Anyone who lectures people on slavery but approves of places like Cuba has blown both of his rhetorical legs off at the hip. I was just pointing this out.

Interesting that when I was accused of loving slavery, war, and "getting off" on blood and gore, not to mention racism, that this "trite rhetoric" didn't seem to faze you at all.

        QED is an acronym for a phrase in Latin meaning something like "Thus it is proven". - ER - 7/23/2013 3:51:39 AM

        Which one of us were you addressing with that little post? - Robert - 7/22/2013 6:46:22 PM

        Apparently, you don't want to talk about what I want to talk about. - ER - 7/22/2013 4:09:19 AM
        
        Not only trite, but off the point, irrelevant, misleading. - bowser - 7/21/2013 11:17:17 PM
      - Jody, it never hurts to remember what slavery actually IS. - TB - 7/21/2013 7:22:03 PM
        
        You do. McDonalds or the military. Some choice, eh? - bowser - 7/21/2013 10:16:11 PM
        
        Well, that wasn't trite at all. - TB - 7/22/2013 1:00:29 AM
        
        No, but it was right on target. - ER - 7/22/2013 1:54:47 AM
