Georgr:

By refusing to acknowledge that there is such a thing as "objective
truth," you are ceding much of what it means to be a rational human being-
and for that, I pity you. You will never know the joy of rational inquiry.

Much of what separates Man from the Animal Kingdom is the awareness of
Truth- and the joy in its pursuit.

Of course I will let you have the last word- your kind needs it so very
much; you have little else.

And besides, this whole thing is so far off topic I am beginning to
despair of ever getting the newsgroup back.

who don't see things the way you do, and they're not necessarily wrong
just
because they differ with you.

But sometimes they *are* necessarily wrong. People arguing that
something
is a war crime when what they're arguing about doesn't meet that
definition
means those people are wrong. Period.

You might be right and you might be wrong, and putting "Period" at the end

your comment doesn't mean that the matter's been decided. You might wish
it'd
be that way, but that's not the way it works.
