In that mannequins are not people.

I'm fairly sure that "destructive" is a term that applies to more than just people.

I know what you meant though, I'm just being pedantic.

Neither are buildings. And yet, calling in CAS on it is a destructive action.

To be honest, I'm disappointed with this. It doesn't even come close to looking like my ex-GF.

"Your side"? My side of what, exactly?

It's not about avoiding making people uncomfortable, it's about being less presumptuous about motives you wouldn't really know for sure about.

i havent developed that far, but hitting an ex really has never made it to a desire. now there is one or two or five i wouldnt mind another roll or two in the hay with, but i dont think that is where you were going with that.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Destructive doesn't mean causing harm. It means destructive. There is no homonym that means "causing harm to a human being".

I was giving him the benefit of the doubt. Because "Homonym" is fucking stupid, what sounds like destructive, but doesn't mean destructive?

I've never had my negative responses to an ex be more than "Get the fuck away from me."

Not if president of USA has put you on one of his hit lists because you are deemed threat to national security.

That would be homophone, I think.

Homonym means same word, different meanings.

Not a proper homonym but felt like making pun. We were using the word in different senses and that's what I was addressing.

That would be rather complicated, given that I am from Argentina, have never been to the United States, and have made no publications either condemning or praising America, nor have I sent any threats to American national security.
