Typical hit and run. 'Bye!'

How Juvenile. 8th graders I have known would be more mature.

And still you've posted no facts I see.

And as for your claims on reality....paraphrasing Jack Nicholson,
"You don't know reality, you can't handle reality."

It was a yes or no answer. I'll make it easier for you.

Check one answer only.

Yes

OR

No

If you won't answer that direct question, then we're done and you have given yourself away without having to actually commit to an answer. You deflect with wordy answers when only one is required.

Blackwell is one impressive guy. VERY conservative, not afraid of anything. He's exactly what we need to get this state back on track.

Interesting, I'll follow that closely.

Here in Tx, we've got Perry, who is not exactly what I'd call 'reliable'. He reminds me of a movie actor playing the part of governor, for some reason.

I answered your question fully in 251. Then you ignored my question back --

When you have the feeling you're being followed, do you just react? Or do you stop and gather some evidence of danger first?

There are some very odd people on this site. They seem to have come out of the woodwork!

Does that mean I should have acted on all those feelings?

You wouldn't have turned your head and taken a look over your shoulder?

I'm not interested in what you have to say. Get it? There are reasonable people on this thread. You just don't happen to be one of them. Please don't post back to me.

More hit and run juvenile behavior unfit for an 8th grader.

You started by posting to me on this thread.

Or did you forget already?

If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

'Bot.

And a particularly condemnatory self-righteous unreasonable one at that.

But it isn't a yes or no question, p. I'm not that simple minded.

In the first place, the parallel doesn't hold, because there was no danger involved. In the second place, the U.S. Military is in charge of security, so it doesn't matter how I 'feel.'

If you leave the discussion, it will not be because I didn't adequately answer your hypothetical (bad) comparison. It will be because you refused to acknowledge the logical answer I gave you.

I don't believe important decisions should be based on feelings, no matter how hard someone on the internet tries to persuade me that I should.

I did not hear about this book. Was he writing it for his family members?

Exactly, I would have *investigate* my feelings. I would look into the situation.

If I found no evidence, I would then realize I was just being paranoid.

Your side chose to avoid this step, and have refused to look for any evidence against these individuals.

You're like someone walking down the street who 'feels' they're being followed and just breaks into a run at a moment's notice!

YOU guys are giving the Pentagon the stern stare and they are going off to do it your way.

I'm not ragging on the Pentagon. I'm sorry if I wasn't more clear in explaining my point. Just because everyone say's the UAE is safe, there hasn't been any attacks, that doesn't mean it will be safe tomorrow or a week from tomorrow. A terrorist can strike at any given moment. Should one of our ships be attacked there like the one in Yemen was, would you still think the UAE was a safe harbor to dock American ships?

No, you repeated my point -- next step would be to gather evidence, to look over your shoulder.

You never once said anything about why your side has decided that evidence is not important here.
