger · « **Reply #39 on:** May 29, 2016, 09:43:27 PM »

Killed by Death
Killed by Death
Killed by Death

(Sorry Lemmy, it should be 'Killed to death', and it still doesn't say anything.)
