"....afraid?" This thread was designed for rational discourse toward understanding the affairs of the world. You have provided some interesting articles, which is good but we can all read a news paper. These articles could/should be good sources of discussion on circumstances and events in the world. However, you've demonstrated either an inability or unwillingness to engage in any exchange of ideas where you stand behind any sort of principled position. In place of civil discourse you manage only to bash, threaten, and cast venomous demeaning strikes at other members of this thread. In the process, you expose your self as not much more than an ignorant and frustrated bully. The labels you've cast in my direction might be interesting if they were in any way accurate. You are so far a foul, you manage only to make a ridiculous spectacle of yourself. Ward Churchill, for example, is someone for which I have provided several long treatments exposing his fraud and cowardice reaching back a couple of years. Identifying me with him is ludicrous and obviously so, to anyone who can follow trains of thought (not suggesting you do any sort of thoughtful consideration here). Afraid, of what ruffian? I've already answered that question for you more than once. But you've demonstrated no receptive abilities when it comes to information coming from others, so I don't mind answering a simple question for you more than once. I am not afraid of you, I am afraid of nothing in this experience except the loss of my eternal soul. Your threats to drag me behind your pickup, to come after me, and now this vague implication that I might be horrified by what you bring me in Private, although informing, are not a source of fear for me. What is a source of fear for me? … "when they should be afraid of spiritual corruption and cowardice." … My own that is, not yours. Message 24094537 I prefer to share personal information in PMs with posters who've earned my trust. I have no problem saying what I honestly feel on the public thread, as you may have noticed. Whatever you think I have to fear in a PM is beyond me. The fear seems to by in your own mind as you clearly react as a bullying coward would when your ideas are challenged, rather than standing up like a man of honor and put them to any credible test. Nope, you resort to name calling, character assassination, and threats. What are you afraid of, that you might learn something? If not, stand up like a man and start engaging thread posters in rational discourse as a decent and civil human being. Your choice of course, feel free to behave as you wish.
