The point here is that you cannot go around IP-protecting words that people already use in general speech to mean a whole class of things. It would be absurd.

Quote from: garbon on October 12, 2011, 11:05:32 AMtotally possible but again why would I?

In spite of your pretentions otherwise, you don't have enough class to be bourgeois.

Since when do the bourgeois have class?

Although, perhaps the three of you have a positive view of the bourgeois.

Why would one have a negative view?
Quite. It would be petit.

Martinus is so very, very bourgeois.  It would be a redeeming quality, except he takes it too far.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Of someone trying to be bourgeois?  This must be a troll.

No your definition of bourgeois. You seem to equate positive qualities to it - so I was wondering what your take is.

My statement was that Marti tries to be bourgeois.  If you agree with that statement then it makes not one bit whether I think that is a good or bad thing.

You also asked me how I could make claims to be. Between those two instances, it sounded like you were saying it would be a step up for both of us.

Do you not have a definition?

Bourgeois virtues are sobriety, thrift, and the accumulation of wealth.
