I deny 'going after him.' Please quote where you think I've been mean or unfair.

Don't play dumb with me don. Go read your responses to his posts. Rob's too nice to give you the "..go fuck yourself.." that you would have gotten from me for this little slice of parental bullshit...

I do not regard the debate as pointless. Not at all. I consider it important to oppose the 'kill 'em all' sort of war-reaction. Important enough to sacrifice your kind regard to do it.

DQ you really do not listen do you? I know exactly who and what I am all too clearly believe me. Perhaps the brain cells were His way of compensating for the body, for all of my life I have been unable to lift my left arm above shoulder height. Despite leaving school after completing tenth grade I have made my way in this world with no help from anyone simply because anything I was given I earned.
So here I am an 84 year old man whose body shows signs of the miles put on this chassis, but Alzheimer's can get stuffed. In those years I have been married twice (and have been most fortunate in the second one). Raised a son anyone would be proud of and given a woman the happiest years of her life - and mine as well. So when it is time for me to stand before judgement I am not too worried.
Have I hurt others in all those years? Most likely I have and have been hurt by others. Quite possibly because neither of us had a choice at the time. But I have never taken a human life, I did have to have a cat put down once because his kidneys had failed but I sat with him until his heart stopped.
I do believe that I am compassionate but I do not allow that emotion to make me forgive evil deeds done by others. Someone once wrote that the best PR deal the devil ever pulled off was when he convinced the majority of people that he does not exist - they may well be right. At the moment he is leading ISIL.

I don't doubt I irritate Rob and you by pointing out contradictions, as I went on to do in the part of that post you didn't quote. When someone has called people bugs, called for extermination, called for a Trident submarine, I think it's good, and necessary, to point out such contradictions. Not mean, and not unfair.

Not my fucking old man either. Pointing out contradictions, my ass. You love this shit. It's adolescent one-upsmanship poorly disguised as adult debate.
Calling an ISIS beheader, or an ISIS rapist, or any of an ISIS beheader's or rapist's cohorts, or civilian supporters a "bug" is a complement. They are to a man...lower than amphibian shit and a waste of everybody else's good air. I don't want to give them the benefit of watching one of their beheadings...but I'll tell you what don...watching video of a cluster bomb shredding a pack of these scumbags into ground meat would have my fist in the air. The same way it goes when Patrick Kane whips one into the upper right hand corner of the net.

It is not my intention to call your entire life into question. I judge you to be an admirable and good fellow, for the most part, for what little my judgement may be worth. I just think that, like most folks, you have your defenses and blind spots, as well. Telling us that you understand history especially well, while our understanding is especially poor, is not persuasive or impressive, sorry.
BTW, I was just present for the euthanasia of a girl cat with a malignant tumor, and my eyes were not all dry. Some might make that as a mark of either noble compassion, or perhaps of sloppy weak sentimentality. But it's just normal, I'd say.

Then talk to him like one. You talk to people like you're about to ground them from their iPad for a month. WTF is it with you?

You are much better than them. You are a higher class of being, certainly.
As was mentioned above by Rob, they don't even have souls.

Perhaps not but nevertheless I have seen ample proof in the "debates" here of selective interpretations of history simply done to suit the author's bias - at least that is the only reason for it that I can see. As for defenses why would I need defenses, no one here can do me harm? As for blind spots yeah AMD can do that to you.
Oops left off the apostrophe.

WTF is it with you? You do everything you say I do, except you're a rather verbally-abusive daddy.
