Yea that's what happens when you give a 16 year old a machine gun, and tell him "your job is to stop these lunatics who have been bred to hate each other from killing each other.
But should it be allowed?
Should it be investigated?
I never said any of those things
No you didn't, but then I'm not claiming that you did say them.
What I am asserting is that you have not answered the questions asked of you.
Pointing out that you have not answered "Should allegations like that should be investigated", for example, is not an assertion that you have said they have not.
But what you have said is "Then of course we have the travesty of Northern Ireland, it was just yesterday that the government announced setting up a NEW enquiry into our troops at an initial cost of £150,000,000."
Would you like to clarify what you mean by that?
your problem is (I had to interrupt myself there, I just won £200) you imagine and add in words and meanings to what people say. For instance , you asked me if I approved of murder, it is a ridiculous question.
It's not ridiculous, given that you seem to be very much opposed to an enquiry into the actions of troops there. Given that an enquiry has already shown that soldiers shot at unarmed civilians, people who were running away, people who were already injured etc, and that as a result of those actions 13 people were killed, I think it's perfectly reasonable to conclude that there is a very strong possibility that they did commit murder.
By the way, have you stopped beating your wife?
Really?
Really?
Do you genuinely believe that you can equivalence that to the questions I've asked you as a way of showing that you can't answer them?
Anybody answering that question yes or no admits to having a wife and to having beaten her at some time in the past.
It is ludicrous to claim that the same problem applies to answering "
do you think it would be better if troops were allowed to murder civilians?"
There may be some people here who will think it's equivalent to what I asked you, but I am not one of them. Nor, I suspect, are you, but you're getting a bit desperate.
