georges said:a) I didn't need that you said that I seemed to be a student. Because I am not a student anymore.
I did not call you a student. I said you seemed like a student of history. It is a figure of speech. It means you seem to know your history. It was meant as a compliment.
b) Again you say "You seem". Do not make that kind of statement on me,because you personnally don't know what I think and with what I agree or disagree.
I know what are my feelings,there are some things that were done in a wrong manner and others in a good manner.
I say you seem because I cannot know what you are thinking. So I say 'you seem' to mean what it reads as. 'You seem to mean...'
c) You always say "You seem" that is misleading because you are trying to imply something which isn't or doesn't correspond to the truth. Better drop your seem comments on my person.
About my sentence against terrorism,it is my personal belief which I am entitled to. If I am a poster boy for the Bush administration so you are a Kerry spokesperson. But I won't make that comment because it is not good to put a sticker on someone, that is too easy. When someone expresses himself in a strong manner then he is criticized. But there is a constructive way of criticism and there is disruption. What is disruption:an attitude that tends to break the rules and be irrespectful against the others. You are allowed to express your thaughts but not to insult and flame persons.
For your information, I am always standing by what I write.The very old members will tell you that.
- I am not a Kerry fan. As I have said on numerous occasions; I was in the anybody but Bush camp.
- Georges, I think I treat you with as much respect as you warrant. I also believe that I treat you with as much respect as anyone else on this site. I do not believe you do the same. Nothing I have said to you so far (as far as I can remember) was said out of malice or was (again as far as I am aware) inaccurate.
[d)In a military magazine. By the veto, I meant that the U.S. can oppose itself to the U.N. resolution and has not to wait U.N.'s order for taking decisions and actions.
e)Petain, he and the vichy regime scumbags have dirtied the honor of France.
Sorry if I have been that touchy but you presented France as a country that surrendered without mentioning because of who it surrendered in 1940 and why was it defeated in 1870.
France was defeated in 1870 and 1940 beacuse Germany was far stronger militarily then France was. And, at least in 1940, used far more effective military tactics then France did. I did not think I needed to tell a Frenchman the obvious.
BTW, you still haven't answered my question. Name me a fact that proves that the world is better off today because of the Iraqi invasion. Or are you not going to answer that one? If you can't, fair enough though. And I will let it go.
before saying something prejudiciable on someone you don't know weight the consequences of your words and stop thinking that you know me PERSONNALLY because you don't know me at all.
