Quite frankly, when the post Dev was trashing claimed that everything in it was "fact" I think he was probably right to react in the way he did. It's a great mechanism - just say "fact" without prviding any evidence <doh>

What were expecting me to provide exactly ?

You want me to explain the whole history of middle eastern politics, in detail, with substantiated references ?

When I link half a dozen poll results from the Crimea he ignores it. When I ask a series of questions, and provide an already lengthy analysis which decntructs the western narrative, he ignores it. And you think im going to try to write some kind of referenced history book, so he can ignore that too ? <doh>

With no disrespect to Dev, Ive provided FAR more research, analysis and information than he has. If you want to look into the points ive made further (i know Dev doesn't), then I'd be delighted <ok>

In the mean time, if he or you wants to discuss it further, we can start with the points that ive already made and which have as yet gone unanswered <ok>
 
Dev,

Apologies if my comments appeared to get personal at any stage.

I realise it's more about having a laugh on here, and ive come steaming in and taken this one a bit seriously.

Anyway, hope the discussion was worthwhile. A bit.

<cheers>

Is that another fact or just your opinion?

I'll spell it out shall I? Anyone who does not know the difference between "fact" and their personal opinion is a moron. Take what you will from that.

Then you're a moron because I said "think you're on the glue"

It's not difficult

That's not what I asked, try again.

Is everything he typed FACT?

Dev,

My contributions to this discussion to date have included :

* an analysis explaining why it is illogical to claim that russia is the aggresor in ukraine and syria
* a series of questions which logically debunk the narrative put out by the west
* my explanation of the real cause of events. I labelled these "fact" because they represent the verifiable reality.

I have offered you a chance to respond to all of the above. You have declined to respond to any of them, either in discussion or debate, and have instead sought to argue about spelling, the use of capital letters, what you think about russian tv, whether you think putin is a nice man, and what the word 'fact' means.

Are you here to discuss, or are you here to bury your head in the sand ?

I never actually said the Americans have no culture. I just said none of their culture is original and the closest thing they have is consumerist culture, which is exactly what Burger King and baseball is. Archer mentioned movies as well. Again, Hollywood is an example of consumerist culture. I'm not criticising the US, just saying as a relatively young country their culture isn't as mature or interesting (to me, at least) as Russia's. Russia's culture goes back over a thousand years and Russia, Ukraine and Belarus can lay claim to the Rus' people as their cultural, linguistic and genetic ancestors. I'd rather live in Russia because as a History student I'd find the place more interesting. The English have the Romano-Britons, Anglo-Saxons, Danes, Norwegians and Normans as their cultural and linguistic ancestors; the Scots have the Picts, the Gaels, the Norwegians and the Normans as well; Irish have the Gaels and Anglo-Normans/Cymbro-Normans and the Welsh have the ancient Britons and Anglo-Normans.

I take from it that it is your opinion that you are a moron, but that it's not actually clear from that particular comment in isolation, whether or not you are right.

Logically anyway.

I have never claimed anything I said was a Fact - apart from Russian Troops being in Ukraine. Everything else was clearly stated by me to be my "Opinion".

Supposition and conjecture is not and has never been "Fact".
