Did you follow the link? This work was created as fiction that was distorted into fact. you state:
"Silly land grabs and commodity wars"? Silly? I guess that's one way of putting it. Indeed ideology is the biggest killer, and it certainly has a very great deal to do with "silly land grabs and commodity wars", which is in fact what his thread is all about. /* this was what the thread was about, that has evolved. you state: */We're all entitled to our opinions, and entitled to express them too, but when you're attempting to discredit someone else's view, which he's provided some substantiation for, it needs a little more than just an opinion and a contemptuous slap-aside. *are you saying "the Protocols" are legitimate? I must admit, I've never heard of Godwin's Law, and I've lost by that standard, but when if not in this case is it appropriate to mention the Nazi's or Hitler? Is is that these things should never be spoken of, or better yet forgotten? You state: *A couple of comments: First, because you personally find it ugly and hateful does not necessarily mean that those were its intentions - you assume that, fail to examine it, fail to establish it, and then lash out on an unsubstantiated basis with a personal attack. *My attack was substantiated by the using "the Protocols" as a basis for his argument which further my claim that his arguments are ugly and hateful. you state: */* */By the way, "Lucifer" means "bearer of light", it was Satan's name and role before the Fall. *I did not know that, but i believe my point was clear. Keith, did you choose not to post my replies to others yesterday? or was it part of list technical problems yesterday? I still value my right to express my opinion, although you may not agree with me on other issues or the way I express myself, i know you we share at least that common value. -Arthur * Keith Addison wrote: >Hello Arthur > >You lose! > >I suppose it's no big surprise that a thread such as this should hit >Godwin's Law, but it sure didn't take you long. > >In case you don't know it: "Godwin's Law prov.
