(a little off-topic, your honour, but it goes to credibility)

50 years ago all underwear was white. Therefore, are we to assume you attended college as an adult re-entry student, or that you are a little confused with your time periods, or that you are lying?


Nope I am not confused that would appear to be you When in doubt use google kw vintage underwear and you will find links to peach, black white and various other colors for sale right now on eBay never used no less



Vintage Tap Pants Peach and black

Well there goes your creditability since it was clear you did not know what you were talking about.


So, when did you attend college?

When you were twenty? And lived in that sorority and met your wife of nearly 50 years?

Which would make you nearly 70 now, by any rough estimate.

Or did you mean that your wife is nearly 50 years old?

Rather quick of you to have Google's handy guide to old underwear there.

When in doubt, obfuscate and insult. How about addressing the other concerns there...

Just to place it in context, I attended uni a decade ago.

Personally, I can't wait.


Nah Subz already sent me a u2 regarding a debate and I am not interested in any fancy titles or awards. But thanks for asking.

Which standards are those? The double ones?

You know, where the US State Department annual report criticises China for its continued use of detention without trial?

Or the one where the US demands Aung San Suu Kyi be released from years of house arrest?

Or the one where the US accuses Cuba of holding political prisoners?

Or the one where the US says Belarus routinely violates the human rights of its citizens?


Those situations are not the same. Too the best of my knowledge they were not captured on a battle field with guns in their hands while shooting at people. Sad that you cannot see the difference.


Aha, so every situation must be examined in isolation, not seen as part of a larger pattern in which the US loses all credibility?

As for your other assertion. I want you to tell me how many of the detainees at Camp X-ray were "captured on a battle field with guns in their hands while shooting at people." If you can.

If you can't, I suggest you pause, however briefly, and ask yourself why. At the same time I suggest you cease using such a line of argument.

Once you've done that I suggest you examine what other instances of baseless hyperbole you've indulged in and examine them.

As for situations not being the same, unlawful detention without charge is unlawful detention without charge. I'm still waiting for the legal basis of the US' continued detention of Afghanis. How long has Hamid Karzai been president now? How long did it take us to repatriate the German, Italian and Japanese prisoners of war after the signing of the unconditional surrenders and the creation of an occupation force?

Why is the US so afraid of the ICC at the Hague, an institution whose sole purpose is to prosecute offenders under the Geneva Convention?
