ok...so if they are true synonyms....you should be able to put detain into that site and get imprison....try it
it doesnt list imprison as an alternative

and since the original article discussed detention and not imprison....you should input detain into the thesaurus

god what are you 11?

Are you 11? You deny any reference if it does not suit your agenda.

Will you really do and say anything to defend this guy? Did you read that post of yours. You are actually saying that a thesaurus is wrong so you can defend pucky the wonder shut in. Come on. He really has you guys. I have said it before ... you really really should find out what exactly "it" is that you are defending.

It's always the extremists on either end of a cause or belief that do the most to hurt it. God I just love reading this drivel.
