Quote:Oh there you go again - we already established you made that up, remember?
No Gandalf. We established that it was correct, but feel free to continue where we left off.
Quote:And no, FD, Europeans are not responsible for diseases spread by Arabs.
But you are counting the deaths caused by the diseases introduced by Arab traders as being caused by Europeans, right? Even though those Europeans actually went to signficant effort to cure and treat them, saving a lot of lives in the process?
Quote:Really FD? Which year? Which war? Or are you referring to a period since - when my claim was specifically about the history up until that time?
Ah. So when you say things like
* "the establishment of (by far) the largest programs of invasion and conquest and ethnic cleansing the world has ever seen"
* "Arguably the greatest genocide in all of history"
* "unlike in any other time in history"
* "It is simply self-evident that European colonialism was the most disruptive, violent and devastating period for the most number of people, in the smallest period of time, in all of history."
you actually mean "before that time"? Surely I have quoted you enough times on this to stop you lying about it now?
Like I said Gandalf, surely it would be easier to simply retract these statements instead of trying to lie your way out of them. And it should not take 20 pages of your special Muslim tapdance routine to get you to acknowledge this. It is particularly ironic coming after you had to correct Brian Ross recently on a very similar point. I note he still does not understand either.
Quote:For someone who insists the numbers can't be known and therefore can't be debated
That is you Gandalf. I asked you for the numbers. All I got in response was obfuscation.
The first fleet did not treat Boongs, FD. They had no hospitals and no treatment. An estimated 90% of the local Sydney population died of smallpox.
In fact, where did Europeans ever treat natives? India? Burma? French Guyana? The Belgian Congo?
The public hospital wasn't around until the late 19th century, so please show how managing a public health outbreak was even possible.
Do you uphold the use of porkies in your campaign against the Muslim?
Please explain that one too. Your porkie campaign has been ramped up of late, but perhaps a more important question is this:
Do you expect people to be so dumb as to
believe your porkies? Do you expect them not to read back over your claims in past posts? Do you think they'll read your latest concoction - no references or proof - and just say ah?
I don't think you do. I think your subsequent howlers are just a way to avoid fessing up and saying you lied the first time.
But that's just me.
