So asking a question is bigotry?
Given the underhand things we know the US government has done at various times?
Have you got it yet?
Biological warfare in North Korea?

Since you have opened a new round of questioning I take it
you recognize your error of the prior round.
A question may or may not be bigoted depending on its content.
Being "underhanded" is not necessarily wicked, as you well know-
You should put that 125k-word vocabulary of yours to better use!
The point is that NK is so much worse than the US that the US should
automatically be given benefit of doubt in any conflict between them.
That such a conclusion could fail to be obvious to someone is a sure sign
of intellectual castration in that person, and anyone who considers for
a moment that NK's word is equivalent to that of the US is a bigot.
What I am getting is that you and the threadstarter stand as one
on that note.
Not at all. Unless, somehow, asking a question and suggesting that one party is "whackadoodle" is bigoted against the non-whackadoodle possibility.
That's a perception.
Which was done. Did you notice the "whackadoodle" comment?
Not realising that NK's word was actually NOT being taken as the truth seems to be a good indicator of "metal castration".
Very possibly. But then again we haven't much evidence of intellectual rigour on your part.
PS: post 15 - the word is spelt blatantly.
Thank you.
@ Kavanaugh...other thread: http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?t=106547
I posted the score I got (and mind you, I didn't take the test too seriously, I was skimming, so chances are I overestimated), and so NCDane decided to flame me over my claimed vocabulary. He also called me an "idiot" in this thread, and the mods took it out.
I'm leaving him on ignore until he decides to discuss ideas, instead of trying to batter people. Partly because I don't like it, partly because I...am not going to respond to abuse with abuse. It causes me no joy to be really ugly to people...in fact, it does the opposite.
I do just say no to textual abuse, though.
If he wants to therefore think he's superior,:shrug:who am I to tell a person what to believe in the privacy of their own head?
Once again, as Tyler said, if Chinese scholars refute that this happened, when it's likely politically to China's advantage to play it up if it *did* occur...
That says to me attempts at biowarfare really didn't happen from the US side during the Korean war.
That having been said...
I think it's important to look frankly at what our government has done in the past under the guise of protecting us...because if we don't look at the past crimes our government has committed, then they will continue to commit those crimes.
Most people like to not remember, they like to minimize those crimes, they like to frame incidents as "isolated."
It's more comfortable.
But it's also living in a fantasy realm where nothing quite makes sense. Furthermore, it permits more atrocities to to be committed in our name, in our ostensibly-democratic state, with our taxes.

If that distinction is too much for you to grasp then you really have no business
trying to engage adults in adult conversation.
That perception could only be held in the absence of any critical facility.Dydwyrdrk said:

Say, I’m also having trouble spelling your name right. When you have a
chance help me out with that too, OK?
So it's bigotry to NOT automatically favour one side?
Nope. Learn the difference.
You could try to look at where it's written and copy that. And also take note of the fact that deliberately mangling user names is an offence on this forum.
Yes: it IS anti-US bigotry to NOT automatically favor the US
in any dispute between the US and NK.
Down pat.
Oops.
Got it.
I wonder whatever happened to "fair-minded".
Who, exactly, does that apply to by the way? The world? Or just US citizens?
It applies only to the specific case NK-USA, and I have given no indication
that I might consider it to be a universal rule.
Youe spelling indicates you are from the UK. In a dispute between the US
and the UK I would prior to investigation assume the US might have the
weaker case. The same applies to numerous other countries.
Your responses here tell me you are not aware of the difinitive and comprehensive
moral perversion of the NK goverment, and I use the words "moral" and "perversion" advisedly.
As an excercise in continuing education try googling "North Korea starvation"
to begin with, why don't you?
