Boston Bombing

Not an unexpected response. Kind of typical, really.

Okay, I'll play one more time. There's nothing on TV now that I care to watch, so I shall try to provide some additional entertainment for Von Gruff and others in the horde.

So, polite sarcasm is also beyond your ken.

I recognize sarcasm, but I think there is nothing polite about it. That's rather like delivering a "polite" insult.

Additionally, if you believe that I’m agreeing with your main points, the evidence seems to indicate that it is not I who suffers from poor comprehension.

If you're not suffering from poor comprehension, then it must be your memory that's faulty. Here's what you and I wrote.

ME: The "American way of life" has been continually evolving during the last 200-plus years.
YOU: Yes, the American way of life has always been in flux.

It sure looks to me like agreement with my main point.

Weren’t the NAZIs homo sapien sapiens? Are we then to claim that their way of life was no less sacred than ours, or any of those who fought against them?

Uh, weren't the Nazis primarily Germans? Apparently you've forgotten that the discussion was about the American way of life, not the German.

Relativism is a disease, bud, and you gots it.

If you're referring to moral relativism, I defy you to show where I even mentioned morality of any issue. You can't, because I didn't. If you believe I did, then you're back to poor reading comprehension...or maybe hallucination.

You seem to think that we have no particular right to fight for the values we treasure because values change and ours are no better than anybody elses.

I said no such thing. What I actually said.

ME: You don't have to accept it as destiny. My point is that you may not be able to prevent it.

Ah, the old statement in a vacuum argument. Cognitive disconnect at its finest. Here’s a tip. At some point, you’ve got to admit that each thread in each forum does not exist in a separate universe, devoid of any connection with the rest of the threads/posts made by those people involved. I’m pretty sure, in fact, that you already know that, and your nonsense here is just sophistry. At least I hope so. You don’t really expect each of us to regurgitate the whole long litany that’s been posted in thread after thread simply because you demand it, do you?

Do you really expect me to read through [SIZE="5"]277[/SIZE] threads in order to search for that "whole long litany" of complaints??? Get serious.

The reason I didn’t go down the long list of particulars earlier was that it’s all been posted and established elsewhere, and in venues where I seem to remember you were present. Have you forgotten?

Sadly, yet again you appear to be experiencing hallucinations. Here are the threads in which I've participated:

A quick reading of each shows little in the way of particulars.
