"The"? That implies just one. There are many. Actually... I could write a book.

I never said that. I never do that to you either. That is a false accusation and disparaging insinuation. I don't deserve that kind of bullying.

Really? If that's truly your main concern, please explain the reason for ugly accusations and rude insinuations about me. What's with all this "negging" of me?

More "negging". I don't do that. That's another false accusation. Frankly, I don't deserve to be treated this way and I'm not going to let anyone try to bully me into silence.

I think there's something important that you need to be told... It's not nice to accuse someone of being "nasty" simply because they disagree with you. And I can't believe you used the word "nasty" to describe me! Remember how Trump used it as a sexist slur against Hillary? And now you're using the word "NASTY" with reference to me?? Amazing.

Are you actually suggesting that you are an "oppressed person"? Are you feeling "persecuted"? Is someone trying to silence you?

I never made such a claim.

I never made such a claim.

Well... I guess that depends on how you look at it. I think the sexist and bullying aspect of calling someone "nasty" is an attempt to shut-down the conversation and to make someone shut-up.

Scroll up.

Yes... and... what's your point? I disagree with some people here... so? Some people disagree with me... so? Reasonable and mature adults can have political disagreements without feeling "insulted" or "hurt" or "attacked". It happens all the time. What's the big deal?

I'm only hurt and upset when someone accuses me of being "nasty".

I get upset when I'm falsely accused of treating people as if they were less than human. I never do that an you know it! That's no reason to treat me like I'm some sort of witch. (FYI: "Nasty" is just cutesy code-talk for calling someone a B or a C without actually saying the word.)

Uh... no, thank you. For obvious reasons, that's not a good idea.

Who's making that assumption? (Strawman. Irrelevant.)

Who's making that argument? (Strawman. Irrelevant.)

Irrelevant. Strawman. That's not what this is about. You're changing the subject as per usual.

See response #12. The one that starts off with: It's a naive and unrealistic approach. Or a very clumsy phrase... because our nation does not sign treaties or enter into accords with a nation's citizens. Such things are typically done with their government or their leaders (whether elected or not.) Now, our country can seek to improve how we are perceived with the citizens of another country. We can employ propaganda or promote positive public relations... but that's definitely NOT the same thing as an actual "partnership".

You're now trying to change the subject... move the goalposts... and redefine how our nation actually enters into treaties, accords or agreements with other nations.

So I'll repeat something that I've said to you many times before. Just because you change a few words and reword your question or your premise or your objection/s MY RESPONSE WILL REMAIN THE SAME.
