I guarantee I never said, wrote or otherwise stated that D-Day was before the attack on Pearl Harbor. But hey, 3 or 4 neo-cons can start a false rumor and have it stick I'm sure. Post it.

You won't prove your own false allegations, even when I offer you money in a bet. So no, not gonna worry about it. I'm not the one who was fooled by the Onion. That's worse than Dreamdancer thinking that the Cleveland Show (of Family Guy) was meant to be taken literally.

Just a tip - Mad Magazine is also satire.

The comparison that you somehow skipped over when you resumed posting in that thread. You know - the one that showed the US having 16 divisions and the Russians having 173? The US having 11.400 tanks and the Russians having 45,000? That comparison?

In that region you posted? That doesn't illustrate the entire Russian military vs the entire US military. That is such a mocrocosm of each military it isn't funny. You have to be abstract or illustarte a microcosm in order to make an errant point. Show me the threat issued. Tell em how the Russians were gonna fight us as they were deep in Afghanistan. Show me how lethao they were in previous battles/wars going back to WWII where their losses were almost twice that of Germany's even after help from the rest of the world.

Well, I see you still haven't read it, then. Funny how you keep adding more and more conditions to what you'll accept as proof, Lucky.

How about you go refute what I posted - you know, actually bring somethng besides YOUR OPINION to the table for once?

What you want in an affidavit from god. All you have to do is to ask for a standard of proof that doesn't exist and you can wave your Texan flag in pseudo-victory. Of course, being a Texan, you'll execute a man on shaky evidence, but if I ask what Russia was doing to pick a fight, what kind of real threat they were to the US, how Russia was gonna pull off fighting in AFG and the US too, well, you want your affidavit or else you think you're wrong. Worse yet, all of te sudden spending becomes an issue, whereas under your heroes FR and GWB there's no issue with the 7T the debt increased under them and that isn't counting the fact that they inherited very stable deficit/debt conditions and left a hurricane.

No typo, keys weren't adjacent.

Seems they forgot to put anything in there about the keys being adjacent. Are you resorting to making up definitions to slam people now, Lucky? That's stooping pretty low, even for you. Not that people don't see right through your silly little games.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typography

TYPOGRAPHY: The arrangement of type involves the selection of typefaces, point size, line length, leading (line spacing), adjusting the spaces between groups of letters (tracking) and adjusting the space between pairs of letters (kerning). [1]


I don't see that pertaining to accidentally hitting the wrong key as you suggest. This is more like it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typographical_error

TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR: The term includes errors due to mechanical failure or slips of the hand or finger, but excludes errors of ignorance.

So your finger slipped from the 1 to the 5? Not a typo - so sorry.

Looks like ya got me there, Lucky.
Oh! Wait! Your "wiki" reference takes on an entirely different meaning when read the whole paragraph and not just what you want people to read. It is as follows:
"A typographical error (often shortened to typo) is a mistake made in, originally, the manual type-setting (typography) of printed material, or more recently, the typing process. The term includes errors due to mechanical failure or slips of the hand or finger, but excludes errors of ignorance.[1] Before the arrival of printing, the "copyist's mistake" was the equivalent for manuscripts. Most typos involve simple duplication, omission, transposition, or substitution of a small number of characters."
"Includes" doen not mean "is limited to".

So sorry your argument doesn't hold water.
Besides, I'll trust Webster over wiki any day.

I haven't read the Onion and am not familiar with it, but here's what made me think it was some extremist rag. We have the neo-con party extremists who want the 28th Amendment to be homophobically-based and they also think Obama is a Muslim terrorist and that the HC plan has death squads. So can ya blame me for thinking the Onion was some nutty RW arm?

Right, and as I posted, typography is: The arrangement of type involves the selection of typefaces, point size, line length, leading (line spacing), adjusting the spaces between groups of letters (tracking) and adjusting the space between pairs of letters (kerning).

Look at the emboldened letters in your words: is a mistake made in, originally, the manual type-setting (typography) of printed material. The act of manually typing is not typography, it's the selections of font, etc. You're trying to call a typographical error an act of typography; close but no Lewinsky.

Don't like Wiki? Dictionary.com: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/typographical%20error an error in printed or typewritten matter resulting from striking the improper key of a keyboard, from mechanical failure, or the like.

So you reached for the 1 and hit the 5.

You lose and quit making it worse by:

- Lying
- Trying to make us believe that typography is the same as a typographical error.

Here's a little help so you can understand what a strawman argument is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

A straw man is a fallacy in which an irrelevant topic is presented in order to divert attention from the original issue. The basic idea is to "win" an argument by leading attention away from the argument and to another topic.

So even if I'm adding on conditions, that isn't leading you to another topic. You're welcome.

You said we were ramping up for Europe in 1940.

Yes, we were ramping up for Europe in 1940, actually spending had increased 2-3 years before that. Ramping up for doesn't mean fighting, it means: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ramp+up

Verb 1. ramp up - bolster or strengthen; "We worked up courage"; "build up confidence"; "ramp up security in the airports"
work up, build up, build
increase - make bigger or more; "The boss finally increased her salary"; "The university increased the number of students it admitted"
work up, build, build up, progress - form or accumulate steadily; "Resistance to the manager's plan built up quickly"; "Pressure is building up at the Indian-Pakistani border"


Your welcome. And your chronology of me saying:

- Ramp up for Europe in 1940

- Pearl Harbor Dec 7, 1941

- D-Day June 6, 1944 (2 1/2 years after PH)

Where is the flaw? Did you realize you stepped in it?

History lesson No.2: Spending had increased because of the lend-lease act. Roosevelt wanted to build up our military but people (much like you) didn't feel Germany or Japan were a threat.
In 1940 we were not at war. We were not preparing for war. We were giving Great Britain a hand with some equipment. I know because my dad was in the Merchant Marine and helped deliver the goods.

I need not admit ignorance of Pearl Harbor. I got straight As in high school and college in all my history classes. Even worked as a TA for a history prof.

Being the Onion I can't tell for sure. Is it satire meant to be total sarcatism, but with a flair of real intent? I'm sure the Onion would say it's pure sarcasm, but they really mean it.

At first I thought this thread was a swing at people who criticize Jon Stewert for attacking republicans and then saying that he's just a comedian to blow off people who would argue with him.

Now I realize this thread is just another you-said/I-said, get a dictionary, learn to read, prove it/it can't be proved, your sources suck, cluster-fuck amongst shit-festivals.

So you transpose that I wouldn't think Imperialistic Japan wasn't a threat even after they were eating up all teh South Pacific countries after WWI? And that Germany wasn't a threat even tho they were eating up W.E. with Italy? Nice, don't see how you go that, but the truth is you won't tell me how you feel 1981 USSR was an active threat, all tehy were doing is wasting their time and resource in AFG, so how are they a threat to the US? I mean, if they were planning an attack, they wouldn't waste their resource in AFG, right?

Congress Enacts Draft
Congress appropriates $16 billion for defense needs, and enacts the first peacetime draft in American history.

--> September 3, 1940
Roosevelt Aids Britain
President Franklin D. Roosevelt makes a deal to give Great Britain 50 destroyers in exchange for naval bases in Newfoundland, Bermuda, and sites in the Caribbean and the South Atlantic.

--> October 29, 1940
Draftees to Camps
The first draft numbers are drawn, sending thousands of draftees to drill camps all over the country.

Peacetime draft, moving ships to Europe as I said... no, we weren't RAMPING UP FOR WAR IN 1940, no, no, I see no evidence of that.
