Pat, I consistently discussed things in depth with you until you decided to lie about my posting and take personal shots on another thread to and in protection of Berton. I sent you a PM about that. I have seen you since that time continually used little shots like the one on this thread (calling those with whom you disagree "Comrade") to close discussion with others. I told you in the PM that I would continue to point out your doing that. I will continue. Now, I know you above post was a set of defensive statement intended to close any discussion on this thread with me. I am sorry you have chosen that right wing tactic, but so be it. BTW, if you do not understand that "picking" silly arguments apart is not a part of real life debate, I feel sorry for you and your past education. Even being rich by family inheritance cannot substitute for knowledge. Nor does right wing ideology serve as a substitute for knowledge. Edited by colo_crawdad, Dec 9 2013, 10:53 PM.

Talk about making cheap shots, you just proved him absolutely correct Colo. |

Pat, I should, in all honesty, say that my defensive stateemenets in the past post were in direct response to your defensive statements. My intent was to close discussion on this particular subject with you, but to encourage the use of language and statements in the future that will foster communication between the two of us. From your silence, I think I succeeded in the first. I will wait to see if I was successful on the second goal. BTW, I apologize if you felt "backed into a corner." |

For crying out loud Colo, the topic here is Nelson's death and it evolved to discussing about the man and his life. It's fine if you don't want to discuss it, but please understand that for some of us we don't consider a terrorist and commie as a hero in our lives. We admit that he might very well be such in his native land. Without putting words in your mouth I'm assuming your disdain for our comments is because you disagree and thing he is a worthy hero. Cool, worship and adore who you wish but don't for a second think the rest of us will join you at the altar. |

Yes I felt abused by your reaction Colo. It's obvious that we disagree in principle on many points, and I never have claimed here to be perfect in deed and action. Far from it. |

Ok you guys. You two are two of the most intelligent & reasonable here. How about keeping it that way and bury the hatchet over this one? |

I did not know there was any hatchet. But, if there is, burying it is okay with me. Edited by colo_crawdad, Dec 10 2013, 01:17 AM.

And the fact remains Mandela was a commie terrorist at the end of 11 pages. |

And, because of that was, and still is, attacked by the US Right. |
