Love. Fucking ben stiller and his stoopid "thought" experiments.

>I choose whoever
>whoever

Dumb whore. "Whoever" is clearly the direct object of that sentence and it should therefore be "whomever". There is nothing worse than women who think they are intelligent.

>>9152835
I don't think she thought she was very intelligent anon

Can someone make a funny meme image, something similar to the "i can be your best fantasy or worst nightmare" thing, but while juxtaposing Sam Hyde and DFW?

how can a nihilist say fascism is bad

>>9152835
the direct object is the clause "whomever types clearly"

lol @ men

>>9152835
Wrong, lad.

>>9153000
who cares?

>>9153000
They don't even have to

Look at that image. Nowhere does it say 'fascism is bad'

You just assumed it was in there because you believe fascism is bad.

REALLY TICKLES THOSE SYNAPSES

It's not even prescriptive. It serves a discernable function as an objective pronoun.

By your reasoning, "him gave a we a breadstick" is subjectively correct.

>>9152835
Whom/whomever can also be indirect.

>>9153372

To be fair, some authorities forbid such usages, because it is somewhat ambiguous what form you ought to use. And to be fair, I think the Romans would have avoided using quisquis in that context, using eum qui instead (though "him who" also sounds wrong in English), and Latin is commonly taken (not always rightly) as the model for English grammar. But I'd tend to agree that "whoever" trumps "whomever" in that context.

>>9153441
HAHAHA HES POINTING OUT MY SARCASM BY BEING SARCASTIC HIMSELF OMG!

>>9152326
Love Harris but I laughed heartily at this.

Obvious difference would be that "hot" in that sense is an already accepted definition of the word whereas truth isn't, truth is one of those things that have a quite clear meaning and not a colloquial use like "hot".

>>9152326

>>9153230
Subject instigates the verb, object recieves the verb.

>>9153230
That'd be a predicative expression (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predicative_%28adjectival_or_nominal%29) which isn't the case in this sentence.

>>9152835
you're wrong

>I choose he who types clearly
>I choose him who types clearly

it's whoever

fuck off retard, you can't think.

Dawkins part isn't so bad: he compliments philosophy since common sense is a joke, and there's nothing wrong with his second quote (imagine a square circle, etc.).
Nye's quote isn't either: see materialism

the worst kind of stupid can't recognize itself.

"Whoever" is the subject of the relative clause "X types quickly," just as in the sentence "I choose he who isn't a goddamned smug idiot." You don't choose him who isn't a goddamned smug idiot, you choose he who isn't a goddamned smug idiot.

it's like you fucks never even learned latin or any other declined language and you pretend like you're well read

The second Dawkins quote was originally from Chesterton and ironically enough it is meant to be an attack on atheism as in: "Lets be open minded and approach everything as equal and deserving of respect" and so on.
