It's hard to understand when you say "it is a violation of international law" at one point and "Criminal has a different meaning than illegal" at another. It sure seemed like you were using "criminal" to mean "someone who has broken a law," but now that you've said, "Criminal has a different meaning than illegal," I no longer know what you mean. |

| Wow. Do you do this to everyone here, or am I lucky for some reason? Do you even know what you're talking about or why you ask such ridiculous questions? |

Let's see, first Gorgo tries to hijack the thread. He gets called on that effort, and the suggestion is made that he start a new thread. He acknowledges what he's doing, then just goes ahead and hijacks it anyway. He repeats his standard rants, complaining somewhat ambiguously about criminals and illegal acts. He's asked to clarify what he's saying, but instead of taking advantage of an opportunity to actually make his point, he tosses out some smart mouthed retorts. Asshole? Perhaps, unless he truly doesn't realize what he's doing, in which case it may be that he just has some serious problem with his general ability to communicate.
Gorgo, people often find you quite difficult to understand. And it's not them, it's you. It's been suggested before that you get some help with your communication skills. There must be some remedial reading and writing courses available at your local community college. Many communities even offer such courses for free as part of various adult education programs. If you're really not just being an asshole, you'd do well to get some help. Then when you're trying to make a point, people might actually understand what you mean.

YO: I'm sure no one who's contributed to this thread needs to be reminded of the intent of its origination: that Keith Olbermann said some very important truths about George W. Bush the other evening on his MSNBC Countdown program......except, maybe, for Gorgo.
Focus, focus, focus.
OY!

As it is inaccurate to say that Clinton did nothing, the question posed by the FOX interviewer was to embarass.
It may be inaccurate to say it, but as I recall, Wallace didn't say it he asked the question that was on people's minds. He gave Clinton a chance to answer his critics. Olbermann's self-righteous attitude and calling Wallace a coward for that is completely ridiculous and foolish. How can you people stand even to watch the guy, even apart from the fact that he's defending a criminal? |

Thank you. People read things into what I say that aren't there because of the subjects I talk about. They don't pay attention very well, and they don't understand because they're used to thinking a certain way. Again, please explain to me what Dave's question is and how you would answer it. Otherwise, you may think you're helping, but, like Dude, you're only sniping. |

Baloney. First off, it was an ambush. But Clinton did try and try to answer while Wallace interrupted over and over again. That is what lead to it heating up since Clinton would not let Wallace stop him from answering. What happened is Wallace didn't like what he was hearing and tried to move to another subject and Clinton refused to let him run over his attempt to answer…

The quotes above don't use the word criminal...
The quotes I posted were to show the context in which you're saying that the word 'criminal' doesn't necessarily mean illegal. I agree that it doesn't, but it's not obvious from your posts that you were using the word to refer to anything but actual illegal acts. In how many of your posts may we replace the word 'criminal' with the word 'condemnable' and have your meaning remain unchanged?
[/quote]
Reading this again. How many of my posts in which I don't use the word criminal, can we replace the word criminal with the word condemnable and have my meaning remain unchanged? Is that the question? |
