Joe Offer BS: Easter Rising - April 24-29, 1916 (1327* d) RE: BS: Easter Rising - April 24-29, 1916 07 May 16


Yeah, but when all we hear is that some poster is a liar, we don't learn anything. Better to lay off the accusations, and use the "lies" (if that is what they are) as an opportunity to further explain the truth. Accusations of lying, are just not interesting. I wish Mr. Trump would learn that.

I'm still trying to sort all this out. I think people are pretty accurate when trying to present their perspective of an issue. However, there's something in human nature that makes us unable to present the other party's perspective with similar accuracy. My tendency is to side with the Irish rebels, but I know that rebels tend toward absolutism in their belief in their cause. I also know the British to be extremely decent people, not likely to oppress if they actually realize that they're being oppressive. But still, the British played a major part in the Highland Clearances in Scotland, and in the oppression of the Irish. So, I'm still trying to make sense out of all this.

I cringe every time I hear the "liar" accusation. I really respect Barack Obama, and I was shocked when a Congressman shouted out "liar" during Obama's State of the Union address a few years ago. And the Republicans (and even some Bernie Sanders supporters) have had a concerted effort to label Hillary Clinton as a liar - and I just can't believe them. So, if I hear the term "liar," I'd rather see refuting information instead of just the accusation.
