Actually... when you refute someones position in an overtly hostile manner, it is arumentative. If you drop the hostility, it will become discussion like most other people's responses.

Fyron even called me "partisan" because he disagrees with all my postitions but of course he not a partisan

It miust be nice knowing what everyone else thinks and believes. I have not actually posted anything that would support such a statement. What I have posted that I disagree with is your attitude and manner of "discussion".

And for the record, Bush did lie. It is called propaganda, part of waging war. Every war fought throughout history has been filled with propaganda. Propaganda is by its very nature at best a half-truth. You can not fault someone for employing propaganda. You can certainly fault them for their real reasons for going to war, but not just the fact that they lied. Lying is what being a leader is about.

You're right Fyron I don't know what you think or believe all I know is what you write in this forum. My assumption is that you are being intellectually honest and what you write reflects what you think.

I have reread all my postings in this thread and there is not one hostile word leveled at anyone (on this forum). I think you may percieve them to be hostile because they are the opposite of your positions (that's what I think anyway). On the other hand I took the partisan comment to be hostility aimed at me.

So with that said I challenge you to find a position that I have staked where you DO agree with me. If we disagree on every political position written in this forum and I am a "partisan" then doesn't that make you a "partisan" too?
