The subject of the sentence "Go." is the implied "You". The second person subject can be implied in English.kojikun wrote:Go cannot be a complete sentence because it just has a verb. A sentece must have a subject and a verb, therefor the shortest sentence in english is "It's" as a contraction of "It is." BTW, a good deal of that stuff is just hogwash. People need to stop posting this shit.
Any city gets what it admires, will pay for, and, ultimately, deserves…We want and deserve tin-can architecture in a tinhorn culture.

hah, this is from snopes: http://snopes.com/critters/crusader/minks.htm
PETA bitches set loose some minks destine to become soft furry coats.
Problem is, the minks went off and killed countless poor little animals. I
guess the stupid PETA bitches forgot that minks are vicious killers.
This is the best part:
"Several have wandered nonchalantly into local homes, including that of
Crow Hill resident Christine Pinder. She was shocked Saturday morning
when a mink -- which she at first thought was a kitten -- appeared in her
bedroom and jumped at the throat of her pet dog. "
haha it gets better
"In addition to the various beloved pets and indigenous wildlife killed by these predators, three extremely rare owls also fell prey to them. Minks
broke into the wildlife sanctuary where the owls were housed and made short work of them. "
Nice work PETA.
Funny thing is, they did it AGAIN in 1998! What retards! XD

That part about Walt Disney is false. He kept pet mice in his hotel room before he became successful. One of them, named Mortimer, was the inspiration behind Mickey Mouse.
And "Go." is a complete imperative sentence. Imperative sentences don't need to state their subjects.
