Classic!
When losing argument, switch to personal attack, making up smears.

My only contribution to the pope thread was to ask these questions, without any comment.

"Does that include those gays who oppose it?
Does that include those who have no issue with sexuality but just have the traditional view of what the institution of marriage is and should be?"

Not defending or attacking anything, just asking.

On this thread, I argued just 3 things.
1.That overall the army was well led.
I know this from reading history.

2.That Britain had to try and stop the invading German armies.
Again, that is not questioned by historians.

3.People mostly volunteered because they understood that.
This is from The Daily Mirror on the day war was declared.

"Why There is War.
The following statement was issued from the Foreign Office last night: Owing to the summary rejection by the German Government of the request made by His Majesty's Government for assurances that the neutrality of Belgium would be respected, His Majesty's Ambassador in Berlin has received his passport, and His Majesty's Government has declared to the German Government that a state of war exists between Great Britain and Germany as from 11pm on August 4."
