I said: "Germany would have accepted anything other than unconditional surrender, because unconditional surrender is the worst thing known to man. It means putting oneself at the mercy of thine enemies. Enemies who tormented and tortured Germany after WWI. No goodwill expected." You said: "..." Is this a new debate strategy that I have not encountered before? The "silence as an opposition?" It seems kind of weak, but lets see how it bears out. For one, I am in total lack of surprise when there is no response to this message. Didn't you ever learn that surprise is the key ingredient to meaningful discourse? -- Who told you to think? I don't give you enough information to think. You do what you're told, that's what you do. |

Rick It's because you are a stupid idiot and are not familiar with my debate style. For me, getting to the facts is more important than being right. You humans get on top of a side or position and ride it all the way to oblivion, never wavering and never changing, even when the facts completely obliterate your argument. I, on the other hand, do not mind playing Devil's Advocate. It is apparent in this discussion that by suppressing viewpoints, such as any support at all for any Axis power, you have laid yourself bare to anyone supporting them. You have no antibodies to fight such an assault because you allow no one to speak of it, and suppress it even though it is free speech, because it makes you grumpy and unhappy that there might be an enemy position. So, wave your hands, and condemn the Axis as everything that is totally gruesomely evil and inhuman, and slowly but surely, in your inability to consider grey areas, they creep up and suffocate you in your comfortable little bed where you are happy like a clam and innocent in every way. -- Who told you to think?

It is one thing to take the position of the Devil's Advocate, and entirely something else to hold a postion based primarily on evil. I believe you are occupying the latter territory. You speak of antibodies as if they are translatable from human biology to thought but they are not. This alone marks you as a force of irrationality and non-thought. So, wave your hands, and condemn the Axis as everything that is totally gruesomely evil and inhuman, and slowly but surely, in your inability to consider grey areas, they creep up and suffocate you in your comfortable little bed where you are happy like a clam and innocent in every way. Yeah, whatever. Your use of colorful language does not suffice to disguise your lack of thought.

You speak of antibodies as if they are translatable from human biology to thought but they are not. This alone marks you as a force of irrationality and non-thought. I have German ancestry. I would like to think that this does not make me an unholy beast fit only for hard labor and slaughter in my uncleanliness. You call me evil, but are you not the one who is quite often in hysteria, caught up in paranoid delusion? I have been condemned for playing Devil's Advocate in the past and it has cost me at least one friend. However, I prefer to speak the salient points of the opposition so that they can be struck down, rather than to keep them unspoken and bothering; known but never resolved. Who are you to say that antibodies can not translate to human thought? I am more of a biologist than you are if history serves an example. As far as I can tell you are a gruff-whiskered survivalist, with a house full of hard cram rations and rum tankards filled with water instead of alcohol. You are ready for the apocalypse, because that is what you do, being ready for the apocalypse. How much does such a profession earn you? So, wave your hands, and condemn the Axis as everything that is totally gruesomely evil and inhuman, and slowly but surely, in your inability to consider grey areas, they creep up and suffocate you in your comfortable little bed where you are happy like a clam and innocent in every way. Yeah, whatever. Your use of colorful language does not suffice to disguise your lack of thought. Colorful language usually refers to the use of expletives. Are you running a smear campaign against me? You are evil and reprehensible. I bet you crawled up into your house along a tunnel straight out of hell. How many fellow demons are you in collaboration with? Does your pact of sinister evil have imps and hags in it? You are in cahoots with the worst this world has to offer and you are all after me.
