On a non-thread basis.

WOO, you live 20 miles from me.

Where abouts?

The most uncultured town in Britain.

Hint: Not Essex.

Yep, I live in Macclesfield.

[Fionnuala_Saoirse]

Certain soldiers lives, certainly.

But you wouldn't want to try and put words in my mouth would you?

I hope you mean any soldiers who committed atrocities in Northern Ireland only, not British soldiers in general.

Of course I don't mean the former. Neither do I mean the latter.

Ok, you just seemed to lean towards these with your posts.

No I believe that's purely your bias speaking.

I don't think so, but anyway.

We're not derailing the thread further.

Seriously, if you type in...

"The most uncultured town in Britain, you get Macclesfield"

Did you go to a special school to learn these superior strawman skills? Seriously, dial it back. My post had nothing to do with immigration, multiculturalism, or anything else you care to mention.

Please do try to understand what I'm saying here. I'm saying this - that the reason people question stories tends to be that those stories do not fit in with their narrative, whereas the reason people uncritically agree with stories tends to be that those stories fit in with their narrative. It doesn't matter what you said, because what matters here is the underlying rule of human behaviour that we will question that which undermines our personal narrative about a broader issue whereas we will not be as critical to that which supports our personal narrative about a broader issue.

Why did I call the reported version of events into account? Because people shouldn't take things as factual until they are proven to be so.

Can you really look yourself in the mirror and say that you apply the exact same standard to everything? That you question even stories that support your own world view? I don't think you can, because I don't think anyone can. As detached as I can be from time to time, even I know that I'm more likely to criticise things I disagree with than things I agree with (which, in combination with the sheer volume of doubts on the first page of the discussion, was why I entered into this debate in the first place). Don't get me wrong, the process this creates is useful. As long as there are two camps about any broader political matter, all stories put out by one side will be questioned by the other, and ultimately that's the type of environment where truth wins while nepotism and corruption lose. But there is no such thing as a perfectly neutral, critical human being, even if most people undoubtedly think they're him.

Considering that you don't actually know dick about my political opinions, you're making a hell of a stretch in your assumption that I'm only critical in this case because it "agrees with my narrative" to do so. You're going off the rails a bit with your assumptions in this thread and it's making you look incredibly childish. The rest of your post is fluff, really, and doesn't merit a response.

Hmm...

Anyway, we should get back on topic.

If I managed that, I wish to apologise now while I have the chance.

You're The West Coast?

No, he definitely is not me. I would not apologize to you for that, because I know that's what you truly meant when you said what you did.

So sad. That's terrible

[New Connorstantinople]

Good god.
I'm in the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets, and I was just selling poppies yesterday. I hope they find this prick, and then do what's necessary.

Also, my country uses poppies, and I do wear them.

Being in the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corp here in the US, it concerns me this stuff is happening right across the pond. Stay sharp, stay strong partner.
