I congratulate you on continuing your spotless record of never defending your ideas against a challenge, but, instead, always attacking those who disagree.
And maybe, just maybe, that is why the thread was created in the "Humor" forum. If the intention was to discuss "facts" or that what was posted was asserted to be "facts" to begin with then this thread probably would have been created in the "Politics" forum.
I suspect that if I started a thread in the Humor forum that began with "There once was a man from Nantucket..." you'd be peeved and claim that there are no men from Nantucket.
IOW, lighten up Francis!
Nah, you're just on the losing side of the issue. I couldn't care less if it was started in the Religion forum. The thing that's supposed to be funny about this thread is that it makes fun of the idea that KSM did the things he's confessed to and implies that he didn't do them. The reason why the people who think it's funny do think it's funny is that they'd prefer to believe that the White House coerced a false confession from him, and a few of them probably also think that the White House is behind 9/11 etc. I won't let them get away with that nonsense even in the disguise of humor. If you notice, my initial thread simply made fun of them, which
you failed to recognize as humor. I guarantee you that if a conservative here put a joke in the Humor forum which was based on making fun of a liberal precept, there would frequently be liberals posting in the thread to take exception to it. The confession of KSM strongly suggests that nobody connected with the president was behind 9/11, which is an absurd idea anyway, and that many of the people at Guantanamo Bay are very, very dangerous terrorists who richly deserve to be there, and that the imprisonment of most of these people is serving a useful purpose.
