From the nearest possible launch point to the intended target deep in Aghanistan they must've taken at least half an hour. Ample time to make a call and ample time for the intended target to get away. Mati Meron | "When you argue with a fool, meron(a)cars.uchicago.edu | chances are he is doing just the same"

Ok, I have seen lots of messages on this thread saying how America has no empire, nor any intention to get one and wasn't sure where you stood on the issue. Thanks. >>> You sound a little hypocritical to me, Homer. >> >>Not at all. Here is an example, Person X used to beat his wife. After she >>finally reported him, he went to jail and learned from his mistakes. >> >>Now Person X says to Person Y "Don't hit your wife" - Person Y responds >>"You >>used to do it, you hypocrite, why shouldn't I?" >> >>Oh look, we [tinw] never learn. > > --- > The part you failed to recount was when Person X related his > experiences in prison to Person Y. Yes, but it was only an analogy and didn't need to be perfect. If Homer recounted the UK's experiences with the way the country learned from its mistakes in the days of Empire would it be better? > What's [tinw] ? Sorry, it means "there is no we" - although I cant remember when or how, I developed a habit of writing it after I used the term "we." Ideally it was to show that when I said "we," there isnt really anyone else I can speak for so it is a misuse of the word. In the example, it would be churlish of me to use "we" meaning you and I never learn - as I have no idea if you have or have not and can not speak for you. Not sure if I have explained this very well but it is late and I am slightly tipsy. |
