Whispering Legs likes to justify American policy by saying other countries are worse!

Edit:

Really, no point to this...let's change the topic.

"Hitler is worse than Castro, so Castro isn't all that bad". That's actually my argument, even though I don't agree with the whole two wrongs making a right thing. (Kind of like my mock thread being based on Whispering Leg's thread doesn't make it right...:))


I think there are degrees of badness.....

Adolf Hitler was a nice guy because...er... Gengis Khan was worse!

On a more serious point.

Two wrongs do not make a right.

This goes for this thread and everythign in general.

There's a board called "Moderation". Try it. This is not very nice.

Although it is a good point.

And im not sure waht moderation would want with a thread like this.

This thread really has no point other than to mock WL's penchant for trying to start a fight with Zep.

Lock away.

Damn Communist! :D

Just the whole "starting a fight with Zepp"-thing. What's the term? Flamebaiting?

Agreed...I shouldn't be singling someone out. I apologise.

But we can change the topic to the idea of two wrongs = right...it's a pretty common argument.

Legless...I am suprised at your compassion! Seriously, I am!

Just that from my experience with you, you don't take much very seriously (or seem to). Mind you, my experience with you is limited, so whatever:) And, by the way, what gender are you? I just assumed male...

The whole "Pirates" thing makes you think I'm male isn't it? It's true that I am, but in ye good olde days there actually were a lot of female pirates (and even pirate captains) too. I've heard of a captain who ran a whole topless female crew.

It's possible to have a rational discussion, and name who you would like to have a rational discussion with. Especially if they have a reputation for being rational.

Zepp strikes me as rational.

I would hardly think that's flamebaiting.

I think Legless was referring to MY post as flamebaiting...not yours. And he's right.
