Just because you lost a political debate doesn’t mean you have to be an idiot about it, you know. You’re not going to make any friends by doing that either.

XWing, you’re down to making petty insults. Make an arguement, or don’t. Don’t act like an asshole because you lost.
I suppose you missed the first of my two sentences, Sorcerer. The argument was there. Whatever. “Obviously the only feasible explanation” for my petty insult is that I’ve lost the argument. “Rock and roll!” Wait, I don’t say “rock and roll.” Where did that petty insult come from?
Sephiroth Katana: No worries, it’s been rather fun posting today. But I’ll keep your recommendation in mind.

“Rock and roll” is an insult now? I must have missed that one.
Well it kinda is in that context, cuz you’re just dismissing him as a neo-conservative hypocrite (which, come to think of it, is preety accurate).
And yeah, XWing, SK is waaaaaay better at degrading character and destroying your very core than you are. And you’re an idiot. So, uhh, stop attacking him before you make yourself look worse.

[b]Are you sure those numbers are correct? I read in the local newspaper ( the day after ) that an Iraqi organization gave thirteen deaths and seventy-five injuries, while the military said seven were reliably dead and an uncertain number injured. I’m not disputing you, but if you have a more recent source, I’d like to read it.Xwing1056 [/b]
Nice Merlin you pulled back there.
I’m using the most common figures. There could be less, and there could be more. Iraqi sources have a little more credibility in my eyes now that they’re not under Saddam’s eye; their bias is their own. Doesn’t make them the AP, but they’re just that much more trustworthy.
Of course, with the media, my trust works like Willing Suspension of Disbelief.
Yo Xwing, you say it’s fun to make fun of us? Well right back atcha, buddy. ^.~ And since you like arguing so much, then practice applying the defenition of the word to your life.
