Why not "of" where "different" is equatable to "separate?" "What I have to say is different of what my opponent says." As noted: "What I have to say i...

People don't like thinking. Yours is a complicated notion. Which requires it. Oh never mind. At the same time, case and point.

It's almost like they care about money more than right and wrong. Weird. Totally bizarre. Like something out of a George Orwell novel. :smirk:
