Actualy very recently I met Buddy's guitarist Tommy Alsupp from his final tour, he was was the guy who gave up his seat on Buddy's plane for Richie Valens, I've also met the rest of his band from those fabulous days, Jerry Allison (Drummer who actualy married the real life Peggy Sue) Joe B Mauldin Bass, Sonny Curtis Guitar.

What would you say of a Prime Minister deciding whether to invade another country but showing no interest in what effect such an invasion would have ? What would you say of a military leader who, ignored all specialist and expert advice and invaded a country depsite grave warnings about the security turmoil whichy would result ? What would you say of a political leader who ignored all legal advice against invading another country, including from his own foreign ministry, and still invaded ? What would you say of a foreign leader who invaded your country on the 'invitation' of some of your fellow country men who had been brought together and paid for by that foreign country solely in order to issue that invitation ?

You’ll be lucky to help yourself comprehend the basics of the English language let alone help others!

"IF" is a Boolean query having only two possible outcomes and they are either TRUE or FALSE.

For example, the statement… “If you are over 18 you can vote” ...can only yield a “yes” or “no” and there is no such thing as a MAYBE. The same applies to every other use of the “if” IF (pun intended) you care to research.

(I apologize for going off-topic, but I just can't let this one go.)

Admittedly, I'm a techno-midget :roll: , but to my limited knowledge "if" isn't on the list of common Boolean operators (i.e. and, or, not), but this is beside the point.

Like I said before, "if" establishes a contingency. To use your example and words from the definition you referenced in the above link:

"'In the event that' you are over 18, you can vote," or

"'Granting that' you are over 18, you can vote," or

"'On the condition that' you are over 18, you can vote"

All the same as saying, "If you are over 18, you can vote." The latter depends upon the former, thus establishing the contingency: "Contingent upon being 18, you can vote."

P.S. If you worry about being a "liar" and and "idiot," I'll worry about my basic English comprehension skills. Okay? :wink:


AND, OR, XOR, and NOT are Bitwise operators not Boolean!

The IF statement tests if something is true or false, otherwise known as a “condition”, to route the outcome to the desired action.

Here’s simple pseudo code to better understand the logical sequence of IF…

IF [some test is TRUE] THEN [run process 1] ELSE [run process 2]

End of story Filitsa… and yes you can go back to sleep now.

What has this got to do with this thread about muslims using two Downs Syndrome women to carry remotely controled bombs into a market packed with muslims? other than by some warped form of reasoning using it as another way to blame the West.


"I hate the west so much that I feel suicidal, I must go to the busy market and blow myself and many other muslims up". Wow what logic!

No this is the first time your mates have used Downs Syndrome sufferes to carry out their cowardly work.

I had a great night's sleep, and I'm chipper this morning, thank you!

So as I said, I'm no techno guru, but I know that bitwise operations are Boolean operations. I'm even more certain that "if" establishes a contingency and that "on the condition that" and "contingent upon" are synonymous. Now, lay off the Scotch. Yes, end of story.

GR was in this instance talking absolute nonsense. The question was that two DAWN SYNDROME innocent girls...

Get Real looks like you lost, but well done on the deflecting tactics because you were proven wrong on point about the main issue.

END OF STORY go and get some grenade practice, and remember; you throw the pin.

SAVAGES STRIKE AGAIN

Yet more bombings this time and once more Pakistan, the west has a lot to answer to, obviously these people were so traumatised by the coalitions liberation of the Kurds and Marsh Arabs in iraq that they just had to go out and blow a few people up.
