In 1934 Dictator Stalin launched the Great Purge in which about a million people perished. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Purge Im well aware. He just phrased nicely what folks know instinctively about folks like....Car Salesmen for example. Remember the TV show Racket Squad? Where the star, Reed Hadley, said at the opening: "They pat you on the back with one hand, but pick your pocket with the other" George Washington massacred Indians, do we disregard all that he said? Do folks not quote Mao and Che? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's based on the assumption that if someone's speech is nasty and offensive, it's also honest. Yet the fact is Trump is the most massively dishonest person in public life today. No one else comes close. You, like so many other dupes, are actually victims of "truthiness." "Truthiness is the belief or assertion that a particular statement is true based on the intuition or perceptions of some individual or individuals, without regard to evidence, logic, intellectual examination, or facts.[1][2] Truthiness can range from ignorant assertions of falsehoods to deliberate duplicity or propaganda intended to sway opinions.[3][4]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truthiness Are you saying that if one's speech in your opinion is nasty and offensive then it's a lie?

Aristotle pointed this out about 2400 years ago. Time to catch up on your reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolboy Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Just now, EVENKEEL said: Again you ramble on avoiding the post you addressed. The sickness of hating Trump is robbing you of common sense. Carry on, I'm off to do some fun stuff. It may be robbing of my common sense, but that is as nothing compared to your inability to understand the most basic of rules of syllogisms. And then there is the question of your short term memory. Let me repeat the question you asked: "Are you saying that if one's speech in your opinion is nasty and offensive then it's a lie?" Here was my analysis: "Now for a brief lesson in logic, If "A" then "B" is not the same as If "A" then "not B". Aristotle pointed this out about 2400 years ago. Time to catch up on your reading." This is "rambling"? I directly and economically answered your question. Do you just spew out words without reference to their meaning and hope some will stick?
