    To me, a white paper is a paper which explains or discloses. It can only be factual, not opinion.

    By the way, this is a great idea to bulk up the board and make money for Denny and his leeching profit-sucking Uriah Heep, Sly. I look forward to hundreds of threads arguing about definitions of particular words.

    "purpose is to simplify an unknown subject"

    Take out "unknown" and I agree.

    "desirable way"

    No.

    the British definition...

    I don't know about that.

    Someone once trashed me in here because I called @EL PRESIDENTE "son". Meanwhile, EL liked my post, so there's that.

    I knew that you knew that. It was all in fun. In fact, I don't mind it when you call me a pasty, privileged WASP. I'm working on that. Really am.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Would you say that you're a minority being oppressed by a society that enforces the status quo by silencing you through unjust double standards?

    Is there an unequal distribution of likes in our society?

    If I knew which specific party/parties/factions were enforcing said status quo, I might be able to answer your question.

    In my experience, toilet paper is generally white. Probably the most useful of white papers.

    Me thinks you're being a bit throne-deaf.
