I really don't see the point of carrying this any further with Keith.
You say that my attitude to the bombardment is Creepy (or some such word - can't be bothered)
Your attitude to this is creepy to me in one respect.
It closely resembles every argument I have ever had or read on holocaust denial.
You present a holocaust denier with concentration camps - they didn't exist and were made up (eye witness accounts and photographs - lies and fakes).
Present you with phosphorus bombing and the deaths and injuries caused - didn't happen they were smoke bombs (eye withness evidence and photographs ignored).
Present them with the anihilation of millions of human beings - the natural casualities of wartime conditions.
Present you with civilian casualities and deaths - the natural casualties of war.
When people like Emma or Foolstroop present information, you refuse to read it because it's 'too long', and they are deliberately trying to blind you with science - pretty much as you did with me on the Unionist Marches thread.
Everything else is either ignored or flatly denied - never disproved. Your ignorance of all the subjects I have encountered you on is monumental - you argue without proof, picking up on what others put
forward rather than producing knowledge and understanding of your own.
In an odd way I can understand holocaust deniers - If I supported an political ideal or a national leadership who did the things the Nazis did, I would want it not to be true; I would want to persuade people (and myself) that those I had put my trust in and given my support to could not possibly have done the things they were accused of doing.
I don't begin to understand where you are coming from.
You have spoken up fin support of three of the most inhuman and degrading subjects I know - the massacre of unarmed demonstrators in Derry, the causes of sectarian violence, and now Israeli fascism. You argue as if it's a ego-boosting, point scoring game.
I've finished arguing with you Keith - come back when you've got something to contribute and when you are prepared to consider and respond top the arguments of others.
