I was incedibly disappointed. All this talk about the Great Orator & all we get was Jimmy Carter with a hard-on? It was full of cliches & bashing with no excitement or charm. A memorable night with a forgettable scrpit.

Not so. The Founders rejected democracy as viable form of government with Ben Franklin speaking of it as "Two wolves and a sheep voting on what is for dinner". Democracy has best been described as "mob rule".
So is "homosexual".
So?
Quite a bit moire than you apparently would think.

I think you were disapointed that it was such a great speech. Sorry man, you'll have to find some other straws to grasp at.

Certainly something you want to spread by force.

Wrong. You apparently didn't go to school at all.
The "homo" in the word "homosexual" is from the Greek meaning "same".
"The "homo" from the Latin means "man".

excuse me jim, i meant "homosexual" not just "homo." or maybe i didn't. because it's really fun to watch you scramble to look up one word and provide a context-free definition.
homo is borrowed from greek. in greek it's actually borrowed, too, and if you want to start getting really anal, which i'm sure you do, i'm sure you can trace the root of the word back to some kinda proto indo european thing. i'd bet my leftie on it.
the full "homosexual" is almost certainly an invention of the modern era and uses "homo" because of a history of the use of that word in latin as applied to stuff sciencey such as "homo erectus," which i suppose may interest you for personal reasons.
you're technically correct in a very narrow, petty way. but not at all on the ball in the bigger picture. seems like a pattern, huh?

Hey, you brought this up, not me.
You misstated the origin, not me.
You were the one who suggested that anyone who did not know such simple liguistics should return to school. You should get your mom to sytart packing your bags.
"homo-" is the prefix of the root "sexual". That prefix is of Greek origin, not Latin as you stated. You were wrong and couldn't accept it. That says far more about you than it ever could of me.
I showed you to be wrong and you do a Spike on me. Is it impossible for you to simply admit that you were wrong? Instead you start weaseling around with words like "homo erectus" which, by the way, IS of Latin origin -- homo meaning "man" -- literally "erect man". Standing erect for your edification.
And that part about "context free"? You need to remember that there are others watching these exchanges who are not registered and they are laughing at your weaseling.

Sorry Jimbo, a "spike" would be making a clear point with evidence...which minkey does do often.
But I think you were looking for the term "Peel" which mean runing away when proven wrong or just lashing out with insults instead of substance.
For example when proven wrong about Palin being under investigation Jimbo just "Peeled" right out of that thread.
Or the other usage: He had nothing left of substance to argue his point so he just "peeled off" some insults instead.
