So when you ask your spouse to do something it is a nice way to tell them to do it?
I was talking about my two-year-old daughter. why are you bringing in my spouse?!

Dunno 'bout that. He gave you some options for judges, and you essentially just called them all dishonest because you dealt with some dishonest Jews before. I used to work in a scrap yard. Want me to tell you about the junkie Catholics?
Sure lets here about them. Did they adhere to strict religious laws?

About as strictly as dishonest Jews. Came in on Ash Wednesday looking the part, too.

I have no idea how a child would take what you said. I know how an adult (spouse) would take it.

You know what I'm saying, though, so let's not play dumb. I was on the list of people you decided were dishonest just because you had a bad experience with someone who believes some of the same things I do. Dan, JJ, and a bunch of other good people were, too. Kinda lost your moral high ground there. Doesn't paint a pretty picture. Keep the nickel.

On the actual question - my opinion wasn't asked, and I honestly didn't think deeply enough into it to offer a response.

BUT... I find this argument extremely ironic. The last time I heard this argument, it was the Democrats who said that ask=tell, while it was the Republicans who said that ask≠tell.

See this short clip. Maybe it will jog your memory...

But if I told my spouse what happened and she happened to have overheard she would NOT say, "No, you didn't tell her, you asked her" because when the one you are talking to is required to listen, asking is just a nicer way of telling.
My spouse is not REQUIRED to do my will.

Meant to say that I was never appointed by both sides...

Believe me, I stayed far enough from this thread that I would never dream of opening my mouth here without someone tagging me first...

Agreed. He's talking about his military training. But the irony of it is tremendous. And the Republicans grilled him for that line...

Laying low and keeping your nose clean back in the JS Politics thread?

Hopefully even a firstgrader can understand the difference.  ;)
Ask - you give them a choice
Tell- you take away the choice

When a superior asks their underling to do something, they are essentially telling them politely to do it.

So after claiming you want to bet and me happily agreeing to do so you’re still trying to beg your case? Why not man up and accept the challenge?

Wrong, I have been asked many times by my boss to do something and politely said no.
It is a sign of respect to ask in those situations.
Perfect example: Can you work overtime this Friday? No I already have plans.
That is why the words don't have the same meaning in the same context. English 101.  :)

There they are not asking you do something. They are asking you *if* you are willing to do something.
