      That is one definition. Here are some others ... overall: taking all the different aspects of a situation into account spherical: shaped like a globe or sphere compute relating to whole of system: covering or affecting the whole of a computer system, program, or file [^][^] [^]

        A. Who or what is the official that legislates definitions? :) B. You missed the :laugh: or you have no sense of humor. C. An official definition of moron: "Moron" was coined in 1910 by psychologist Henry H. Goddard from the Ancient Greek word μωρός (moros), which meant "dull" (as opposed to "sharp"), and used to describe a person with a mental age in adulthood of between 8 and 12 on the Binet scale. It was once applied to people with an IQ of 51-70, being superior in one degree to "imbecile" (IQ of 26-50) and superior in two degrees to "idiot" (IQ of 0-25). Since my mental age on the Binet scale is greater than 12 and my IQ is substantially higher than 70, I'm not a moron. Of course you may have some unofficial definition, but that does not count according to you. So either accept it or be deemed an "idiot". ;P

                                  This one, though it does seem to resemble another recent argument. You're claiming that to be a "global phenomenon", it has to affect everything. I'm saying it only indicates that the effect is in multiple parts of the globe, instead of confined to one region.

                                  Well thats a pretty slack deffinition of global. How about if there were floods in two parts of the world, would you call that global? Or an outbreak of foot an mouth disease, would you call it global? How about inside a country. If two counties in England had outbreaks of foot and mouth would you call that national?

                                    So human recorded history = Scottish recoded history? That's what I mean - you make broad sweeping statements that when challenged you have to retract. BTW is there a temperature record that stretches back to the beginning of even Scottish recorded history?

                                        Two? Probably not. Three or four, if they might be related in terms of cause? Sure.

                                        H1N1 was considered a global pandemic. Does that mean every single person on Earth was infected? No. It just means it spanned multiple geographic regions.

                                        Again... Two? Probably not... Several in different parts of the country, sure. Like I said, it's a bit ambiguous. Doesn't mean it's wrong.

                                          You said "is that for ever?". Makes sense with quotes and a question mark?
