We got scared

[RayThom]

I didn't want to sound like some erudite, literary, snob so I "quoted" the born-in-Hollywood H.G. Wells. I felt this interpretation fit my thoughts much better than the real, more prolific, H.G. born in Bromley, England.

Duh, really Econo? No waaaaay! Well, I never did! Cor blimey!

Your claim that what was propaganda and what was not is merely a matter of opinion is dishonest crap.

Boy, you really are deficient in reading skills!

I see now. When Wells writes something that person X (say, rubato or Ray, for example) likes, he's an insightful genius. But when he writes something they don't like, he's nothing more than a lying propagandist with the brain of a toothbrush. Obvs, really

The point is not that propaganda is merely a matter of opinion. The point is that your kind kiss the likes of Wells' arses when it suits and get all righteous over the same people's pontificating drivel when it's obvious to all that it's propagandist crap.

"My kind" didn't quote Wells at all. You did. Your "kind". And you couldn't even tell that it was flagrant unthinking blind propaganda.

You point was that propaganda is only a matter of opinion. That is what you wrote. I realize that you are ashamed of it now because it is a stupid opinion, but you should admit the truth. You did say that.

Your distortions are beneath contempt

[BoSoxGal]

Okay, back to the OP.

Yesterday's events in France are more of 'we got scared'.

How on earth does the world community of reasonable people grapple with ISIS? Talk about your insanely distorted religious belief systems.

Two thoughts, from the other thread:

if we are going to fight, we should not do it with anger, fighting angry makes you careless.

when I was fighting I always tried to make my opponent as angry as possible, if I had the time. anger makes you reckless and careless and less effective as a fighter.

And

Lead through the head. Ideas follow.

Nah. The solution is to prevent the ideas from getting into the heads in the first place. Saves lead, too.

Abolish religion and mandate therapy for all kids, to weed out and treat the personality disorders and illnesses early?

So..., you re a scientologist?
