THE US, THE UN AND THE IRAQIS THEMSELVES, V. 7.0

Would it be safe to assume that anyone who posts an article or essay without comment is in agreement with the content of that article or essay?

White House Rejects Italy Hostage's Claims

White House press secretary Scott McClellan said the car carrying Giuliana Sgrena was traveling on one of the most dangerous roads in Iraq when it was fired upon.

Just seems reasonable that if a piece is posted to dispute what somebody else said, there would be some comment from the poster about it. Also if a piece is posted to show the stupidity or bias or error of the writer, the poster would comment on that when the post is made.

But maybe not. I know plenty of A2Kers have assumed I agreed with the opinions of those writers that I post and will even quote exerpts back to me as "my words".

Like most of the people in Europe and Australia. They are all ideological extremists, but you and ican are the moderates. We all know that!

I know, it's not easy to update with all these international news.

I suggest, you start here:

Monday, June 28, 2004: U.S. returns sovereignty to Iraq

To me 'moderate' means kissing your sister. It's wishy washy, straddling the fence, breathing neither hot nor cold, devoid of passion or conviction, or not having a clue and covering that up by pretending to be neutral or even handed.

hhahaha.....hehehehe....

I just don't understand why it is so necessary to know so much about the poster's one way or another? Why can't people just read the words of the posters and decide if the words themselves have any merit whether it is from an article or not?

I mean what difference does it make to veracity of the information on what a poster is thinking or if they are a moderate or lefty or right-wing?

That seems to have been true, certainly.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
