Isn't the phrase "an unnecessary waste" redundant? I believe past history indicates that it is. ~



Oop, that history thing is also redundant. I should probably self-correct myself, right?

    Not necessarily. Can you imagine being constipated for a week.

    I once gave someone an enema with a turkey baster who was constipated for a week.  I had to.  We were in a hurricane and there was no way to get him to an emergency room.

    It worked too.

    I heard the phrase 'found missing' yesterday on NCIS. Bad writing.

    I understand.  I am a Law and Order Ho.

    I also have an unnatural perversion for David Caruso.  I like his voice.

    Oh good. Now we have more to talk about.

    I love Law and Order SVU the best.  What perverts write this stuff?  Oh, wait.  That's right.  It is based on actual cases.  There is nothing our minds can manufacture that we have not acted out somewhere, someplace. 

    I just cannot stand thinking about people who are living in that world, the criminals, but I cannot look away for some reason either.

    I see that you made another error in logic there.

    That's all I see.

    When something is manufactured, there is a necessary waste, quite often.


    There are several necessary examples of necessary waste.

    When something is just thrown away needlessly,  and that something can be used for other purposes, then we have caused an unnecessary waste.    When you make something at the cost of other properties being cast off in order to create the product, then you have necessary waste.   I am making a clay pot.  It causes heat and smoke.  Necessary waste.

    Nice pot.

    This is dum. D-U-M. Dum. This is spherically dum.

    I mean it's dum any way you look at it.

    Not always.  In a conversation about waste that is impossible to curb, waste that can be mitigated but isn't would be unnecessary waste.

    I do see what you did there and I find your redundancy to be very redundant.
