Here's his quote, you go look it up, you f00kin dumbass: "I kinda' wish I had been born in Toronto..." You shure don't get literary devices, do you? Toronto is one of the world's nicest cities, and Montreal is high on my list, too. Saying I would love to live there does not make me any more Canadian than loving the city of light makes me want to be French. But you didn't state that you would love to live there, CS Boy, what you said was "I kinda' wish I had been BORN in Toronto..." Now run along and obfuscate elsewhere, remittance man. "I kinda' wish I had been born in Toronto" simply means that the city is friendly, diverse, beautiful, a cultural center, etc. No, his statement means he wishes he had been born in Toronto. He may also believe that Toronto is friendly, diverse, etc., but that is purely incidental and does nothing to change the conventional meanings of words. I could say the same thing about San Francisco, London, Paris, Madrid, Buenos Aires, Hong Kong and another half-dozen cities in the world I love. Yes, I suppose you could, but in that case you would be saying something other than what the earlier speaker said. Since you can not change your birthplace, anyone with the ability to think would understand that the statement is a compliment, an expression of admiration, and nothing more. You can't change your ethnicity, either. You sure read things literally even when there is NO WAY to take them literally. You appear to take them figuratively because you lack the discipline to respect their literal meanings. |
