       That's a lie. I even later pointed out some of the specific information it   
   conveys, but apparently you are incapable of comprehending.

       That has been a lie evey time you've told it, and will continue to be a lie   
   every time you tell it.

       Yes it is. I figured it out for myself, but you can't.

       You have to say what you want us to feel it's better FOR for one thing, and   
   also better compared to what.

       I did tell you. What did I tell you doc, do you have any clue at all?
