You don't seem to have understood what the man was trying to say anyway.

You're funny. I like you. His words were plain English, as were yours. It's unfortunate that you don't understand what both of you said, but it explains your defense of Akin's stupid comments.

But (and I repeat myself) let's remember this: his statement was utterly gratuitous.

I'll presume that the rest of your questions are rhetorical. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Okay, you're wrong. That last set of questions was the most important of all. I'll repeat them to save you from scrolling up:

What grand principle was he defending? That rape victims don't usually get pregnant? Is that where we're planting our flag? What policy does that translate to? How does that belief improve the country? How does it advance the pro-life cause?

Can I add one more? How does it help him win the election?

Please answer what I asked. Don't tell me people are stupid, or the interviewer was a liberal, or it was a trick question, or the establishment is out to get him.

Attempts at flattery will get you nowhere.

...you don't understand what both of you said...
I fully understand what I said. Now, I may be wrong in my understanding of what he said, but nobody has convinced me otherwise so far, especially you.

... Akin's stupid comment...
Stupid, dumb...dumb, stupid...you just keep on and on with the negative psychological reinforcement even when it's not effective and the ploy has been used far too often, don't you.

...his statement was utterly gratuitous.
Once again, your opinion.

Okay, you're wrong. That last set of questions was the most important of all.
Very well...

What grand principle was he defending?
You would have to ask him to answer your question as I can't speak in his place.
That rape victims don't usually get pregnant?
This is a stand alone question that makes no sense of itself so I can't answer it.
Is that where we're planting our flag?
I didn't know you and I were planting a flag.
What policy does that translate to?
I have no idea what "policy" you're talking about.
How does that belief improve the country?
I have no idea what "belief" you're talking about.
How does it advance the pro-life cause?
I have no idea what "it" is so I can't answer that question.
Now do you see why I thought them rhetorical?

How does it help him win the election?
I have no idea what "it" is so I can't answer that question.

I did answer your questions as I was able. Unfortunately, you don't seem well suited to asking questions properly so you'll probably be disappointed with my reply.
