Our Lady Peace - DVD 2006?

However, it's an expression that I don't use myself because of the logical problems. Just like I don't say "it's not even funny" when something clearly is.

No, the expression really is "I could care less." It's how the majority of people say it. If you're unhappy with the logical meaning of "I could care less" then just call the expression an idiom.

Just because that's the way people say it doesn't make it right. People have misused it for years. It's still misusing it.

I believe as far as language is concerned, if many people use it, it does make it right. That's how words get added to the dictionary, because people use them. Expressions go the same way, I think.

It's why we're forced to take English for 4 years in high school. If they don't get it through our thick skulls that "I can't not get enough Lay's potato chips" in fact is a double negative and means "I can get enough Lay's potato chips," then enough people would be out there using double negatives that it would become correct.

This expression is just one that they let slip past them for too long, and now it's correct. And all those silly English teachers really could care less! In the logical way even.

Do they come in pink?

that is the cutest and stupiest thing I ever saw.. :lol:

I do agree with Matt and Crustin. Who really cares about Raine's shoes..?

If they had some kind of effect on his singing or playing I might care.

I never really understood why people get so wrapped up in what someone was wearing. Then again I am not one into Fashion. I have a friend that can tell you what someone is wearing and what year.. SHe is such a Channel freak..

Party poopers much?

Really, maybe you guys don't care about Raine's shoes, but others do. I personally hate them, but I know other people liked them and wanted a pair. Which is why I spent time trying to find them. And you know what? It was fun looking at all the ugly shoes and making fun of them.

But you know what? If you wanna come in and make people feel bad for caring about Raine's shoes, go ahead. It's nice, really it is. :duncan:

Oh, and no I don't, and it's extremely rude of you to make that comment.

I am very unclear as to how this is rude. I was commenting on the lack of ability to stay on topic. I was not insulting anyone, and if by chance anyone was insulted my sincerest appologies.

Know that I work in this field and I do not see an recognized condition as an insult. My opinion is that the perception that ADHD is an insult further marginalizes those with ADHD.

Again I am utterly serious here, If someone was insulted by this comment I do appoligize.

I found it very condescending when paired with your other comment.

crustine · Post by **crustine** » 1/23/2006, 11:36 am

hmm I didn't realized it was paired with anything. I thought it was a straight up comment. Again I am sorry you were insulted.

Just a misunderstanding, that's all.
