Oh yes! G.W. Bush forced those terrorists onto the planes and forced them to fly into the twin towers killing 3000 people. No wait I bet he flew the planes himself and jumped out at the Last minute.

We were the ones that were attack idiot! You know I can respect the attack on the Pentagon because it is a valid military target. But how would you like it if your friends and relatives went to work one day and then have to watch as the buildings they work in come tumbling down.

and all you can say is:

You are probably on of those people who thinks we shouldn't have a military. Give me a break!!

Actually that doesn't say anything. That's a sound bite. A quip. A sarcastic comment with no substance.

Bush is responsible for us going from peace and prosperity to war and depression?

War came to us. We didn't ask anyone to blow up the World Trade Center. Those plans were put in place during the previous administration. Does that mean they are Clintons fault? Of course not! They are the fault of those that did them.

And secondly we aren't in a depression. We are in a recession, and a fairly mild one at that. Most of the economic problems are a result of fear caused by the downturn in t

No it is not the wrong thread

Suddenly from 16 pages this thread is reduced to 2?

When I submitted my post, I thought I was somehow transported to another thread.

Does deleted pages happen very often?

Anyways, here is the post I had made, deleted and make again.

It may not make much sense to some people because of the intervening lost pages.

But it does outline my position with my Posts in the face of certain criticisms.
=============================================
Fyron, here is an example where I don't like using the edit button when the pace is fast and furious.

In this thread,
1) I made a post at 13:56
2) Mephisto made a post at 14.05
3) At the same time Mephisto made his post, I edited my post (at 14:05).
4) At 14:06, I posted a reply to Mephisto.
5) At 15:04, Mephisto amended his posting to include my edited posting.

Now anyone reading the posting with think "What the f...! What is tbontob talking about in reading his edited posting."

I think I'll go back to my usual way of doing things.

If things are fast and furious, I will post a new posting.

If things are not fast and furious, I will edit my post in my usual manner.

Whether things are fast and furious or not will be my judgement call.

So, it will just have to be something you are going to have to accept.

And if you can't, well it is your problem, not mine!

EDIT: I am not rigid on this. If God or the administrators of this site dictate I should post in a different manner, then I will comply.

But that is unlikely.

God has not spoken to me recently.

Nor have the administrators.

And the Last time I looked, you did not administer this site.

You're right, tbontob! This topic used to be a LOT longer than 2 pages! What happened?! There was a lot of interesting discussions on those pages that vanished. Are they gone forever now?

Yeah, who's the wise guy that decided to kill off our discussions?
