Now that's disingenuous. If the data were inverted you all would be shouting it from the proverbial rooftops. Instead said data says something contrary to your world view, so it must be wrong.

Russia armed them? In their fight against the Russians? Are you sure that you want that as your answer?

Yep. We sell arms as well. What, you think arms from other countries simply stay with the country of origin and their soldiers? A few arms were sold to some dudes in Mexico. Those dudes killed used those guns to kill a few folks that gave them the guns. You must believe everyone is on the honor system.

Look kids, I've got to get going. Wasted far too much time here today as it were. Don't fret. I'll be back at some point and we can all resume talking past each other to score meaningless internet points. At the suspension of play the score stands as follows:

Takeda: 175
AVGWarhawk: 156
Oberon: 122
Buddahaid: 110
August: -3

No I believe in the two party system but how can there ever be accord when your side continually promotes racial hatred and division?

Two Bears, you are quite something to be able to read me like a book. You completely understand me in a few post exchanges. Thus far according to you Trump is my savior and if some data that I call out on as scratching the surface if inverted I would be screaming about it on the roof tops in joy.

Thanks for you time.

I'll honor this last post of yours and then I am out, since we cross-posted.

So, the rise of these people and their accumulated power was based in Reagan-era arming, Bush and Clinton-era negligence and W-era military action. It's almost like everybody was and is to blame, not just those with whom we disagree.

I agree, all play a part certainly. That is why I called out the data offered by Buddaid. To simply state wars are cause/started by republicans is not correct.

The way I see it, the left has been the driving force behind having this nation attempt to actually live up to its own stated ideals. It wasn't the right that pushed for the 13th, 14th, 15th, 19th and 24th Amendments. It was the left; the side that has always been about making the United States of America conform to those inalienable rights that are so frequently touted.

You forgot to score yourself. Here let me:

Two Bears - -10 point penalty for name calling and posting hypocrisy like this one.

I didn't miss myself. I'm in the lead. My scoreboard, so it is correct.

Bill Clinton is responsible for Operation Cyclone. Another factoid of which I was not aware. Thanks Subsim!

Hey! Don't take Subsim's name in vain. This is just the party plaza, we don't pick the music or the dancers.
