I'm capable of understanding absolutely anything, with no exceptions. In
this case, I need an explanation that goes a little further than something
resembling religious faith, but I haven't seen it yet. "You serve because
it's your duty, no matter WHAT. Period. No questions." If that last
statement is wrong, please modify it.


You obviously have no idea of the thoughts which go through the mind of
those who just received their draft notice. To explain these thoughts and
the rationale for serving, would simply provide you with more opportunity
to denigrate those who served, for whatever reason.

Unless you've been there, and done that, you are *not* capable of
understanding. Furthermore, your snide comments and innuendoes prove you
have no desire to do so.

Do you realize what you're saying here? That when you vote for a president,
you give him complete carte blanche to start a war for any reason at all,
and you'll go, no matter what the reason?

Just as I thought. You think so little of what others sacrificed so that
you can live your easy life.

What did you sacrifice for your stateside service, Bertie? Your virginity?

Harry, you are in no position to question *anyone's* sacrifices!

You're in no position to know that.

Harry, with all your talk of sacrifices and compassion, you can't make a
donation to a worthwhile cause, even with an offer of tripling it!

It's so typical of your 'debating' technique to completely disregard what
was said so you can change a thread in a direction of your choice.

If I say, "I like cookies", does that mean I'm violently opposed to the
eating of meat and would like to see grackles treated with the same respect
given to engineers and doctors?

Obviously not, John. It means you like cookies. But, you are apparently
unable to explain something which makes no sense to me. How do you teach?

No, John. You imply that you'd go to war no matter what the reason, because
it's your duty. To me, that implies that a president could say "Portugal
needs to be rearranged, just because I say so", and you'd feel it was your
duty to go. Do you expect your students to accept things with no
explanation?

I have a question for you. Is it possible that today, you
might know something I don't, and that a year from now, I
might also know the same thing?

Yes

Great! The suits who invented the domino theory knew by the
late 1960s that it was nonsense, and that's what the entire
war was based on. All presidents are the target of various
so-called scholars and shmexperts. Many of us figured out
early on that the North Vietnamese were not going to burn
their way through the south and invade Australia next. Do you
remember this nonsense?

You are intellectually dishonest.

It appears you ran out of steam without being able to explain
that statement.

I mad the assumption that you are an educated man and you would
understand. However, you have proved to be just an arrogant and
argumentative prick again!

You still haven't explained what you mean. My qualities bear no
relationship to your inability to explain yourself. I've stated
facts which history has proven out. If you dispute them, back up
your statements.

I don't have to explain what I mean, it is clear to those that do
not have clouded vision like you do.

History is not on your side. From the time Stalin consolidated his
power within the USSR the USSR was actively promoting communism all
around the world. Finally it took a man, one man, to stand up call
the communists what they actually were which put an end to spread
of communism.


And who was that one man?

You know who he was? You could call him 40.




Oh. You mean the one who snoozed through meetings with his cabinet and
security advisors. That one.


Is it better to take little snooze or receive a blow job.


I thought Bert was talking about Nancy Reagan.

I'm thinking Donnie is a coward, a "ran from America" "cry-baby". He
seems the type.

Don't you have an itchy palm that needs scratching?
Please take your unseemly behaviour to the appropriate newsgroup.

Doug, your 'debating' style is to take a statement, turn it into some
ridiculous 'implication' which suits you, and then charge off with comments
and innuendoes.

Go back to my cookie comment, and then reread your comments.
