"Harry Krause" wrote in message And when, oh dumb one, wase the list of accomplishments of the Arab people "accomplished," as it were. More than 100 years ago. As I stated. You did not state any of the accomplishments over 100 yrs ago, you just stated : "The reality is that for at least the last 100 years, the so-called Arab states have contributed absolutely nothing to the furthering of society" It is so easy to see Harry flip flop on issues, just type in any subject in Google and you can see Harry arguing the extreme on both sides of any debate. As badly as I wanted to include the caveat "in the last 100 years" in my criticism of Arabs, I was afraid I'd tip him off to my troll. I have to say...I couldn't have asked for a better reply to my post however. He sometimes diverts course a bit, and I expected a mild rebuke in this case. But "who woulda thunk it" that he'd do a complete 180!?!? If you *had* included that time limitation in your troll, you would've snared YOURSELF. You understand why, right? No. If yes, explain why. Since the answer is "no", *you* must explain why. Here's my original post, with the 100-year caveat added: "The Arab nations hated us before Bush, and hate us even more now. **** 'em. What have they contributed to society (in the last 100 years) except for oil...which we helped them discover?" Time for you to hit the books, then. Do you know how to find your public library? What you need will not be found on the web. Negative contributions to society don't count. I obviously needed to add an additional caveat for the anal retentives: "what positive contributions have they made in the last 100 years?". Nevertheless, the whole point of the post was to express my agreement with Harry's statement from 2 years ago...and see if he changed his stance again. You're stuck on the subject of what Arabs have done to the rest of the world Not "done to", but "done for" the rest of the World. What positive contributions have they made? during the past 100 years. Reverse that, and get your silly ass to the library. |
