Air France? Ptui!

Nonsense. Whatever the outcome of the war, we would have had trading
partners. After all, we trade with Japan and Germany now.


Absolutely. Trade is a two-way street: other countries need our
commerce as much as we need theirs.

I'm sure by now you know that Americans are not taught about
the full extent of Russia's contribution to WWII?

Other than being there to defend their own country, what was the
contribution?


By defending their own country, they helped to defeat our common
enemy. Without the Eastern Front consuming men and resources, the
burden on the rest of the Allies would obviously have been that much
greater.

Once we have them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow.

No. Merely ignorant.


Having a sense of humor makes me ignorant? "This new
learning amazes me, Sir Bedevere!"

Not to put too fine a point on it, but speaking of names,
is yours "Padraig?" Didn't think so.

A good slogan encapsulates a clear thought; a bad slogan is used as a
substitute for thought. Yours is a bad slogan.

Not so much that, as your misrepresenting my position so as to make
your point.

I interpreted what you wrote the same way Tchiowa did. If those
things aren't your position, then what is? This would be an excellent
opportunity for clarifying, and therefore strengthening, your argument.


Go peddle you distortions to idiots who are prepared to buy them.

Tchiowa slimed you, Padraig. He's got your number, and out to ten
significant figures, at that. But you're too chicken**** to own up
to what you wrote.

Rubbish. He misrepresented what I said. That's all. I do not owe him
or you any clarification.

You're proving my point. If you'd actually bothered to pick up a
newspaper at any point in the last four or five years, you'd know that
your ****-in-chief is a complete failure *as a conservative*. True
conservatives should boot him out of office simply for his disastrous
running of your economy, never mind his dragging you into an illegal and
unjustifiable war.

That was nifty.

Magda natters:

You don't have any humour, Gege; you are just irremediably stupid.


If I'm so stupid, then why did you never get back to me with the
requested point-by-point rebuttal?

All you can do is toss out unimaginative playgound insults. Truth
be told, you're really nothing more than a walking sperm cuspidor,
a life support system for a vagina.

Padraig Breathnach coughs up a lung oyster:

If they're really distortions, then you shouldn't have any qualms
about pointing out specifically _why_ they're distortions, should
you?


Rubbish. He misrepresented what I said. That's all.

How? You can't say, can you? My morning flatus was more substantial
than your ridiculous posturing.


I do not owe him or you any clarification.

Let the record show that Padraig is unable to defend his position,
and therefore forfeits the debate. Poor little fellow...

"LOO-zer! LOO-zer!"
