Deception

[Ghogiel]

You're splitting hairs. Both of those things are potential consequences of politicians/party intentions. And both have potential to take the primary lead when the need arises. I expect it is one or the other, sometimes both and neither on occasion. Circumstance and interpretation of the event. Spin. There are no definites, it almost begs a conspiracy spinster. a right winger, and buddist monk to debate it until the end of time.

 

And for the last part, bickering, hate, and all the rest, I have doubts that it has anything to do with who runs your country. Just is. You don't support my team, you aren't from around here, you wear a hat, you are different to me etc, and that can be seen as dangerous. And in the topic of politics, someone who holds opposing views and supports an opposition party, is basically the enemy, they are a visible and targetable threat to something you support. For as long as that topic is of conversation- pew pew...

I don't know why. You aren't the first person to try to amuse yourself by trying to argue a non issue with me. I just refuse to play the game.

 

As far as I'm concerned I've given my response. If you wish to continue splitting hairs you will have to do so by yourself. Have a great day.

I'm not splitting hairs. If anything I am recombining them.

Ghofiel.....kvnchrist..you are not going to keep arguing? This thread is so deceptive.... :whistling:

Midsummer nights dream III,2

Puck:

"And so far am I glad it so did sort

As this their jangling I esteem a sport. "

Oh and yes a diversion can be used political as well as deception...and has been used before :whistling:

I want to remember but i think i better not tell you because i think there will be a battle about arguments :whistling:

Ghofiel.....kvnchrist..you are not going to keep arguing?

Kinda impossible when apparently my argument is invalid.

In a nutshell. Ghogiel has been trying to hijack the original theme of the post by asking questions about how I worded it. He is trying to make a circular argument about something not pertinent to the spirit of the thread. He expected me to jump on him and I won't play his game.
