=========================
-=> Quoting Stewart Arnett to Frank Scheidt <=-

 FS>>> This is not to denigrate the combat activities of those men.
 FS>>> They were far more dangerous than our own but viewed
 FS>>> objectively, *we* did more.
 
 SA>>> Then why did you call these men cowards?   Remember the front
 SA>>> line was active from 1939 and manned for the full war by
 SA>>> European soldiers, yet you consider the Europeans to be cowards,
 SA>>> why?
 
 FS>> I think that was in the context of our modern "war" in
 FS>> Afghanistan/Iraq to save the world from the terrorists, though,
 FS>> the thread seems to have become lost here ... [sigh] ...
 
 SA>> Seems you have lost a lot of threads, FV may be correct.
 
 FS> I think the key weasel-word there is "may" ... heh heh heh ...

 SA> Yes, he just "may" be correct in his conclusion, you are loosing your
 SA> intelect old fellow.

I don't think so.  What gives *you* that strange idea?  (No, I 
don't expect any rational response ... [sigh] ...) ...
 
 SA>> Remember your
 SA>> use of the accusation of "all Europeans are Cowards" this was in
 SA>> reference to their actions in WW2.
 
 FS> I'd have to see an "unedited" quote of that before I can respond.
 FS> You people have screwed up the quotes so badly that it's
 FS> difficult to know what in the hell you're trying to say at times
 FS> ... [sigh] ...

 SA> I'm sure you have archives, you are supposed to have followed the
 SA> thread for over a year now, perhaps you are loosing the plot old
 SA> fellow. 

 SA> Why waste bandwidth with excesive quoting? Though nothing is 'deleted'
 SA> in this reply. Just for your dim witted mind, from now on, just to you,
 SA> I will never delete any line from messages.

I don't ask for "excessive" quoting -- only for enough so 
everyone can follow the thread.  You see, Stewart, *I* have a lot 
of other things in my life.  Unlike you I don't have the time to 
waste here ... 
 SA>> Also implied with this statement by
 SA>> yourself was your statement "I was there".
 
 FS> Huh?  There was no *implication* whatsoever as I *was* there in
 FS> WWII ...

 SA> Oh so the truth is now comeing to the fore, you meant to say "you were
 SA> not there in WW2" ?
 
I see that *is* a question, so I'll answer:  Not *where*?

 SA>> Now answer the question
 SA>> truthfully, why did you call these people cowards?
 
 FS> See above ... [sigh] ...

 SA> I see no reason there for why you called these people "Cowards" so
 SA> answer the question.
 
Maybe you can have someone explain it to you -- someone who 
*does* read English with comprehension ... [sigh] ...

 FS>> obviously there are individual Europeans -- those who, for some
 FS>> reason, haven't emigrated to America -- who are not cowards.
 
 SA>> Why should they wish to emigrate to your country if you are an
 SA>> exaple of the sort of person they will find there?
 
 FS> If I *were*, Europeans would *all* be anxious to immigrate here
 FS> ...

 SA> You have an exalted oppinion of yourself, would this be the reason you
 SA> wish to glorify yourself with your deeds in the conflicts of the second
 SA> world war? 

I have never attempted to glorify myself WRT WWII.  I did my job.  
What did *you* do then?  Aside, perhaps, from filling your diapers 
... heh heh heh ...

 FS>> It's the nations as a whole who refuse to carry their fair burden
 FS>> in the modern "war" who demonstrate cowardice ...
 
 SA>> What modern war, or is it an illegal invasion?
 
 FS> Note the quotes around "war" above?  That is a technique we
 FS> people who are literate use to indicate a meaning other than the
 FS> usual for the word being quoted.

 SA> And as you so blithely fail to see, I have asked for a definition,
 SA> with a suggestion, of your meaning for the quotation "war". You have
 SA> now answered below, thankyou.
 
You're welcome ... after all, I'm here to help ...

 FS>  For example, the US hasn't been
 FS> at war for more than one-half century ... not since September
 FS> 1945, more specifically ...

 SA> Ah, so Mr Scheidt now admits the US of A is engaged in Illegal and
 SA> dishonourable acts round the globe, not having been "at war since
 SA> September 1945"

Huh?  Where did I admit any such thing?  Have you *again* deleted 
the critical quote?????
 
 FS>> ... Everything I need to know, I learned from my cat.
 
 SA>> And not a very bright one at that.
 
 FS> You don't understand taglines *either* do you?  ... heh heh heh
 FS> ...

 SA> No, you fail to understand the Irony of your machines "random choice".
 
Simmer down, Stewart, a tagline is a tagline ... don't spend too 
much of your "valuable" time studying them ...

 FS> ... Being too drunk to fish is like being too fat to bowl ÄÄ
 FS> impossible.
 
No comments about *that* tagline.  Good!  Maybe you *can* learn a 
little ...

... Congress:  You earn it ÄÄ we spend it.  Any questions?
