QuoteQuoteQuote. . . he chooses his words very carefully.
Uh, he frequently does not.
I think he does. I think he picks and chooses, copies and pastes, stuff from places he thinks supports his positions. Then he picks and chooses the wording of his subject lines and polls for maximum effect, or at least what he thinks will be the maximum effect.
He may or may not be as skillful as some, but I believe he certainly does things with a specific intent.
You aint'a kidding. He's a very bright guy. I got through most of what you gave me clues to. Still don't get the punch line, but it was very interesting. It's not as deserving of cavil as I first thought. ps: what's WGASA?

QuoteQuoteQuotenone of our governments are perfect...but Europe could't finish WWII without our help. We sacrificed a lot in order to do that. I don't think any country should forget WWII.
The Russians killed more Germans in WWII than did all other nations combined. I don't think anyone should forget that.
What's your point?
Commentary on his point. You have a problem with that?

Nah, I just think it's funny (not the ha ha kind) that you have a penchant for redirecting discussions when the current discussion isn't IMO to your liking.
Here we have a discussion about America's contribution to WWII in Europe. You, in turn, attempt to make it about Russia's contribution.
And yeah, I get the whole thread drift thing, but your redirects seem so consistent, especially when it's pro-America, pro-economy, pro-government, that it's hard to see them in the context of ordinary thread drift.

Re- read the title of the thread and explain why you didn't complain about the drift into "America's contribution to WWII in Europe". You seem to be very selective in your criticisms of re-direction, only whining when it is in a direction that is not to your liking. Double standards are hard to conceal.

Fear thing would still apply. In this case it's the fear of not appearing macho enough to get laid.

So the mouse threw the end of a rope down to the elephant, tied the other end to his Mercedes and pulled the elephany out of the pit.
We all know the moral of that one.

This is quite a good argument - I'll come away from voting though, through lack of decent choice. The reason it's a good article is the simple conclusion;
'...is that violent crime rates are determined instead by underlying cultural factors.'
Now people may see that's justification to prevent a gun ban. More importantly, others may see it as the reason there should be a gun ban. Perhaps not in culturally advanced countries, but in America? Definently.
For all the numerous great things about America, it's cultural issues where the nations gun control problems stem.
That's the area that should be addressed. Gun control is simply the tip of the iceberg. Need I mention examples from Afghanistan and Iraq to reiterate my point?
No need to mention those examples. First, I would suggest you tone down you condescending comments about America, then, check about the great UK contribution to the middle east after WWI and WWII. Should I remind you the whole Palestine fiasco and how poorly it was handled, and how this issue is very alive today?

Is your snide commentary representative of people in the "culturally advanced" land in which you dwell?

Should we look up every time someone from the UK has made a disparaging remark about the US, as well? I'm sure there's PLENTY of posts about 'seppos', 'bloody Yanks' and all the other snipes, slurs and insults.
I love you, Shannon and Jim.
