In any event, I'm going to cease responding to your attacks on me and return to the thread topic.

Lastly, if you really want this forum to be what you claim you want then start applying your standards for behavior equally, not just to the people you don't like or disagree with.  I won't be responding to this any further as you'll simply use it as "evidence" of my continuing to disrupt things.

I agree Dill should also refrain from continuing along these lines whether he is my "friend" or not.  But if "applying your standards for behavior equally, not just to the people you don't like or disagree with" is going to be standard there won't be many posters left here on either side.

Yeah, you're going to have to show me this one.  I'm sure it won't be taken out of context at all.
Sorry all, but if I'm accused of doing something I don't do I do feel compelled to point that out.

Sociopathicsteelerfan[/url]: This thread only exists to make you feel better and belittle people who don't think exactly the same way you do about everything. Pretty much every sentence in the OP screams this. A colossal waste of time to which I am only responding to ask the mods to delete it as useless for anything other than stoking a pointless argument.

Thank heaven you don't have the power to delete threads. 

And this would not be the only example of your impulse to censor "pointless" arguments either. I can cite at least two threads in which you want social-scientific comparison of conservative Islamists with conservative Americans to stop. One you started yourself in violation of the mod's injunction not to post "call out" threads. That's how determined you were to stop reasoned speech on that issue.

And then there's your opposition to promulgating knowledge about the behavior/nature of authoritarian rulers--at precisely the historical moment when it is most needed in the U.S. That's no different in principle from opposing the teaching of evolution in public schools because it challenges some parent's personal beliefs. So yes, definitely inconsistent. Regularly inconsistent while claiming others are.

"Sociopathicsteelerfan: You've always been disingenuous, and is this case are flat out lying about what I said, but yourattempts to invalidate the lived experiences of some of the men returning home from Vietnam is just flat out odious.  You also gave us a very interesting look into how something like holocaust denial starts.  I suppose when all of the poor men who had the experience under discussion have passed on more people like you can claim they lied about what happened to them and label it a myth."

So yes, another example of your inconsistency. (And FYI Holocaust denial does not start with the vetting of evidence.)
And yes, that's from the same thread where I supposedly "lied and then denied I lied" about the Myth that Vietnam vets were spit on.

(08-29-2023, 12:52 PM)Sociopathicsteelerfan Wrote: Even by your inconsistent logic this is a real stretch.  You literally posted sources saying that vets being spat upon was a "myth", "could not have happened" and was "apocryphal."  You never once said it could have happened until being called out for denying it ever did in several posts.  But to try and say this is a Nazi comparison?  Wow, I'd actually get a good laugh out of this if it didn't reveal something very sad.  Now, kindly return to spamming this thread with your separate posts.  After this gem I'm just going to leave you to it.

(08-29-2023, 01:41 PM)Dill Wrote: Well yes, and I still "literally" agree with my sources that it is a "myth" that being spit on was a common experience of returning Vets. 

(08-29-2023, 01:54 PM)Sociopathicsteelerfan Wrote: I didn't say it was a "common occurrence", hence you're claiming to address a claim that was never made.  Again, you fail.  Stop wasting our time.

I'm guessing there is considerable overlap between the group he convinced of Election Fraud

The political judgment of so many Americans has become so completely unmoored from'
grounding in fact and tradition that they deal with the error by compounding and celebrating it.

MILLIONS doing that.

In Rare instances, SOME did get spat on but i'm willing to bet that more were spit AT, as in protesters spiting at their feet than necessarily spat ON. There is also probably many that felt spit on metaphorically because they felt the Gov turned their back on them.
It was a very unpopular war the way the boys were drafted as well.
1/4 were drafted. 
The drafting was nothing more than social warfare. Rich Kids could get out of it via college deferments, or if you were married with kids or only Boy in the family. The drafting board was criticized for possibility of preferential treatment by the members over certain individuals with in the community.
Which led to public draft on TV with a capsule for each day of the year (1 thru 365). The capsule that was selected would be the ones conscripted at that point. But again, rich kids getting out of it via college deferments or married with kids.
After the war, it was changed again, now if drafted, if you are in college, you finish your current semester then report. No more college deferments and no more marriage deferments.
All i can tell you is that my father hated the way the military was treated by people when they got home.
