Teribus, when you lose an argument do you always resort to name-calling?

>1. Have you ever served in the armed forces of the county in which you live, or any other country - answer is either Yes or No.

I was a conscientious objector.

>2. Have you ever been in a position where people that youpersonally do not know are trying to kill you? - Again simple Yes or No would suffice.

I try to avoid those situations at all costs.

>3. If the answers to questions 1 & 2 above are No and No Frank. Don't you fuckin' well dare on any grounds whatsoever pass judgement on those who actually fight and put their lives on the line so that you can prattle on on this forum about freedoms and values that those who do serve guarantee you.

I don't pass judgement on you personally. I think your ideas are deluded. And you don't
serve me with your warlike attitude.

>By the bye on Ghandi - care to tell us who killed him and why??

He was killed by a religious fanatic named Godse.

> He did not "force" the British out of India, he certainly had his role in making the inevitable happen, but don't ever over emphasise his importance in decisions that in the aftermath and consequence of the Second World War were inevitable.

Don't underestimate his considerable influence and power in India and if it wasn't for him
Britain would still be there.

>Judged by his own standards he failed and failed miserably, Ghandi's mission was for a united India, not a set up with Pakistan/India/East Pakistan, in that particular conflict millions died - that would not have happened under British Rule and a British plan for independence.

While he was active, before his assassination he was extremely sucessful even by his own standards. Nehru acknowledged this even when he didn't agree with Ghandi. The Brits plan for independence was to maintain their colonial influence as they have done historically for decades.

>Sorry Frank the facts relating to any case or circumstance remain purely and simply "The facts" - They are not factoids, Frank there is no such fucking thing as factiods except within your imagination which basically mean they count for bugger all.

Sorry Teribus but your interpretation of the facts are questionable at best. There are factoids that are administered by propagandists.

>As to pontificating on the "military mindset" Frank, as you, yourself have never served in the military, how many other things do you voice your considered opinion on about things of which you personally have absolutely no experience??

There is no reasonable way for you to determine what experience I may or may not have had since you don't know me at all. You, like so many others with a rigid mindset, make assumption based on your own prejudices.

> Now logic and common-sense lends me to believe that someone who rabbits on about something they personally have no actual experience of has got to be a complete and utter wanker and that Frank just about sums you up.

Once again, when you can't win an argument or prevail in a discussion, you apparently think there is some merit in your name-calling that will convince someone that you are correct in your misapprehensions. The discussion is now closed since the only defense you have for your arguments is to denigrate reasonable rebuttals. As of this moment,
this is not a legitimate discussion but a tirade on your part.
