One more thing about PR/FPTP: so much sectarian bull**** could've been undermined if they had FPTP instead of PR. That way, elections would be more about tangible local issues, rather than voting for your ethn-religious group.

It's simple boolean logic. There simply can't be more than the two answers I gave (ie. "yes" or "no"), or it's a different question. If you wish to ask some other question, feel free, but it's not the same as mine.Originally posted by Giancarlo
No it is not simple. You just don't get it do you? Some questions require more analysis and statement to them. You can't just answer "yes" or "no" because the answer can be both. It depends on the complexity of the subject and what is brought into question. You need to develop your relatively immature, reactionary thoughts into something that is more understanding the reality. Some questions can't just be answered "yes" or "no"... they need analysis and can be both."On this ship you'll refer to me as idiot, not you captain!"

No again. I'm getting very mad right now... and I'm trying my best to explain you something about the world: Nothing is answered in a simple yes or no when it comes to an issues like Iraq in the world. It ne ver is. And it never will be. You just don't get it. You won't look pass your simplistic Michael Moore styled mind-set. Leftism degenerates the mind.. and I see it here...Originally posted by Jaakko

I'm trying to tell you the answer is a lot more then just yes or no. It is like a math question. You can't just take a math test and answer "yes" or "no" to every question.Originally posted by Jaakko

But I didn't ask a math question. My question was a simple yes/no proposition.Originally posted by Giancarlo

Again no it wasn't. There is a lot more to the question then just "yes" or "no". But in your simple mind you refuse to accept it.,Originally posted by Jaakko

But how is that possible? If I ask you, is it true that your handle is "Giancarlo", how can there be more answers than "yes" and "no"?Originally posted by Giancarlo

Ramo, I'm to tired to go 20 rounds with you but rest assured Cole is a partisan hack who plays fast and lose with facts just like the various Republican hacks. The only difference is Cole represents the more left leaning bits of the Democratic party and various other parties. He doesn't even try to maintain he's journalistic integrity which is why his pieces are usually dumped into the opinion section instead of the news section. For news I prefer less biased sources which will at least pretend to be objective.

First off, he's not a journalist. He's a history professor who writes a blog; he analyzes, not reports, that's why it's not in the news sections. As for playing "fast and loose with the facts," yes you keep accusing him of doing that, but have never demonstrated it. Frankly, you got a few facts wrong in that criticism of his.
As for him being some kind of partisan zealot, as I just edited in my previous post, he supported the Iraqi invasion initially. He also has been quite critical of the agenda of Democratic candidates (especially Dean, BTW) during the primaries, and then Kerry in the general. And his current position is hardly orthodoxly Democratic: staying in Iraq indefinitely, and not creating a timetable for withdrawal."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.

Yes my name is Giancarlo. What does that have to do with anything?
Either the Bush administration is responsible for everything, or they aren't. There is no middle ground.
Either your handle is Giancarlo, or isn't. There is no middle ground."On this ship you'll refer to me as idiot, not you captain!"
