"Insults are the last refuge of insecure men with crumbling arguments." By showing your inability to have a civil discussion you've proven you don't have a leg

"Insults are the last refuge of insecure men with crumbling arguments." By showing your inability to have a civil discussion you've proven you don't have a leg to stand on.

They are also the last refuge of people who wrote civilians and got asked about terrorists as if they were the same thing. Well, for you in any case the same - only a dead Palestinian is a good dehumanized Palestinian, they are all the same.

  > only a dead Palestinian is a good dehumanized Palestinian, they are all the same. Is that what you believe? That's a pretty grotesque thing to say, even if it's not really clear what it means. Instead of failed attempts to cast insults and innuendos why don't you actually address the discussion. Admit that you made a grotesque comparison in an attempt to prove your moral superiority but instead got caught in your own hubris. Admit that you're making up quotes left and right so you can try to salvage some part of your argument, admit that you're putting words in other peoples mouths so you can build up strawmen to attack. Admit that every time you're shown you're wrong you refuse to even acknowledge it and instead start hurling insults as if that will make people forget the preposterous arguments you attempted. Admit that not once in this entire discussion did you approach it with even an ounce of curiosity, and instead assumed malice at every step. Then we can continue to have some sort of civil discussion, otherwise you're tilting at windmills and it makes you look foolish. You've broken nearly every hn guideline for good discussion and continue to fume, it might be time to step back and step away for a bit.

      Are you ok? You're coming off as more and more unhinged each time you comment. I'd highly recommend you step away from the computer and step outside, enjoy the fresh air, take your mind off of your troubles. I can say honestly I have no idea what the above comment means, but, sincerely, I didn't mean to break you.

        Again, nothing you've said in the above comment has made any sense, I highly recommend you take a deep breath and step back and consider taking a day away from electronics, I promise you, you'll feel much better, maybe like that child camping in Gaza with her parents.

        Of course it doesn't make any sense to you, we've already identified the reasons. Or the main reason. The last sentence really defines you. You feel mighty and powerful don't you, you know it's your time and nothing can stop you. Here's a song you can sing to celebrate this accomplishment: https://youtu.be/_tUctFu46_c?feature=shared https://youtu.be/_tUctFu46_c?feature=shared

        You continue to hurl nonsensical insults instead of meaningfully engaging in the topic at hand. I’m sorry you’re feeling so hurt and upset, hopefully you’ll heed my well intentioned advice and take a sabbatical from your culture war, just to recharge and gain perspective. As long as we’re giving each other extra curricular activities I suggest you read this book: https://www.amazon.com/High-Conflict-Why-Get-Trapped/dp/1982128569 https://www.amazon.com/High-Conflict-Why-Get-Trapped/dp/1982... I promise you it’ll make you a happier less brooding person. As there doesn’t seem to be anything productive happening here, this my au revoir. I hope you find the internal peace you’re so sorely missing.
