acctually, perrogative means freedom given by one's authority.

Actually prerogative means right. In any sense it means freedom of speech or actions basically.

Yeah, and that's not what you said in your first post in the thread...

Choice doesn't mean exclusive right. But this isn't an English class so we won't hassle you too much.

Holy shit has this turned into English class. I graduated from H.S. a long time ago and this topic has strayed right back to that hell. Don't make me go back.

I agree with Prometheus. Who gives a shit who bought what gun for an insanely large amount of money. If he wanted it, that is what he paid for it. The value of any Nerf gun, or anything on ebay, for that matter, is based solely on how much someone is willing to pay for it. As a collector, I have paid alot more for some guns than they are nearly worth because it was either a hard-to-find piece or I needed it to complete a set. Leave him the fuck alone about this. I don't care, the people that have known him don't care, and I'm sure he doesn't care either.

Lilsniper, I remember you from back before grammar police and the dictionaries were aggravating me here on NH. Welcome back!

....hey, there's the meaning I've been looking for!


Seriously, people. If you're going to have pretentious teenager debates, take it to the Dumbfuck Junior High debate forum. Quote Groove, quoting Langley,"We grownups have plastic toys to discuss".

Thanks for the head-up, Badger. If you didn't post here, I probably wouldn't have bothered to double-check on them young n's.


I generally frown on "welcome back" threads, especially if the departed had only been away a few months, and hadn't a whole lot of impact on the NerfHaven forums for the most part. Nothing personal, mind y'all, it's just my opinion of that.


Now if cxwq came back, well, hey, we'd throw a huge party. Then again, probably half of the active posters right now would be suspended immediately. So you little bugs better start gettin' it all together. The day may not be far off.

Welcome back, lilsniper. Try not to lose interest so soon again. Too many come here expecting to make a big splash, only to ditch a couple months into it.
