You don't know how to use or interpret a dictionary.

Capitulation, round 2. I'm going to go swimming, so you won't have to worry about me blowing gaping holes in your idiotic opinions for a while.

P.S. They are being taken away because you do not have the option to keep them. Duh.

You get something of equal value in exchange.

Hence "exchange", not "confiscation".

Again, if they were confiscated, you would get nothing in exchange.

Try websters again, maybe call in an adult..

You seem to think the meaning of a word depends on opinion? Sorry to let you down there.

If Raev's posting doesn't warrant SoRP honorary status, I have no idea what will.

I have no idea

That much is obvious. If the exchange is compulsory, enacted unilaterally by an authority such as government then it would still qualify as a confiscation. This is so hard : /

no it is not, when equal compensation is offered it is called exchange

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confiscation

feel free to post a source which mentions that an exchange of equal value goods is defined as confiscation

I don't need to. The definition of confiscate includes "to seize by authority." It does not preclude compensation. These sorts of subtle differences are important to logic.

The funny thing is, you don't even understand what part of your argument was valid lol.

I'm sorry, I don't see any of those definitions including the mention of compensation being offered, quite the contrary.

verb (used with object), confiscated, confiscating.
1.
to seize as forfeited to the public domain; appropriate, by way of penalty, for public use.
2.
to seize by or as if by authority; appropriate summarily:
The border guards confiscated our movie cameras.

1. includes "as forfeited", which seems to indicate .. no compensation

2. do you think the border guards offered compensation for the cameras? do you think "seizing by authority", is an indication of compensation being offered?

hilarious

[derpcake]

I used the definitions you linked and both of them preclude compensation as much as a definition can.

You are twisting the burden of proof and doing a poor job at it.

You might as well ask me to provide proof that confiscation doesn't involve clowns. It doesn't btw, unfortunately there won't be any source detailing it, as its nonsense.

Good game.
