tw, i get your point, and you may be right. in the end, it is ok if we disagree.

i do have to ask though (and i am being serious), do you drink before you post? quite often your coherency level plummets and i can't figure out the pattern.

if at some point in the next 20 or so years, i can get tw to JUST ONCE admit that there is a slight chance there are equal but different points of view than his own - my life will be a success.

and i will personally fund UT's retirement as a thank you for allowing us the bandwidth to argue.

since i'm pretty sure part one won't happen - sorry UT, don't get excited.

I don't have a problem with differing points of view. I have a very severe problem with opinions not based upon facts.

For example, a previous fact to keep women out of combat was only speculation; as also expressed in the movie "GI Jane". Where was the fact necessary to draw that conclusion? No such fact existed. But lookout123 already had an opinion. We are still waiting for him to state his facts on that issue. When confronted previously, lookout123 provided no facts.

In this thread, Lookout123 says Mark Felt should have acted differently. Name one thing he could have done. What could Felt do when all his superiors were actively or tacitly part of the conspiracy? I am again asking the same question of Lookout123 that he did not answer when he so criticized Mark Felt earlier. Lookout123 - for something like the third time: what should Mark Felt have done? Please feel free to provide some facts such as what he could have done AND why he could have done it.

One is suppose to first learn facts before having an opinion. Fine. If lookout123 has an opinion that Mark Felt had other options, then Lookout123 can also say what Mark Felt should have done. After all, lookout123 would never post without first obtaining facts. So clearly lookout123 also has facts as to what Mark Felt should have done. Lookout123 criticized Mark Felt. Then he also can tell us what Mark Felt could have done instead. So for the third plus time, what could Mark Felt have done instead of becoming Deep Throat?

Lookout123 has an opinion based in facts. Therefore we await the judge's decision of what Mark Felt should have done.

A rather interesting question. Which are examples of up and down - so as to put them against dates, local, etc?

It's called HWL - humor without a license. Better is to leave jokes only to professionals.

I think he's reached the point where he's just saying to himself "f*ck it, nothing's going to make it better, so I'll just stick to the old game plan"
