He has a point. I assume you are wise enough to understand that when the wise man argues with a fool, it becomes hard to tell the difference. Take your own advice: vote to remove his message and move on.

Which is precisely why I do not even attempt to argue with you "community" boys: there is no there there with you all.

Persons of certain "protected" classes are not to be expected to be law-abiding. And certainly not in Canada (of course, in many European countries the crisis-point is even closer). Far too many in "the west" ... and here in the Sandbox ... imagine that we can satisfy Islamic blood-lust by tossing the Jews to them. And, of course, I must be silenced because I scoff at that rank foolishness [edit: both the immorality of it, which is one sort of deliberate foolishness, and the futility of it, which is another].

No doubt. But isn't the important question whether anyone else shares this preference? edit: And isn't it odd that you intend to simultaneously assert that there is no objective truth, or at least that objective truth cannot be known if it does exist (which assertion is a self-contradiction), with the assertion that what you see, or choose to see, is objectively true?

OK. Though it pains me to admit it, I guess you guys are right. (you, too, Josh, if you read this. You hit the nail on the head. I do have better things to do) No more back-and-forth with Ilidgit. I promise. It's a waste of my time and Chris's bandwidth.

When overwhelmingly outnumbered, always charge uphill into a heavily fortified position. :laugh:

It is standard US combat policy to be prepared to engage the enemy on any ground, chosen or not, and remove him from it. To gain the offensive initiative and maintain the offensive initiative, going on defense only for as long as is required to regroup, resupply. SO, yes, absolutely, you want your enemy on the defensive and worrying about choosing his ground.
Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

Well, yes, generally speaking, when you are overwhelmingly outnumberd it is all the more important to be able to maintain the offensive. The last thing you want to do is turn over the offensive initiative to a superior force. Being on the defensive is, literally, for losers.

In the situation that Tim said, your decision would have your troops annihilated in pretty short order. And being on the defensive is not for losers but can sometimes be the most effective action you can take. Examples include WWII Allied Forces defensive withdrawals from South East Asia under MacArthur, otherwise his remarks "I came out of Bataan and I shall return" would be hollow.

Thats because MacArthur knew that he could mass force and counter attack. He went on the defense only long enough to resume the offensive. Until he (among others) did that, we were losing.
