My point was always that societies were brutal without democracy.
That may have been the point you intended to make, but it was not the original point you stated.

You seem to have a problem remembering what conversations are about. At first I thought it was just difficulty remembering what the other person had said, but now I see its difficulty remembering your own statements as well. Instead of making a statement, and then defending it, conceding, or just dropping the topic when challenged, you make the statement and then when challenged you don't respond to the challenge, shore up your original statement, or say you didn't express yourself well and then say you meant to say something else and explain what it is (or again drop the topic), instead you turn it in to one of your pet peeve topics. Almost everything becomes defending democracy (even though its rarely attacked), or talking about how scientists are liberals (even though its not true to the extent you think it is, and is irrelevant most of the times you mention it), or about how conservatives are such horrible people (again not really true and also usually of no relevance to the point under consideration).
If you don't want to reply to the topic at hand, don't reply to it. If you want to change the topic in reply then fine do that and make it clear that your are doing so. But don't change the topic and pretend that your still replying to the original point. |
