You used the language of a court of law.
No, you assumed that meant I was talking about a "court of law". Now who's making silly assumptions?
Quote:You are the one who thinks ISIS murderous rampage is alleged and are giving it the benefit of the doubt, innocent until proven guilty you said.
Yes. I find they are good principles to run with, throughout life. It avoids me making rash statements which are not necessarily supported by the facts until they are fully known. I'm sure you want to avoid that sort of situation don't you?
Quote:And yes I read Fairfax along with a lot of other media. Unlike many on the forum I like to get information from multiple sources, between any bias, real or perceived, both left and right you can usually find the truth and sometimes allows you to juxtapose between differing interpretations from a single source or at least information about the source as well.
Really, yet you invariably come up with the opinions which are obviously reinforced by tabloid yellow journalism of the worst kind, be it about Asylum Seekers or Muslims. For one who prides oneself on being an independent thinker, you seem to be very much marching to the drumbeat of the right-wing!
Quote:It takes a particularly dumb sort of personality to disregard a source because you do not share that viewpoint or think it biased, if nothing else it is always wise to inform yourself what alternative viewpoints are saying and what propaganda is being promulgated. Allows an informed response and to mount targeted counterpoints you see.
Ah, so you don't read them with an open-mind, willing to allow them to convince you then DL? How unsurprising that you read them to "mount targeted counterpoints".
Quote:But a particularly dumb viewpoint is your stock in trade.
Is it? Perhaps it's all about perceptions?
Quote:And I look forward to you maintaining that same "higher standard of proof" granting a "benefit of the doubt" and "innocent until proven guilty" that you accord ISIS on its "alleged murderous rampage" without prejudice and to that same higher standard toward Israel and the great Satan.
Wouldn't want to prove yourself a hypocrite now would you dopey?
You don't even know it bozo but you have just scored yourself a massive home goal and now you get to wear it.
178 IQ my arse.
No thank you. Not interested. You really do seem to suffer from the Tall Poppy Syndrome. Jealousy is such a childish emotion, don't you find? Did you suffer a particularly disadvantaged childhood? That may explain how you attack anybody who has done better than you out of life.
