Caught unawares, dithering, scared, etc.

For the record, would you be so kind as to list these 'disputes' and how they arose?
I would be interested in know whether there is a code of conduct for moderators? If there is, it should be publically available. If not it would explain why there is no consistency and some cases...
This would justify Hamas' use of terrorism?
Your second sentence is the weakest element of SWC.

You seem a bit confused... again.
Your final sentence counters the premise in your first sentence as applied to Russia.
Arguing for the sake of arguing is pretty ridiculous don't you think?

Another example of a misrepresentation of what I said. Deliberate I'm sure but perhaps to you a nuke is a nuke and the yield of a tactical nuclear weapon is lost on you....
Outlaw, the smart guys don't think so, they believe that they are so smart that can just apply a little thought to the matter and come up with a workable solution. There is enough evidence to prove...
So you too misquote me.

Yes, the US currently is very confused about what is going on in the world right now.
Screwed up Libya, dithered on Syria until it boiled over, presided over a bad ending in Iraq, impotent with...
Look up 'Antonio Negri' and see where he is coming from. Maybe the difference is that you are doing it for the money and he for ideological reasons... but he seems to have missed that communism...
