I never asked you to answer to me.
I have asked you whether you would answer TO REALITY.
I have asked you whether you would answer TO EVIDENCE.
I DO NOT have to justify my opinions any further to you, as I have already provided sources to substantiate my position.
Well, one of the first things you provided was a claim that Vattel was the source of the phrase "law of nations" in our Constitution. I asked whether you would change that opinion if I provided conclusive evidence that there is a far, far better candidate for where that phrase came from.
You have steadfastly and absolutely refused to answer that you would be swayed by reasonable evidence, if I presented it.
In doing so, you have as much as admitted that THERE IS NO EVIDENCE ON EARTH THAT WOULD SWAY YOU FROM WHAT YOU WANT TO BELIEVE.
And by so doing, you have given some useful information to others reading this thread.
You have very strongly indicated that evidence means nothing to you. Only your OPINION matters, and if given a choice between your opinion and REALITY, you will take your personal opinion.
So you have very clearly told everyone following this thread that if it is REALITY they are interested in, then they can safely ignore any and all posts by you.
Because you've made it clear that you aren't dealing in reality. You're just here to claim whatever fantasy takes your fancy.
Everything everyone has provided as evidence has been conveniently ignored BY YOU
Really? I think if you would go back and read what I've posted, you would see that that statement is completely false.
Of course, this is completely in line with the fact that you've shown yourself to be a person who prefers fantasy to reality. So you are free to fantasize that "I've ignored all the evidence." I'm sure it will make you feel better to believe that.
Your behavior has been arrogant and belittling, you have substantiated NOTHING, and added nothing positive whatsoever to the conversation.
I asked you if I provided conclusive evidence of all of those points, would you go with the evidence? You have adamantly refused to listen to any evidence. I'm not sure why I or anyone else should respect someone for whom evidence and reality mean... absolutely nothing.
With him deciding what is real and what isn't.

As does Jeff. He only objects when he thinks OTHERS are doing it.

Ditto for you.
