"Yes Qatar is very giving. Now they are giving lots of money to the Hamas and the Hezbollah to rebuild Palestine and Lebanon. I guess there's nothing wrong with sucking up to both sides"
I don't get it, Rin. There are two sides, yes, nevertheless you wanted to insinuate that the USA is on the other side. Wrong, FYI, Israel is. Not America. Don't go there, my friend. |

It's a shame the salaries in Qatar haven't been that generous in recent years.
Oh and Melissa;your surname isn't Qhatani is it? |
Well, I am new to this. But kind of turned off with the people just acting like an ass holes over this issue of donation from State of Qatar. You guys are just losers from hell, if you can not do something atleast let other people do. And if you have little bit of decency, appreciate their efforts. You Americans are just the opportunist rather %%&^$&$%&$ |

Yes, you are new to this with your total of 2 posts... this being one of them. I would do some reading and get to know posters before you start posting insults and quasi obscenities.
This is not a political board and too much of this and threads just get locked or deleted by the MODs.

Actually, it does nothing of the sort. Check your dictionary... and while there you can look up 'menaing.'

Ah, the Rolling Stone has returned. How's the beard coming along? Previously, I suggested you work on your syntax, but silly me, I forgot to mention your morphology as well. |

ir‧re‧gard‧less /ˌɪrɪˈgɑrdlɪs/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[ir-i-gahrd-lis] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
�adverb Nonstandard. regardless.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Origin: 1910�15; ir-2 (prob. after irrespective) + regardless]
�Usage note Irregardless is considered nonstandard because of the two negative elements ir- and -less. It was probably formed on the analogy of such words as irrespective, irrelevant, and irreparable. Those who use it, including on occasion educated speakers, may do so from a desire to add emphasis. Irregardless first appeared in the early 20th century and was perhaps popularized by its use in a comic radio program of the 1930s.

Based on the Random House Unabridged Dictionary, � Random House, Inc. 2006.
American Heritage Dictionary - Cite This Source new! ir�re�gard�less (r-g舐dls) Pronunciation Key
adv. Nonstandar.
Regardless.
[Probably blend of irrespective, and regardless.]
Usage Note: Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so.

So what? Someone who writes at the level of the majority of your posts should be the last to throw stones.
I suggest that perhaps after 500+ posts you make some attempt to actually provide the readers of this board with a tiny bit of useful, practical information. Something that your posts have rarely, if ever done... certainly not in the ME section, but they are consistently full of errors in syntax and spelling.
