A 6-week-old baby died in Tennessee on Thursday after the family dog attacked the newborn while he was asleep in his crib.

While Ezra was taking a nap in his crib, the family’s Husky that they owned for eight years attacked out of nowhere.

“And to just bring awareness that it could be any dog at any time. Completely unprovoked, no matter what the history is,” Chloe said.

    So it’s more like a semantics(what words mean) thing tripping you up.

    Got it.

    If you stand on your head, then pyramids look like ice cream cones.

    Totally.

      “there was no reason, but here’s the reason” isn’t semantics. It’s just you contradicting yourself one sentence later.

        Yes, semantics, I get it.

        You need things strictly defined for you but aren’t willing to provide parameters or ask questions.

        You built a sand castle and then knocked it down all by yourself.

        Very impressive.

          Saying two conflicting things in the same statement isn’t semantics. It’s evidence that the author is a putz.

            Whether two statements conflict with one another is a function of what those statements mean which is also called “semantics”.

            Oh, so you’re interpreting certain words to mean something different than their intention?

            Like your choosing to define a word differently than someone else?

            Isn’t there a…word…for that…

            Oh, semantics, got it, good thing you connected the dots there.

              Like your choosing to define a word differently than someone else?

              No? I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt, assuming you know English, and interpreting them as written. There’s not a whole lot of room for interpretation there.

              Though I am starting to wonder if maybe I gave you too much credit

                If you don’t understand that one word can have multiple definitions, I’ll agree that your assumptions may be giving you trouble.

                    Don’t think anybody asked you about that word in particular, but at least you’re crawling toward an understanding.

                    Just for fun, “no” can semantically refer to 1) a discreet or broad lack of; or 2) an imperative command to avoid a particular action, but you probably knew that and were being semantically facetious, otherwise you would look like you done goofed up real hard.
