    Oh my. I don't think my character can survive such punishing attacks. I submit, MM I can't take it anymore.


    Please, please, please forgive me for pointing out your slip of the tongue/fingers and your subsequent attempts to fudge your way out of the morass. I promise, I'll look around for a proper nail that WILL hold that jello to the tree for you! Honest!

      The lie is you calling it a lie. You and I both know that you said you would be willing to suffer hardship (and how nice of you to wish this on others) if it meant Trump lost his re-election, so don't tell me you wouldn't be delighted if this situation negatively affected Trump enough to see him booted from the White House. Isn't this true?

        No - the lie is you calling it a lie that I called it a lie!

          That's the path you choose? More lies? So be it.

            Well, I was thinking I should model my behavior on yours...my hero...and that's the path you usually take... so

You even admitted that I was correct, but instead of leaving it at that, you continue with this lie that I must have "slipped up" in multiple posts and didn't actually say what I meant.

                  It's interesting the lengths you will go to falsely convince yourself that someone is wrong. It reveals you to be someone of low character.
                  Hmmm... the problem was NOT about "worse" or "worst" but that you jumped to the conclusion that I was proposing a worse/worst case scenario when I had no intention to do so. I then proposed two more scenarios that would be worse than the initial one. Your blunder originated with you reading all about Dr. Birx and mixed up her comments with my initial post. You made a blunder, and as a man of no integrity, you refused to acknowledge your blunder.

                      by new, I meant the last 3 years and the crisis. To be clear, I am quite aware of the fact that to say the government has always been truthful would be a delusion, nevertheless, the last 3 years are a new type of continuous deception and lies that takes the public trust of what is being heard an order of magnitude lower than ever before (at least). The probability we are being lied to has reached nearly 100%, and as such we must treat what we hear with the same level of suspicion as we would have treated what we heard for a Chinese or Russian government official in the past.

                      This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

                              Bovine Faeces. I pointed out that the number of US cases is higher than the figure you cited. Your link text said it was for "China", and I accepted that.

                              But your response is typical of the Conservative Republican Christians on this forum: rather than admitting to an undeniable error, accuse the person who's pointing the error out.

                                It's not a question of what you intended but what you actually did. You do realize that this entire kerfuffle could have been avoided if you had simply said, "You're right, this is a possible worse case scenario, but my point is..." and go from there.

                                So... want to try this again?
