Iraq Collapsing

[Ms Tree]

Not according to the dictionary. Of course if you are just making up definitions and meanings to words then I guess it could mean anything.

So why did the US never go into Sudan?

Genocide was going on there, just like it took for ever to enter the war in the Balkans.
 
And look at Somalia, still fighting to this day.

..... I guess it could mean anything.

 
You're clearly capable of always, so "guessing". Many find comfort in critical thought that eliminates the need to "guess" though. 😉
 
(looks around again for a box of crayons to better express this in comprehensible terms for the evidenced audience) Nuts! Didn't find any handy crayons. My apologies.

You are seriously going to argue with the dictionary? I guess this explains the Nazi comment in the Hillary Speaks thread.

"He did not dodge the draft,"....Yet "he got 5 deferments"?
 
Additional instruction for your benefit:  "MORAL OBLIGATION. A duty which one owes, and which he ought to perform, but which he is not legally bound to fulfill."  http://legal-diction...oral obligation
 
This has now taken several steps past just-plain-pathetic. You may now resume playing with yourself, joyously unhampered by any intrusions of morality or logic. 🙂

 

[Ms Tree]

Do you always change the subject when the argument is not going your way?

You said he was a draft dodger. Legally and by define on he was/is not.

Now you are taking about moral obligations? This is like trying to nail down water.

This is like trying to nail down water......and by define on....

 
 
 Only to one born afflicted with water on the brain. Have a fine evening Tree.

The dictionary defines what a draft dodger is as one who as done something illegal. Cheney got 5 deferments that were legal. And yet you want to argue that he broke the law?

Where do you come up with this stuff. You dance around, change the subject and use insults but the fact still remains that Cheney did not break the law.

 

[EastUS1]

The dictionary defines what a draft dodger is as one who as done something illegal.

 
The real world does not thus define the actions of complete cowards...much to your ilk's constant and life-long distress, I'd reasonably imagine.

 

[Ms Tree]

The real world does not so define the actions of complete cowards...much to your constant distress, i'd imagine. 😉

Try and focus. The issue is dodging the draft. Not his moral obligation. Not his cowardice. Not his hypocrisy or anything else.

You said he was a draft dodger. Legally and by definition he was not.

 

[EastUS1]

....Legally and by definition....

 
Neither was O.J. Simpson guilty...and the search is presumably still on for "the real killers"? 😉

 

[Ms Tree]

I give up. If you are unable to accept the definition of a word there is no point.

 

[EastUS1]

I give up.

 
You really should, but all have a proper right to make complete fools of themselves.

 

[Ms Tree]

Only a fool argues with a dictionary. Here's your sign.

Agreed, since a dictionary's hardly any sanctuary of "thought" or "logic",....and here I'd imagined this to be an "argument" between people. My mistake. 😉
