I understand what you said! The rest of the world understands

modified,
and clarified 25 times, is rick, and he may never choose to
acknowledge
your first apology, or the modification of your second
"declarative"
statement. That may mean that he is not a nice guy with civil
manners!
So what, the longer you continue with him, the lower into the
mud you
sink. It is up to you whether you choose to get out of the
mud!


Unless I am having fun with it Tinkerntom, and not actually on
the verge of a nervous breakdown because some twit has a hard

=====================
ROTFLMAO What a hoot!! Where have I ever said that fool?


I really don't know what your problem is, that much is true.

I'd
bet I spend far more time in Canada than you do in the states.
It's you that has proven you hate of anything US, and your
unnatural devotion to anything Canadian despite its cost in
Candaian lives.


I was born in Evanston, Illinois. If not for the large number of "more guns,
more jesus" crowd, I might like to live in the US again. I love NYC and
think it is one of the greatest places on earth.

I fully understand the trade-offs in Canadian health care. Like a lot of
Canadians I'm advocating for even more resources for our health care system,
and it is happening, although more slowly than I would like. But I much
prefer what we have to a system where poor people and/or minorities get
inferior treatment to rich and/or white people.

I think I can speak for a lot of people here on RBP, at least
in
regards to this issue, your reputation is intact, and noone
thinks less
of you for your mis-speaks.


You just mis-spoke yourself.

In the current disagreement, rick is alleging that I claimed no
one in Canada waits for treatment. That is 100% false. I never
said that.

======================
Yes, you did, and I have shown you where.


No, you haven't. You showed me where I disagreed with you about whether or
not the people in Newfoundland were waiting 2.5 years for treatment. I never
said that no Canadians wait for treatment. If I had said that, obviously you
would have posted my quote to that effect, but you can't, because I never
said it, and you know it. You are a liar and a scumbag.

In the previous disagreement, I tried to pin rick down on his
ramblings against Canadian health care and did not word me
question to him very carefully. I would not call that a
"mis-speak" either, it was just a carelessly worded question,
and I apologized as promised.

=====================
No you did not, not in any post I saw


That's because you are too busy being a scumbag and showing the world what
an asshole you are - 100 times over! LOL.

as I have explained to you, mu opionion is that the doctor
in the article does not know what the boys problem is, and
needs
the test to determine his course of treatment. That you
continue
to be so jingoistic in defence of the indefencable is what is
truly amazingly willful ignorance.


Whatever you take from that article, I never said that no one
in Canada
waits for treatment.

==============
Yes, you did. That you have now admitted your ignorance is fine,
and we can move on to the rest of your lies, eh liarman?


You are a liar, a scumbag, and a coward for refusing to
admit that your accusation is false and apologize.

====================
Nope. I have posted nothing but the facts, liarman. You, on the
other hand, have posted nothing but your willfully ignorant spew.

That would be nice, and I would find it easier to find KMANs

of "stuff" that at this time I choose not to wade through. I am
sure
there are many things that would be much more profitable to
discuss! As
far as I am concerned, he apologized satisfactorily to rick
regarding
the first issue, and also posted modifying and clarifying info
regarding the second tiff, which should put the situation to

rest.
Regarding "r's" intransience, that is something that probably

will
not
change, and any apology that KMAN expects from r is unlikely.

TnT

I know, but at least the whole world now knows - without a doubt -
what a

==============
Esopecially since I have nothing to apologize to him about.
he
has yet to offer his apology though, the one even you said he
owed.



TnT


rick I will venture one more time into this morass.

==================
thanks..

I am not sure
exactly the source of all the confusion. So if you are willing
to work
with me, I will try to be clear, fair, and understanding. I am
posting
using Google as a web access to the RBP archive, and all the
relevant
posts are numbered. The particular post including KMAN's
apology is
#1208 when listed in order of date. And currently #478, though
that
number is subject to change, when listed in order of reply.

==========================
It's the right number, however the reply he made was not to me.
It was a reply to you, and does not say he is apologizing to me.
It looks more like he is apologizing for bad wording. But as it
is, since it was never in a post to me, and it was buried down in
a post to you, I did not see it.


I don't
know if your news server keeps track of this info in the same
way, or
even archives the discussion at all. For that reason, if you
are unable
to find this post on your server, I would suggest that you go
to the
web accessed, Google archive of RBP, and affirm that indeed
KMAN did
post the following post. In the date an time of the post, I
have also
seen discrepancies develope, the source of which I am unsure,
it could
be different time zones.

I have copied below a post by KMAN on 3/1/05 at 8:24 PM. In his
post, I
have removed the delimiters so that Kman's apology should stand
out. I
realize that there is alot of other stuff included in this
post.
However, THERE IS AN APOLOGY IN THE MIDDLE OF IT!!! I regret
that KMAN
did not issue you an apology as I suggested,

=================
And to me, as he promised in several posts...


totally separate from all
this overburden, and during the daytime, when it would have the
greatest impact. However, he did issue you an apology for the
first
situation regarding the posting of evidence which you had
infact
provided, and he now acknowledged you provided as you claimed.

==================
He has to you, I found it in no poats he made to me. And others
here continue to claim the information is false.




snip restored post, as I found it on google...



Kman has as well retracted his statements regarding treatment
and
testing in New Foundland, and has attemted to clarify what he
meant to
say. He has acknowledged that what he said was not technically
correct.

==================
And I have admitted that he has changed he statement.


You say it was a declarative statement, and I agree, from
reading the
passage, that what he wrote was a declarative statemnt. Which
he has
now retracted and acknowledged that he had no grounds for
making the
declarative statement, and that it was infact technically
incorrect.

=================
Yes, I have said I admitted he now says the statement was wrong.
He, however continues to state that he never said it, period.



