I don’t care myself. That’s between you and Mrs. Hobbit.
I bet the casualties would have been even higher if they hadn’t housed them in a specially-designed facility where the security could be tighter. Waitasec…
Yes. Sorry, I’m way late to be returning to this party.
I’m trying to view this whole thing as an attempt for me to learn history and to read as many divergent views on the subject as possible. Its such a multi-faceted, confounding issue, really, and I’m enjoying having my American preconceived notions challenged.
I feel like I shouldn’t say much because I just don’t think I’m informed enough on the topic to really contribute.
Thanks.
You, sir, are no Doper.

Shodan
Can you accuse me of that in the Pit?
Then you ARE.
Still no quote, eh Elv1s? Just your legendary reading/comprehension abilities and your word that somewhere in that essay, in some paragraph or another, it says what you claim. You don’t quote it because, well, ya know… hey look over there!
Quote the essay so that everybody can see that it clearly says what you claim. Or have you figured out if Poppendorf was a French or British camp yet?
FGIE, fair enough. i would point out though that I posted all that in your thread and some people have still gone on to reiterate their claims that I cannot disagree with or criticize Israel on anything while others, like Lucy, have attempted to challenge my factual claims without the bothersome step of learning what the hell they were talking about first. Like I said, it doesn’t really do any good and if it had been in a thread where the usual suspects were trying to hijack it to be all about me, all it would have done would be to sanction the hijack. Glad to be able to provide a rough sampling of my take on the situation for you, though.
I pointed you to the fracking link already, fool. :rolleyes: You’re not helping yourself one bit with this approach.
Do you just not know how to click, or is it a reading comprehension issue, or just the impenetrability of your shields that’s the problem here?
Do please note the absolute lack of anybody supporting you on this, btw.
So you can’t actually quote the part of the essay you claim supports you.
Not one paragraph, not one line, not one phrase.
Not one word.
Nothing.
Why am I not surprised?
Come on Elv1s either admit you were lying, admit you were too stupid to read properly and then comprehend what you read, or retract your mistake with some honor and dignity.
While you’re at it, explain how you were stupid enough to claim that Poppendorf Camp was French and it had nothing to do with British policies, and then explain why we should think that you’re able to read and comprehend text and report it honestly to us if you can’t even tell the British from the French.
Or just continue to spew pure liquid stupid and smarm.
Horse, water.
:shrug:
My bad. I assumed that anyone who’s style of argument is to scream like a banshee with PMS likely holds entirely irrational positions. Turns out, you are in favor of peace but figure the way to mutual accommodation is to shriek in frothing rage.
Not a peace with mutual accommodation, exactly. Which means not peace at all, but try telling him that.
Lucy, nice dodge (and seriously, fewer drugs if you’re at the point where text is “shrieking”, that’s some bad acid, man). But for instance, some of your idiocy was to claim that the 4th Geneva Convention didn’t clearly say what I claimed. That’s not a comment about reasonableness, it’s a factual claim. One you made without bothering to find out WTF you were talking about first. Which is what you generally do. Because you’re full of shit and a political shill and the facts just get it the way of your babbling. You’ve got all the aggravation factor of talking politics with a pothead without the upside of them at least being willing to pass the joint around every now and again.
Just one long running monologue of “Hey man, what we need is peaaaaaaace, man.”
Oh, and:
I’m not sure if you just take yourself way, way, way too seriously or if you’re just out of your gourd currently.
Do you think that I’m a diplomat, Lucy? Do you think that GD threads are secretly the final round of negotiations? Do you think that your hilarious clowning on an obscure message board makes peace more likely? Do you believe that anything that’s said, done, or has to do with the Straight Dope Message Board impacts “the way to mutual accommodation”?
Just trying to figure out where you sit on the Full of Shit <-----------> Batshit Insane, scale.
If FinnAgain spent as much time actually working for his cause as he does arguing about it on the internets, we’d be watching syndicated reruns of Hamad and Isaac, a show about a Palistinian and a Jew who dress up like women in order to live in a rent-controlled apartment, set in the fabulously prosperous and peaceful Middle East where people of all creeds work together to better humanity.
Alternatively, given FinnAgain’s apparent skill level, we’d be watching Isaac and Hamad, a reality show depicting the exploits of two nuclear war survivors putting aside their differences in order to survive in a post-apocalyptic wasteland full of gangs who just. will. not. shut up.
Perhaps its just morbid curiosity, Finn, but I am wondering: how long does it take you to refill your venom sacs after you bite?
Your honest surprise touches my heart Lucy. I don’t know how I might have reacted with venom to your kind comments about my shrieking like a banshee. Truly, you must have been surprised that my response was not friendly.
I apologize for so misreading your kindness and responding to such kind words with such uncalled for hostility.
Egotist te absolvo. Go, and sin no more.
At this point in his life, elucidator’s drugs of choice are probably Lipitor and Preparation H.
I think that’s the cleverest line you’ve ever posted! Congratulations!
Not to mention that the only “bad acid” he’s currently likely to experience is from acid reflux.
But I digress…
