First you through a fit about me not equating prisoner humiliation with genocide and then when I responded you blurted out, what was that? "Get a life" like somehow if I don't buy your liberal agenda I don't have one.I have pretty much pinned down your typical response to any topic, irrational, anti-logic, liberal, liberal, liberal to the point of absurdity. By the way, a pufftah is a stuck-up stickybeet. Pure strawman, Snow. YOU are the one that said I 'equated' humiliation with genocide. I never said any such thing. You decided for yourself that my objection contained that content. What I DID say was that you downplayd the humiliation of prizoners by saying that Saddam did worse things. Try to do a little straight thinking of your own and we will all have a more civilized discussion. However, if you are just interesting is exchanging insults, I can play that game too. Let me help you: I am a Saddam-loving, tree hugging, bleeding heart, liberal commie-pinko.And you are: A Hitler-loving, environment trashing, cold hearted, right wing Nazi.Ok, now that we know eachother, let's try to stay on the topic. Well please to meet you then.I agree that I strawdogged you but take a look at your own charge in the very same breath. You say that I downplayed the prisoner abuses by saying Saddam did worse. Note that wasn't my point (though it is true and necessary to my conclusion). My point is that some people, in this case liberals and Saddam supporters, have no sense of porportion when it comes to American faults and the evil of others. Ok, one concession for another--I will accept that you didn't really intend to downplay the humanitarian atrocities.However, let's not equate liberal with Saddam SUPPORTER. I hate the things Saddam did as much as anyone. However, that is different from saying that I support the Bush SOLUTION to the problem.Also, let's also agree that not all liberals are LIBERAL on every subject or would propose the same solution to all problems, any more than all conservatives take the same postion on every issue. We tend to over-generalize when we use labels, even though it makes for quicker dialogue.My stand is that atrocities are atrocities no matter WHO commits them. A greater atrocity by one does not diminish the magnitude of the atrocity done by another. Can we agree on that? Quote
Snow Posted January 18, 2005 Author Report Posted January 18, 2005 Cal, Okay but if I accept all your conditions then it is less easy for me to demonize you with casual dismissal. Quote
