tynamite's avatar Me along with hackers, spammers and rival businesess, will be buying every single .con domain possible from the Top 500 Alexa websites. Companies will spend loads of money defending their name. Legally, if I'm using the name for a legitimate, sufficent purpose not to be confused with the similar name through branding/endorsement/market, I can keep the domain name. Seeing as that's so, if I had my way, I would do this...

Amazon.con ✔ A tourist website about seeing nature attractions.
Apple.con ✔ A diet and excercise website to help people get better health.
website

I'm using generic words for my .con, so it's not like I'm infringing on a trademark, is it?

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
