Detax Canada

However, I posted the original and still quite adequate and meaningful definition of the term 'govern' as meaning to steer or pilot a ship

No, you didn't. You posted the etymology of a related word in Ancient Greek. You might have gotten a clue about the fact that it was an etymology, not a definition, by the fact that it was labelled as an etymology.

You didn't post any definitions at all.

In case you hadn't noticed, people here tend to speak and write English. Except for "freeman" tax protesters, who can usually at best achieve gibberish.
 
We can add religion in The Roman Empire to the growing list of topics that EldonG knows nothing about.
The Isis Cult and Mithraism had little in common,and in fact competed with each other for followers.
And it is sort of contradictory for somebody who talks so much about "Creator God" to knock religon like that.

I'll forgive your total ignorance of the subject matter, but around 350 AD, when ordered by Emperor Constantine to convert to Christianity, Mythraism ceased to exist, except maybe in a few holdout pockets of the Roman Empire.

If Creator God had anything to do with either the creation of Mythraism or Christianity, then that only proves that Creator God is/was a damned fool.

Where in Hell do you think most words and terms come from in the English language? - Latin, Greek, German and French.

And, what do you think (if you think at all) 'etymology' means?

You are very weak in your debunking powers.

I'd post a definition, but I'm afraid of what that might trigger.

Yes, violate both the rules of the forum that you agreed to, and common decency, when people point out your nonsense.

They come from other words.

And, what do you think (if you think at all) 'etymology' means?

The study of the history and origins of words, as opposed to lexicography and/or semantics, which is the study of the meanings of words.

As some simple examples, can men be "hysterical"? Can women in Manhattan be "lesbians"? Is a "leopard" a crossbreed between a panther and a lion? Are "praying mantises" religous? Does a "pineapple" grow on a tree? How many feet does a "centipede" have?

When you understand how the common house centipedes (Scutigera coleoptrato) can have 15 pairs of feet (30 in all), you'll understand how etymology doesn't control meaning.
 
EldonG, please take a gander at the Membership Agreement. All the insults are going to accomplish is to get you suspended or something. If you'd like to keep posting here, just keep it civil. This shouldn't be too hard.

Anyway, while words came into English from Greek or whatever, words mean, in 2010, what they mean. Take the words "gay" or "faggot" for instance. In North America in the year 2010 those don't mean "happy" or "bundle of sticks." There is no secret code in legal language. "Govern" does not refer to a ship. A person is a person. Heck, people are people!
 
I thought the Jews controlled the world? :)

Ooooo!!! Oooooo!!! I can answer this one!

You see the act of going to Pontius Pilate by the Jewish elders to resolve their little Jesus problem, caused the Jews to cede sovereignty to Rome and become forever subservient to the Catholic Church which didn't exist yet.

They are just another set of pawns in the Pope's grand game.

The worst part is I didn't make that up, it came from a Catholic CT website I read a few years ago.
 
So??? The Bills of Exchange Act of Canada has not been otherwise modified, making promissory notes 'negotiable instruments' as per the Financial Administration Act of Canada.

The Bills of Exchange Act was enacted or revised in the early 1930s to allow 'settlement' of debt because there was no real asset value money to 'pay' a debt, thus preventing a creditor from sueing or confiscating property because they did not get an exchange of a real asset for an asset sold. So, if Parliament says that Canadian currency is no longer a bill of exchange, then that means that creditors are getting truly ripped off, and currency is purely a con game.

The revision just says that Canadian Currency is now pure Monopoly Money, and is a total fraud upon the Canadian people.
Natch. Invincible delusion. Facts that directly counter your beliefs are in fact evidence for them.

Get help.

Which causes confusion/amusement to US tourists when they see 'Faggots in Gravy' for sale in UK supermarkets. ;)
 
I think 'sticks in gravy' pretty much says it all about English cookery. Although I expect it can be blamed on Benedict VIII, yeah?

Also, it's "MITHRA", not "Mythra".
 
Eldon, as I said I am very interested in your way of dodging taxes. Could you provide a real world example of where it works?
 
You'll have to wait three days. He's been suspended. Though of course, in his world, the suspension only applies to the entity called EldonG, and he's not restricted by names, governments, the Roman Catholic church or reality.

Why am I not shocked at EldonG being suspended?
His career at JREF is not going to be long and will not end well.....

Back in the 80's I had a dive instructor from the UK. One morning he walks into the dive shop and says, "I'm feeling a bit queer, I could really use a fag."

