Mq, Gib, and Haim look pretty honest to me, elmat ... for what it's worth, i find it easy to imagine there might be issues on which i disagree with any of them, and agree with you ... really don't lurk your thread much though, just keep this one bookmarked ... but getting to what seems to be the point of contention, looks to me like this sentence would likely be more accurate if amended thusly - ' .. Indian tribe with no prior road contact ...' - Message 26148306
Not worth flying into a rage about, imho, and that's hardly the way to counter something anyway
Really i don't see the point in having a thread focus so much on generalised nationalistic slurs [see, i have lurked in the past] ... unless maybe the rules said everybody had to change sides periodically, to keep it interesting, Jay would have to dig up dirt on the thugs in control of Peking, list all the people shot trying to escape their regime, you would have to get out there and stand up for virtuous victorian values and rah-rah for the first country to outlaw slavery instead of the last, Gib could be in charge of the imminent danger of glaciers returning, Haim would have to support the rights of the indigenous people of Palestine, Mq would explain the positives in dialectical materialism and somehow combine that with argument for gold as real money, etc ... otherwise, it gets boring, nobody ever changes their mind and has to use the same ammunition over and over again
'I'm not as young as I used to be.' - my five year old said the other day, in explanation of a change in tastes ... and it's true, she's not ... made me think though, and it seems to apply elsewhere |
