I thought Pensacola-dude was responsible for the corn in this forum.

Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.

I could care less what your motives are. I just simply point out what your words say. Also I prefer Webster to Yahoo. I think the reputation of the two names says it all; about you and me.

Yahoo does use Webster's dictionary....so your argument fails. But if you perfer, here's directly from Webster's website.
ad hominem

Main Entry: 1ad ho·mi·nem
Pronunciation: (')ad-'hä-m&-"nem, -n&m
Function: adjective
Etymology: New Latin, literally, to the person
1 : appealing to feelings or prejudices rather than intellect
2 : marked by or being an attack on an opponent's character rather than by an answer to the contentions made
Definition of ad hominem - Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary


You misread what Bologney said. YOUR error, not his. YOUR error, not mine.

Be a grownup and admit you didn't have a clue what was being said. Instead of throwing insults that come to mind to cover your own illiteracy.

Which incidentally, when you respond in such a manner, that is an "ad hominem". Which proves what Bologney said. Not refutes it.

Again...It's "ad hominem". Not "hominy".

Oh, and you need correcting there as well. Hominy isn't a 'corn based food' as you put it. It IS corn.

Main Entry: hom·i·ny
Pronunciation: 'hä-m&-nE
Function: noun
Etymology: Virginia Algonquian -homen, literally, that treated (in the way specified)
: kernels of corn that have been soaked in a caustic solution (as of lye) and then washed to remove the hulls

"Corn-based" means that there's other ingredients besides just corn. That it's mixed with another food source and only represents a small percentage of the whole. Hominy though, is 100% corn. Nothing added. Just soaked so the husk can be removed and make it easier to digest and perserve.

I dont think he can read that many words let alone know the definitions of them Ali without him crying and throwing insults at us. Im sure the only thing he uses a dictionary for is toilet paper.
