CarolC I can only imagine you don't understand these points because you are too busy with your ping pong and scorecard to even consider what they mean.

You can't really think anyone ever meant to ask you what you would, in fact, do, if Indian lands were taken back, and yet you choose to respond as if it were a practical question. It's what's called a rhetorical question, and I think it was probably posed to remind you that you're discussing human affairs on planet earth, where, as in the great tragedies, even our most positive values may sometimes come into conflict.

You can't really think I meant that you should actually tell Nerd or anyone what they think about human rights, or that he was asking you to, but you choose to sit on a high horse and respond with silly pseudo-logical stuff that is very dry, but not very funny. If you really don't get it, oh well, but I think you simply prefer arguing your favorite bits, and are marking these things out of bounds.
