Shame on you, Zero. Do I need to put that line back in my sig about lies?

And where did this come from anyway? It has no relevance whatsoever to this thread.

You don't like when I post thing that you have said? WHy would you call that lying?

Ok, let me rephrase: "I consider Russ's idea of ruling Iraq with an iron fist(your term, Russ, if I'm not mistaken) to be only a few steps away from Saddam Hussein's method." Better? None of this is a lie, Russ, and I was using it to illustrate that 'evil' is subjective and relative.

Better, but still incomplete and you know it. A lie doesn't just have to be something you have changed, it can also be the things you leave out. Not a whole lot of context to be found in a 2 word quote. I also don't remember using the term "evil regime," though its possible I just forgot.

Nope, evil regime was someone else...and, you are right, this is going WAY off topic...sorry, Russ, everyone else...

Hmm... Don't know what you guys were talking
about for 4 pages, 'cause I weren't online for about
2 weeks. But, I just wan'na say - Go China !
And, I think it'll be great if this will eventually
result in a new space race and get us to Mars faster
with better technologies and much greater funding !
(By us - I mean mankind of course. )
