Would you be happier if I picked another warmonger?

[sirs]

Naaa, I think your position was already presented.  Backtracking at this point is unlikely to accomplish anything.  Perhaps had you picked ANYONE else but Hitler, you might not be in this little picklebox of yours

[hnumpah]

What picklebox?

I'm not the paranoid one here.

[sirs]

LOL....."paranoid"?  Ummmmm, yea, that's it.  I'm really paranoid of............ummmmmmm........something apparently.  ooooookaaaaaay

Would you be happier if I picked another warmonger?

Me! Pick me! I recommended nuking Afghanistan into glass!

Pick me!

But you'd have to have followers who faithfully defended your actions as the right ones, even after most sensible people had seen the light and realized they were wrong.

Mussolini didn't seem to fit - does he even have defenders anymore?

Lenin? Stalin? Lenin didn't seem bloodthirsty enough, and Stalin, again, didn't seem to have very many defenders anymore.

I suppose I could have just picked someone who didn't have a propensity for violence but was just plain wrong about something important but nonlethal, who still had people jumping to his defense every time someone pointed out how wrong his view was. Or I could have gone to the other extreme and pointed out how religion has probably killed more people over the years than any other cause, and yet people still follow blindly along, but I didn't want to set off a firestorm.

Besides, I like to see Sirs get his panties in a wad. Just mention Hitler in any thread where Bush is mentioned and he gets all defensive. You don't even have to compare the two directly, just compare the blind devotion of their followers to their cause.

In Italy.

LOL....While I love watching H's deflection efforts, when I've just applied the same thing H is always trying to apply to myself

[hnumpah]

Clearly delusional.

You know, S, there's no use trying to honestly communicate with you. None at all. You're determined to contradict every damned thing I tell you.

Deflection efforts my ass.

Naaaaa, only hilight the duplicity in many of your comments.  That's all.  No biggie, just a littlie.  Paranoid?  ROFL

[hnumpah]

Well, there you go folks.

I'm a fake. A phony. A fraud. A lying, conniving son-of-a-bitch.

According to Sirs, anyway, whose fall-back position whenever he disagrees with me or doesn't like being told he's wrong is to accuse me of being somehow dishonest.

Have it any way you want it, Sirs. I have better things to do than try to convince you that I mean what I say, and say exactly what I mean.

[sirs]

Well, there you go folks.  I'm a fake. A phony. A fraud. A lying, conniving son-of-a-bitch.

Strange how I never said, or even implied such a hyperbolic conclusion.  But hey, misrepresenting what another person says appears to be one of your strong suits.  Go with your strengths, I guess is the moral of this thread
