In my bit to reduce global ignorance, I have looked up the following big words RELYING on the Oxford Dictionary, that you used. Rhetoric :- Art of presenting words impressively Thanks Chad. I didn't realise you were impressed. Repeated :- occurred more than once. I did not repeat myself. Ignorance :- lack of knowledge. For example not knowing the meaning of the words you write. >> Just because you believe something doesn't make it true, > and just because you say something over and over, also, doesn't make it > true. Gee thanks Grandma, can you tell me the truth now...... >> If you care about the truth, you must carefully determine the truth > with logically valid methods. In your post you implied that I was ignorant and now you imply I am lying. You are hereby strucken from my christmas card list. >> In particular, please refrain from > encouraging the irrational hatred of organizations such as the US military. Critiscism is not irrational hatred. What irrational Hatred am I encouraging? Does critiscism make me a Terrorist. The use and supply of weapons against civilians to further my ends in the world would be irrational hatred and terrorist. Bombing, strafing and the murder of unarmed civilian crowds in Somalia (The author of blackhawk down describes this in his book) is Irrational hatred and more. Opposing the design and production of satanic devices that make this possible is NOT irrational hatred, it is a logical valid method to oppose people who betray Humanity.
