Yes Blaine you are amzingly dense. Perhaps you should have taken a couple of debate classes in school.

In the spirit of the Olympics, I’m going to start rating the ad hominem’s I get here, there’s one in every thread. Reviews will be based on originality, brevity, and humor.

I give this one 1/10. It’s kind of pathetic.

The protesters against the US are almost immediate.

This is the claim that needs proving. It is the positive claim: he claims that these protests exist, and are immediate. He needs to prove that this is true (easily done, 1 link to news report would be a start, a few more on various wars to prove a trend would be a killer). I do not need to prove a negative (possible, to a reasonable extent, but time consuming and even then incomplete).

I find it odd that nobody here can link to one immediate protest to a foriegn war held on American soil. Not even one.

Stick to the issue as you claim you wanted on other topics. Obviouos tactic. Again thank you for playing.

Moving on . . .

Obviously Blaine, I’m not on any mailing list of groups that call my fellow soldiers and/or veterans murderers.

That’s not what I asked. I saw many posts in the search I did that said the SAME THING you did: the peace movement was ignoring the war in Georgia and truthfully, the peaceniks are are just Anti-American.

So it’s kind of obvious I’m not asking what anti-war movement mailing list you are on, I’m asking what Republican/conservative mailing list you are on. There’s some reason you are parroting the same talking points everyone else is:

Just for starters . . . I could post a LOT more but your spam filter must be blocking my attempts to do so.

you claimed they don’t you provehave the burden of proof.

No: every philosopher or epidemiologist who’s ever weighted in on the subject claims I don’t.

Also note that your repetition of various condescending statements (“puhhhleeeezzzze”) don’t intimidate me, nor are they capable of deflating the truth of my argument.

The protesters against the US are almost immediate.

Perhaps. I’m not saying it hasn’t happened, after all, I haven’t paid attention. But I deal in facts. I’m perfectly willing to accept said proposition, after you prove it.

And instead of having someone else prove their stand you need to stop mis-dirrecting and prove your side.

Wow.

A statement that goes against the entire history of epistomology, and you make it seriously, without jest or even a hint of sarcasm.

If you claim squirrels can fly, you need to show me a picture of a flying squirrel. That’s what’s called a “positive claim.” If you claim something DOES EXIST, the burden of proof is on you.

(But as they now support the troops, we shouldn’t don’t judge their patriotism.)

I think the owrd starts with an H. You can say it. I know you can.

Before you ask, you need to show that in the length of time between now and the beginning of hostilities in Georgia (what, 4 days now?) that the organization’s you are calling out had already staged protests over some other war in Tibet, Israel or whoever else you were talking about.

P.S. And Bob, I’m serious, what mailing list are you on?

So Blaine I call Bullshit on that.
