william Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 You couldn't buy the Museum collections as they belong to the nation. If you were a millionaire -> If you had the power to do such things -> Not real life! Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 If you were a millionaire you still wouldn't be able to have the collection so my point still stands. If you said "Hypoythetically, what coins would you like?" then yes, you would be right, but you didn't. Quote
Master Jmd Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 What don't you understand now? probably 'Hypoythetically', he is only 11 you know Quote

william Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 (edited) What don't you understand now?I didn't say I didn't understand anything, what the heck gave you that idea? If it was this:then what I meant by that, was that you (ahem!) were being a nitpick! Edited May 7, 2004 by william Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Nitpicking is picking out inconsequential things in certain arguments etc. What you said was fundamentally wrong therefore it was not nitpicking. When I disagree with you, try and defeat it properly instead of resorting to nitpicking please, it makes for much more lively debate. Quote

If you said "Hypoythetically, what coins would you like?" then yes, you would be right, but you didn't. This is nitpicking, is it not? Oh, and own up, what was it that made you think I didn't understand something? Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Oh, and own up, what was it that made you think I didn't understand something?I will "own up" but you answered this yourself earlier. Both MJMD and I understood to mean one doesn't understand or is perplexed by something....after all, this is a 'what if' thread! How observant, but it is "If you were a millionaire". As I said earlier, even if you were a millionaire, you still wouldn't be able to have the Museum collections legally. Quote
