ifinnegan, please be reasoned.
Would we allow protesters to occupy an airport of ours shutting down all departures?
The answer is no. You know it is no, so why are you refusing to reason here?
On top of this, you ignore that fact to trash me for being a Chinese government mouthpiece.
No, I am a man of reason, and I’m willing to come down fairly on an issue.
If I were coaching a Conservative function, I would demand that they not commit an act that would leave the police or government no choice but to arrest them and prosecute them for cause.
You don’t play into the hands of your enemies.
“Would we allow protesters to occupy an airport of ours shutting down all departures?
The answer is no. You know it is no, so why are you refusing to reason here?”
I’m curious who you think said “occupying an airport and shutting down all departures” would be allowed?
You make zero sense.
Whatever argument or point you are making is incoherent.
You just keep saying the same thing over and over.
My point all along has been that they screwed up by occupying the airport and shutting down all departures.
You reacted by saying I was a mouthpiece for Beijing.
You can’t have it both ways.
Either you agree that was a mistake and side with me, or you refuse to side with me and leave the impression you don’t think it was a mistake.
I’ve told you clearly I support their peaceful protests to no avail. You still said I was a mouthpiece for Beiging.
Now you’re trying to act as if I am the problem.
Read the thread over if you need to.
“My point all along has been that they screwed up by occupying the airport and shutting down all departures.”
You’ve said that over and over and over.
Some demonstrators agreed with you and held a sign saying they were sorry and it was a mistake and due to being over zealous.
It hasn’t hurt the movement or support for it at all.
There was just another huge weekend demonstration where all of Hong Kong people from all walks of life come out and gather and walk through the streets.
Okay, then you do think it was wrong.
Wow, after what four or five hours, you’ve finally figured that out?
Thanks.
It was a dumb thing to do, and allowed the military to take the upper hand entering Hong Kong.
Well, I’m sure you think the mainland military being there is a real plus.
“was a dumb thing to do, and allowed the military to take the upper hand entering Hong Kong.”
Lol.
This is where you’re off the rails. (And sound like ChiCom propagandist doomsayers).
You’re kind of divorced from reality and obsessed.
And by the way. Try to focus.
Answer this question you ignored:
I’m curious who you think said “occupying an airport and shutting down all departures” would be allowed?
So far all you’ve demonstrated here is that you have zero analytical skills.
When these protesters kept it peaceful in the streets, the government allowed them to do it. The military stayed out of Hong Kong
As soon as they shut down the departures area of the airport, the Chinese military moved in.
You state that I keep mentioning this, but you have yet to express any perception that the military being on Hong soil might be bad in any way.
As I continue to explain to you why overplaying their hand at the airport was a bad idea, all you’ve got are insults and nonsense to respond with.
“When these protesters kept it peaceful in the streets, the government allowed them to do it.”
Actually you’re wrong about that.
Anyhow, you like to beat a dead horse.
One that’s not even dead but simply walked past you.
“As soon as they shut down the departures area of the airport, the Chinese military moved in.”
You’re out of your mind. Do you know anything about this topic?
‘I continue to explain to you why overplaying their hand at the airport “
That’s all you ever say.
You’ve trashed me for saying it was a very bad move to occupy the airport and give the military a reason to move in. You went so far as to say I was acting as the mouthpiece for Beijing. Now you’re trying to deny the implications of your own arguments.
Why did you get upset when I said it was a bad idea to occupy the airport, if you didn’t think it should be allowed?
I had to force out of you the admission that it was a lousy idea that wouldn’t be allowed.
Yes, do try to keep up.
Seriously, you got angry with me for saying the occupation of the airport was a bad idea.
I had to badger you on that point before you finally agreed it wouldn’t be allowed.
You now finally agree with me on that point, still haven’t apologized, and are still trying to spin it like you weren’t acting like a loon on this thread.
I don’t think you actually read what you write.
You started slandering people from the first few posts on this thread when they said the takeover of the airport was a rotten idea.
I’m not the only guy you accused of being a mouthpiece for Beijing.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Here you are starting another day trying to blame others.
It’s not working for you.
We all support the freedom fighters there, but when someone you want good things for does something incredibly stupid, it really bother us.
Didn’t bother you at all.
