Is the U.S. a Force for Good in the World?

[OldRegular]

On balance...after all considerations and acknowledging our failures...yes, absolutely yes.

PJ, I agree wholeheartedly, but only with fear and trepidation, because I will bring the wrath of the Ponch on my poor head, knotty from my past indiscretions.

Live by the rules you expect others to live by and we'll get along just fine.

Face it Ponch you are just a big fuzzy

I am a pretty easy going guy until someone tries to apply rules to me they have exempted themselves from.

We got along just fine until you started spreading those unfounded conspiracy theories around.

So you are unique, One of a Kind, in that regard

Ponch you are the resident, I should say the el supremo, conspiracy theorist on this BB. In fact when it comes to conspiracy theorists I would say you are "One of a Kind", that is, unique.

I think you got that twisted around to fit another one of those most favored false narratives of your's.

I'm more of a conspiracy analyst where as you are more of a conspiracy theorist.

The major difference is that I can and do provide piles of evidence to support my analysis.

You on the other hand are forced to duck and dodge, post silly GIFs and images, question my patriotism and accuse me of being in league with the "devil" whenever you are pressed to provide evidence to support the many unfounded but oft repeated corporate sponsored "conspiracy theories" aka "unfounded allegations" you have been quick to spread such as the fabled "Russian aggression" and "Russian invasion" of Ukraine theories that you have yet to prove are founded in actual fact.

Even after you have been given a whole year and then some to do it.

Wrath from a typewriter tough guy isn't so much to worry about.

Wrath from a typewriter tough guy isn't so much to worry about.

What OR fears most is that I might be right.

Hey, he's had over a year to provide evidence to support his allegations. So far all he's done is post pictures of animals and tell me how un patriotic I am for questioning the consensus.

And you've had over a year to pitch in and help him find that evidence but didn't. So where were you? And why are you here now?

To provide the evidence OR can't locate or chide me because I asked for something neither of you seem to be able to find?

You provide piles alright but looks like the smell would get to you after awhile.

I believe you have him pegged. I always wondered why that typewriter guy was there.Now I understand! The Ponch::type::type:

Uh oh sounds like somebody misplaced their monkey. :laugh:

You were beat the minute you started having animals do the talking for you. People who can prove what they are claiming is true don't have to act like you've been acting. They don't have to call people names, they don't have to question people's patriotism, they don't have to employ monkeys to do their talking, they don't have to ridicule people, they don't have to use buzz words they heard someone else use, they don't have to demonize people.

But you and your "friends" have to do all those things.

Instead of trying to save your own face by ridiculing and demonizing me maybe you should take some time to ask yourself why you can't prove your claims are true. By now I'm sure even the monkey knows why you can't.

Man up man, admit you let yourself be neo-conned again and learn from it this time.