Now I think you know that I am largely in agreement with your
political
position, and I find KMAN willing to dump on me about my issues
at the
same time that he is asking for my testimony supporting his
claim that
you had not provided any evidence.

==================
I rather enjoyed that part. Calling on you for fairness and
impartiality, and then in the next post slamming your positions.


I went out of my way to research the
first issue, and extract an apology from him albeit, kicking
and
screaming. His duplicity is curious at best! However, he did
apologize
to you for saying that you had not provided evidence to support
your
claim, which he now acknowledges his claim as false, and
apologised as
stated above.

======================
Well, I'm not sure that the apology was to me, or about accepting
the claims, as it really appeared he was just apologizing for his
wording. But, if you think it was an apology, and an apology
about accepting the data provided, I'll accept that.



Regarding the second issue, I do not believe you necessarily
need to
apologize, since it was his misspeak again that led to the
difficulty.
Normally if people were together, a hand shake would be very
apporopriate to ameliate the hard feelings over the
misstatement of
fact on his part, which led to the current state of exchange,
however,
in lieu of a handshake, I would suggest that you acknowledge
that he
has modified his previous declarative statement.

========================
That I already have. I have already "complimented" him on
changing his tune. LOL



I do believe that you will owe him apology for the issue of
your
intransience in not allowing him to modify his statemnt
regarding the
second issue, if you continue as you have been doing.

====================
No no, I have admitted that he has changed his mind on what he
said. My only point is that he continues to say he did not make
the statement at all.


I would suggest,
to avoid this claim on his part regarding your unwillingness to
allow
him to change what he said, to what he meant to say, that you
acknowledge that he has modified his position, and hence avoid
further
acrimony and recriminations.

If you could do this it would go a long way to returning this
part of
the discussion to a meaningfull and mature discussion. This is
only a
suggestion though, since I believe that you are a mature adult,
with
much to offer a constructive mature conversation, if you choose
to do
so. Your choice!

=====================
I've been willing since the beginning. I porvided only info for
refuting his first claims, and got nothing but grief in return.
Nothing to refute what I posted, no informed Canadian sources
that would state that what I had found was in error. Instead,
just vitriol and the continued jingoistic chest-thumping that
they are so eager to claim americans are too guilty of all the
time. He could not get past his hate, and look at the issue
objectivly.



I acknowledge that the apology by KMAN leaves a lot to be
desired, with
his continuing protest, and his subsequent disparaging remarks
about
me. It reminds me of a Dennis the Menace cartoon I saw once!

Dennis is setting in the corner, obviously having misbehaved,
and as
his mom is leaving the room, you hear Dennis saying, "You can
make me
set down on the outside. But I am still standing up on the
inside!"
Well I suspect that KMAN is still standing up on the inside. We
will
see if either of you can shake hands and carry on a mature
conversation! TnT

==================
Thanks. I tried that at the beginning. It didn't get anywhere
with him, as he would never address the issues I brought up,
including more than just the dying in waitlines, and I admit it
went downhill from there. But when only one side is presenting
any data, and the other just keeps saying nah nah nah, you're
wrong, without backing it up, it's easy to go downhill.




Thanks rick for the concise, to the point, and resonable response. We
will see how KMAN responds.

KMAN, the chess game was up, did you or did you not concede? Will you
restate your concession to match ricks resonable requests


What the hell are you smoking?

Reasonable?

He's been reiterating a false accusation against me for several days now.
He's a massive scumbag and the king of the assholes too boot. He can go suck

Sorry you didn't care for the apology.

As you well know, the point of my trying to pin you down on details about
Canadian health care was to knock you off your childish unfounded rants.

Tinkerntom helped me realize that the way I worded my demand you could make
reference to people who died while waiting for a test and whether or not the
actual waiting killed them or not, you would meet the burden of proof as
worded in the demand.

Therefore, I apologized. I'm not a liar and a coward like you are.

You are insisting I said that no one in Canada ever waits for treatment and
you know I never said that. That makes you a liar, a scumbag, and a coward.

Not the Frasier Institute again I hope! LOL. That's sort of asking the KKK

But yes, there are concerns that the universality of the system is eroding,
and I would agree with that. But there seems to be a lot of will to turn
that around, and I think that will be the direction of things. The vast
majority of Canadians don't want to live in country where something as basic
as health care becomes the domain of the priveleged.

FYI, the above is the sort of thing that would be/is interesting to discuss.

Frtwz, I just sent you a response to this post by you requesting
specific question, and then rereading your post, and see that you ask
such a question. Oops!

I am also having server problems and so not sure this will post when I
get done, but will try. If you get this then I guess the server started
working again. :)

Your question, would JC endorse capital punishment today? I have
included a few scriptures following:


Gen 9:6 Whoever sheds man's blood, by man his blood shall be shed, for
in the image of God He made man.

God instituted the death penalty originally, in reference to Creation.
Murder is an affront to God, who created us in His image. If some one
kills a man, it is as if he is trying to kill God! God says that man
should die!

Rom 13:1-2 Let every person be in subjection to the governing
authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which
exist are established by God. Therefore, he who resists authority has
opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive
condemnation upon themselves.
Rom 13:3-4 For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but
for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good,
and you will have praise from the same; for it is a minister of God to
you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not
bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who
brings wrath upon the one who practices evil.

In the current era, God affirmed the continuing authority of civil
government, and that we need to be subject to that authority, which
included punishment for evil deeds, some of that punisnment
accomplished with the sword, implying death. Same theme in following
verses.


1 Pet 2:13-14 Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human
institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, or to governors
as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those
who do right.

So, yes I believe that Jesus would endorse the death penalty today as
He has through out the ages. TnT
