Dear Ted: The administration did not apologize. Since you see it there somewhere, you must get an F for reading comprehension. Where does the word "apology" appear? Where does the admission of responsibility for the collision exist? And please use the exact wording used. I have shown that your quote of dictionary was misused. Knowing how to use a dictionary with precision is needed when arguments of this type arise. You have shown why it is so difficult for a computer program to comprehend the meanings behind text as knowledge of context is quite vast and difficult to program with all of the nuances. In the realm of mathematics, definitions are key. Incorrect use of them is one of the first things checked. Without that type of scrutiny, you can show 1 equals 2, which is an impossibility. It always comes down to an incorrect use an axiom or definition at some point. Saying something is there does not make it so. You have yet to prove that either the word apology is there or that responsibility for the collision is taken. The last argument you used was shown to be in error. Try again, or accept that it is missing. Pete

Again, you and Scumbria seem to be very adept at twisting words to suit yourselves. Just as you're twisting this whole incident to fit in to your views of the world instead of seeing it for what it was. If you ever wanted to I'm sure you could land a fine job with the Chinese propaganda machine. Heck, you 2 could be a translators for them since whoever translated the letter from the missing pilots wife made a mistake and thought one of the kanji meant coward when it really meant something quite a bit different. I never claimed to be an expert on Asian cultures. What I said was, "I'm just a person that's been throughout the Asian area for a good chunk of my life and I'm familiar with some of the cultures. I'm also familiar with the realities of the area." That's hardly claiming to be an expert on Chinese culture don't you think? Now, before you make up something else to suit yourself, the realities that I'm talking about are the military realities and that's something that you and Scumbria obviously now nothing about first hand. As far as ignoring anyones comments, I wasn't aware that either of the 2 people you mentioned directed a response to me. I don't read this entire thread every day, especially when the market's like it was today. I respond when I feel like it, I don't post just to be prolific.
