Maybe it is because people know that arguing with you ( and some
others, lately) is like arguing with a brick wall.

While we're into reality checks: No one in this thread is arguing
anything I said. People are arguing what Jay said.

If by "people" you mean two trolls and an eloquent chap named
Wolfgang, I'd agree.

Otherwise, I see no argument happening here.

There is no reason to think we would. On the other hand Nikita
Khrushchev said, "We will bury you!"

I'm sure that Wolfgang and Thomas were taught that Khrushchev's
famous line was referring only to being buried "economically"... It
is to weep.

I understand how a defeated nation like Germany might subtly inflect
their history books to cast shadows on the victors -- it's human
nature to do so -- but for any German to cast such a positive light
on the SOVIETS (of all people!) is just amazing.

Possibly because they had more in common (and were allies up to 1941)
with the Soviets than to the US.

Also, consider how distorted is Japan's teaching of history to their
young; not too far from them being the victims even before Hiroshima,
and completely ignoring the "Rape of Nanking", etc.


Yeah, right.

How many kids from texas are taught what actually happened at the Alamo?

Matt,

Many trash his view, but nobody has the
courage to offer their own view.


Maybe it is because a decent view on this topic cannot be expressed in
the five or so sentences customary in a newsgroup post. Maybe it is
because this is an aviation group. Maybe it is because people can't be
bothered to pull the level of discussion from way, way down there at
the lowest possible intellectual level up to somewhere sensible.


Like I said ... nobody has the courage to offer their own view.



Maybe it's because it's pointless trying to tell you anything.

How is it that the Left ever laid claim to the "progressive liberal"
label when they are neither?

Do you mean, "How did they cover their reactionary authoritarianism?"?

Or ****ed news. I recently watched that idiot O'Reilly's interview with
Richard Dawkins. Quite amusing since he was obviously scared to death of
Dawkins. He's not so obviously circumspect with a guest often.
Of course Jay will now appear and tell me how O'Reilly mopped the floor
with him.

Jay,

Wolfgang's comments and responses tell the tale. As do yours.


If that's the level of research you consider adequate for your
statements, that explains a lot - about the statements and yourself.
Stunning!

Well, he is from Iowa, after all...
