does chess need an american champ

"Americans are dumb.  Except for me of course and all of my friends and anyone who votes the same way I do. We're so much better than those guys."

Nice assumptions, per usual.  

No, it is not a "literalist interpretation", Slow Doug™. It is the standard English language meaning of your sentence based on the accepted definitions of the words you used. Your sentence wasn't an idiom, nor anything else which calls for something other than the standard meaning to apply. Qualifiers such as "some", most", "generally", etc., exist for a reason. It is especially important to have your ducks in a row when making contentious claims.

My comment was regarding the general public, as I already stated

Your second attempt to move the goal post, just as laughable as the first, is denied.

and was fairly obvious to anyone with even a partially functioning brain.

Comical irony, coming from someone who has recently admitted to being "extremely dumb", and has done nothing but confirm the truth of the admission since.

I guess when you have nothing of substance to criticize, might as well be a semantical douchebag!

I wasn't "criticizing" anything, ninny; I was pointing out the irony of an admittedly "extremely dumb" guy attempting to appraise someone else's command of the English language. It is even more ironic in light of your replies since.

And to add to the irony, the admitted simpleton who claimed that "Americans are extremely dumb" is calling someone a "douchebag".

Again, all semantics.  It's your only angle...might as well stick with it, right? 

I'm actually impressed that you're able to write so much text in regards to your mindless interpretation of the statement, "Americans are extremely dumb."  Stay strong though, Mr. Patriot.  

Do you mean a champion of America? Obviously nobody can guarantee the World Champion will be from a specific country. Not even the Russians can do that!

It's like after hearing someone say, "The Bears suck," and then proceeding to accuse them of implying that Matt Forte sucks as a HB and Brandon Marshall is a terrible WR.  Yes, you could be a literalist dumbass and think that a statement like "The Bears suck" implies that every single player on the team is poor at their position, or you could use your brain and realize that the statement is in reference to the collective whole compared to the competition.

Your already-refuted editorial is dismissed, and your tacit concession on the matter is noted, dullard.

You are hilarious.  

No, Admitted Dumb Guy™; "the Bears" are a team, and their performance is judged as a team. Thus, saying that "the Bears suck", has no implication with regard to the raw talent of individual players. This is why "all-star" teams can suck, because despite their individual talents, they may not work together well as a team, thus the team sucks.

You're admittedly dumb as an ox, and as such, you should stay far, far away from attempting to form analogies. It's harder than it seems.

Yes, you could be a literalist dumbass and think that a statement like "The Bears suck" implies that every single player on the team is poor at their position, or you could use your brain and realize that the statement is in reference to the collective whole compared to the competition.

See above, airhead. The literal meaning is that the team sucks, period. Anyone who thinks that a literal meaning would imply anything about the players beyond their collective failure as a team (like you, for instance), is an idiot. But, then, you already know you're an idiot; you've admitted to it.

Saying "Americans are extremely dumb" doesn't imply that EVERY citizen is dumb.  You can dance around this all you want and form your childish little insults(I R so smartz I can use trademark signs on forums, lol). I don't care what YOU thought my implication was by the statement, get that through your thick skull.  My analogy is perfectly sound, too.  My statement was concerning the collective whole compared to the competition, aka WORLD, exactly as my analogy.  And then you bring up team chemistry?  LOL, you are really grabbing at straws, and you're getting more and more angry too...

"See above, airhead. The literal meaning is that the COUNTRY sucks, period. Anyone who thinks that a literal meaning would imply anything about the CITIZENS beyond their collective failure as a COUNTRY (like you, for instance), is an idiot. But, then, you already know you're an idiot; you've admitted to it."

The irony is delicious.  

zzzzzzzzzzzz...

Americans it has been said ; Buy things we don't need with money we don't have to impress people we don't LIKE ! your "status" is how you are treated or mis-treated in american society , in the land of milk and honey you are "expected" to be somewhat successful if you are of sound mind and body. This country may feed and house the poor but make no mistake about it they view and treat them as the UNDERCLASS !!

No, it doesn't imply that every citizen is dumb; it flat-out means that every citizen is dumb. An implication is not a simple restatement of the claim/assertion/premise. What it implies is that you are dumb.

1. Americans are extremely dumb.
2. Fixing_A_Hole is an American.
3. Fixing_A_Hole is extremely dumb.

If the first two premises are true, then number 3, which is the conclusion/implication, is also true. Is that clear?

You can dance around this all you want and form your childish little insults(I R so smartz I can use trademark signs on forums, lol). I don't care what YOU thought my implication was by the statement, get that through your thick skull.

All of my "insults" pertain to your admittedly extremely low level of intelligence. Since you've admitted to it, how are they "insults"?

Let's call the blue text:

"Comical Irony Alert: Part VII"

My analogy is perfectly sound, too.

I've already established otherwise. Consider your mere gainsaying dismissed.

My statement was concerning the collective whole compared to the competition, aka WORLD, exactly as my analogy.  And then you bring up team chemistry?

A sports team inherently has a specific goal, "Americans" do not. When you say that a team "sucks", it is an inherent reference to their collective failure(s) to achieve that goal. Note that if you said, "The Bears are extremely dumb", it would mean that every player on the team is allegedly extremely dumb.

LOL, you are really grabbing at straws, and you're getting more and more angry too...

In addtion to admitting you are dumb as a mud fence, you have now admitted that you are delusional as well.

"See above, airhead. The literal meaning is that the COUNTRY sucks, period. Anyone who thinks that a literal meaning would imply anything about the CITIZENS beyond their collective failure as a COUNTRY (like you, for instance), is an idiot. But, then, you already know you're an idiot; you've admitted to it."

No, simpleton, there is no country called "Americans", and "sucks" is not in any way synonymous with "extremely dumb". "Americans" refers to U.S. citizens, and when said without any qualification or context which indicates otherwise, it refers to all U.S. citizens.

The irony is delicious.

See above, and, "monkey see, monkey do".

It had one once but it didn't end well.

You Fella's need a TIME-OUT this is getting out of hand and calling for the ole' LOCK-OUT !! 

We need a champ with charisma.  Who cares where he is from? Listening to Anand and Carlsen express themselves at press conferences was painful to say the least.  We need a Muhammed Ali of chess, someone that talks trash about his opponent, that wears a jewel encrusted crown with The king of chess emblazoned upon it and has scantily clad ladies in procession throwing flowers onto the ground to perfume his entrance.

American's have the Fighting Game Community and so do the Japanese and other European countries...

Well, this statement indicates we're not exclusive.

The U.S. is never going to be satisfied being second dumbest, that's for sure! Number #1 is the goal!
