Wrong.Even my english is good enought to understand why. Your post should REPLY to "default question": Why they are idiots? "I think they are unpatriotic *because* they are idiots." -is not an answer to the question why they are idiots,it's answer to "they are unpatriotic?". Why did you like +=? "i think,98% uses it because += is good" is an answer to the other question,"are 98% uses it?",not to given question. Your phrases are simply out-of-subject! And more, sentence "they are unpatriotic *because* they are idiots." are right(does mean something) when 2 things are right: 1:all idiots are unpatriotic (else there maybe patriotic idiots,and tey may be patriotic even if they are idiots,so there should be another reason to be unpatiotic) 2:all patriots are not idiots.(from first) "they are idiots *because* they are unpatriotic" are right only when 1:all unpatriotics are idiots. and may be right even if patriotics are idiots too. I think,that Iraq War are war-for-oil, and i think so _because_(i.e. i derived my point of view from fact that-) Iraq was attacked instead of North Korea. But also, i think that, Iraq was attacked instead of North Korea(fact) because it's war-for-oil(not a fact). But i don't "i think that Iraq was attacked instead of North Korea and i think so because it's war-for-oil" because i have "Iraq was attacked instead of North Korea" as well-known fact,and "it's war for oil?" as a question. And "i think that Iraq was attacked instead of North Korea and i think so because it's war-for-oil" is a reply to the other question,"iraq was attaked instead of north korea?" ,and normal reply is "it's fact" "i think so _because_(i.e. i derived my point of view from) Iraq was attacked instead of North Korea. " are reply "why did i think that it's war for oil". Dmytry Lavrov. http://DmytryLavrov.narod.ru/voxfoge.htm Voxel 3d light in 3d fog,above fractal landscape.
