Semicolons - Fortune [possible satire]

wes_tell me how can u print a message without using a semicolon in the printg statement
rindolfwes_: in C?
rindolfwes_: do you mean the printf(...) statement?
wes_yes
rindolfwes_: you cannot without using macros I think.
rindolfwes_: and don't use macros for that.
wes_i mean without using a semicolon at the printf statement but you have to use printf only
rindolfwes_: why would you want to do that?
rindolfwes_: what do you have against semicolons?
rindolfSome of my best friends are semicolons.

rindolflulzfish_4: heh.
rindolf"I owe it all to semicolons."
amigojapanhey rindolf lulzfish_4
rindolfHi amigojapan
rindolfamigojapan: what's up?
* rindolfgives a semicolon to amigojapan
* amigojapanreturns a whitespace to rindolf
rindolfamigojapan: that's not fair trade.
rindolfBut I'll treasure the whitespace.
amigojapanrindolf: a whitespace is just as valuable as a semicolon in python :)
rindolfamigojapan: aren't semicolons optional in Py?
amigojapanrindolf: I think they are
amigojapanrindolf: actually, a whitespace can be as valuable as 2 curly braces :)
rindolfamigojapan: heh.
rindolfamigojapan: you need 4 spaces to distinguish stuff properly.
amigojapanrindolf: one thing I never got about python is why they need the : after if and for statements....
* PythonSnakegives a colon to rindolf
PythonSnake:)
amigojapanrindolf: actually, I prefer using tabs to 4 spaces...
rindolfPythonSnake: thanks for the colon.
PythonSnakerindolf: lol
rindolfPythonSnake: I'll give you a « and a » in exchange.
PythonSnakelol
amigojapanrindolf: the fact that you don't have a rule to how much white space you must use to indent in python, I think is a bad thing...
* PythonSnakefinds a interrobang
PythonSnake:)
amigojapanrindolf: if it is 4 spaces then fine, but make it a rule so it is consistent