After we were able to pull ourselves up off the floor where we were rolling around laughing we sat him down and had a discussion of US vs UK slang.

Shrug. Won't be the first case of suicide by mod, won't be the last.

I'm sure this is just proof that Randi is a crypto-Jesuit who only pretends to be one of the world's most outspoken atheists.....
 
Okay, while he is gone...

How much is the Pope paying you guys? After my shill taxes I'm barely scraping by.

:D
 
All I've gotten so far is a crappy "trainee" name tag and some snazzy red socks.
 
I'm sorry to hear that EldonG has been banned for three days. I will reply now regardless in hopes that EldonG will respond after three days when he is able to post again.

That doesn't mean that promissory notes are money. Obviously promissory notes are negotiable instruments by definition, and they always have been.

The Bills of Exchange Act was enacted or revised in the early 1930s to allow 'settlement' of debt because there was no real asset value money to 'pay' a debt,

No, the act has never been inacted or revised for this reason.

thus preventing a creditor from sueing or confiscating property because they did not get an exchange of a real asset for an asset sold.

No. Switching to a fiat currency at no point allowed anyone to make this argument. If you think that anyone ever did make this argument succesfully feel free to point us to the decision.

So, if Parliament says that Canadian currency is no longer a bill of exchange, then that means that creditors are getting truly ripped off, and currency is purely a con game.

Yes, it is a fiat currency and I can understand why some poeple have trouble with the concept. But money has value because the vast majority of people value it highly. This is the same for anything when you break it down. Gold only has value because the vast majority of people value it. Gold has some intrinsic value and fiat currency doesn't, but at the end of the day both are highly valued by the vast majority of people. Nobody is getting ripped off.

If a person for some reason doesn't value money and thinks getting paid in money is a "rip off" they are free to negotiate payment in any form they like. If you can find someone willing to pay you for your labour in chickens, or gold, or magic beans rather than money there is nothing preventing you from entering into this kind of arrangement.

The revision just says that Canadian Currency is now pure Monopoly Money, and is a total fraud upon the Canadian people

It isn't a fraud because everyone knows we have a fiat currency. Most people understand what this means and are still happy to accept money as payment for their services. This isn't any kind of secret, and as I pointed out, people are not forced to accept money if they can make other arrangements. So the situation clearly doesn't come close to anything amounting to fraud.

What is the point of attempting to discuss such matters with a traitor and liar?

I guess calling me a traitor is somewhat subjective and you are entitled to your opinion. But to call me a liar it would make sense to first point out something I have said that you believe is a lie. You haven't really responded to any of my points and I believe that I can provide evidence and reaons to back up what I have said here. So I would suggest that you should either point out what you consider to be a lie or else retract your statement.

All the evidence and proof in the world would not change your loyalty to your primary oath to the Lawyers Guild ( The BAR) of the City of London, and thus the Pontiff's Holy Roman Empire evil dictatoprship.

First of all, the fact that lawyers swear an oath to uphold the law does not mean that pledged any loyalty to the government above their clients. I am not a government employee and I regularly assist individuals who are in disputes with the government. I have no loyalty to the pope or to city of London because obviously no lawyer's oath has anything to do with these entities. It is an oath to uphold principles of fairness and to follow the law. Not an oath to follow or be loyal to any specific entity.

Also, there is not a "Lawyers Guild" but lawyers in Canada are members of the law society in their respective provinces. However being a member does not require anyone to swear any kind of oath of loyalty to the organization. The law society is responsible for setting the requirements for education, training, and qualifications that someone must complete and maintain in order to become or remain a lawyer. The law society obviously does not prevent someone from being swayed by good arguments even if they run counter to best interests of the law society (not that any of your arguments have anything to do with the law society even if I did swear some kind of oath to them). There is also nothing that prevents a lawyer from representing clients in disputes with the law society, something which happens regularly.

A good example of this is 'person'. That term is commonly used to mean a human creature, but in legal terms/code, it means a subservient member of a corporate body, or a crewmember on a ship, who is subservient to the supreme command of the captain of the ship.

This is not the case. There are countless numbers of statutes that define "preson." None of which define it in the manner you suggest. There are also many cases where the courts have considered the legal definition of person (many where people have tried to make the same type of argument you are making here). Again, none of these decision have agreed with your definition.

So if you are the only one saying that a certian definition is the right one, I think by default yu are wrong regardless of what type of linguistic argument you make. Reality has simply trumped whatever linguistic/historical/legal argument you think you have.
