wrote: "John H" wrote in message .. . Very weird response, John. I compared defending an ally that has been attacked vs. conducting preemptive strikes on govts. we just don't like for one reason or another...... and you respond with a comment about how we have a right to pick our allies. Of course we have a right to pick our allies. How about the right to conduct preemptive military strikes against governments we believe might eventually become a potential threat? Chuck, reread my response. I asked you the questions. I stated nothing regarding the picking of our allies. Well, then someone's using your name here, John. Here's what you wrote: "Is not the 'picking of allies' part of the shaping of circumstances which you find so abhorrent? Is not the picking of allies in our fundamental interests? Is it our right to pick our allies? Chuck, these are all things you find arrogant!" Doug, read the paragraph. Are they interrogative or declarative sentences?

You righties are talking about which country we need to go blow the hell out of next, right? It would seem to me that if you thought war was bad, then you'd not want is in one....or more, especially when there has been no real evidence that we needed to go there. Again, could you please show me where a conservative said that war was grand? No, none of your statements above is 'right'. John H None of my statements are right?? Let's see, then, so you DON'T support Bush's war with Iraq? You conservatives AREN'T talking about which country to to go blow up next? I could cut and paste this one all day from just this newsgroup! Now again, if you bunch of conservatives admit that we shouldn't be in this war, then I will take back the statement that I think conservatives think war is grand. Basskisser, did I ever say I was a conservative? John H On the 'Poco Loco' out of Deale, MD on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay! John, you may or may not know this, but some things can be IMPLIED with a very high certainty. If you meant to say "probability" instead of certainty, you may be correct in your statement. Implication does not provide a probability of 1, which is required for certainty. I don't know myself if I'm a conservative or not. I agree with some of the 'liberal' positions and with some of the 'conservative' positions. If I must rant and rave and lie and exaggerate to be a liberal, then I guess I'm not one of those. If I can't donate to a charity and be a conservative, then I guess I'm not one of those. I do find that you and some of the others who follow your thinking make statements which are easily refutable, if not downright ridiculous. It is fun to challenge some of the stuff you post. It's also true that some of the 'conservatives' (tuuk, for example) make ridiculous statements. They also are fun to challenge. You tend to make your own made up implications of anything that's posted. Then you argue against the implied statements you made. Can you see the humor in that?

... Chuck, reread my response. I asked you the questions. I stated nothing regarding the picking of our allies. Well, then someone's using your name here, John. Here's what you wrote: "Is not the 'picking of allies' part of the shaping of circumstances which you find so abhorrent? Is not the picking of allies in our fundamental interests? Is it our right to pick our allies? Chuck, these are all things you find arrogant!" Doug, read the paragraph. Are they interrogative or declarative sentences? They're obviously acrylic. |

I think that you and Chuck are both pretty astute individuals, and you know where those questions were leading. So I won't press for an answer any more.

Before we start arguing the merits of each individual article on the
site, I think it's fair to discuss the principles of the organization. We started with your comments shaping circumstances for favorable outcomes, which you found arrogant. However, from later posts it seems you agree with that statement. John H On the 'Poco Loco' out of Deale, MD on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay! Good grief, John. Is that a Belgian Waffle? |
