I gave you a simple reference. They are called LINKS. the link was to an article on Wikipedia on Torture – the topic of this thread. You insist on engaging in off thread personal attacks. I brought you back to the topic. You refuse to engage because you have nothing to contribute. That’s fine. Just don’t waste our time. Go to wikipedia.org (here is the linky again and see if there is anything in the peer reviewed, open source dictionary on the subject of US torture that you can find fault with. If you are too lazy to do that, or too prejudiced to contribute meaningfully to society, please don’t curse at those who do. It’s just damn impolite.

I don’t even know what the hell this is supposed to mean. Are you now creating people for me to ascribe to? I’m not sure how I would ascribe to a person. maybe you could look that up on wikipedia and let me know.

Nice job on the long list, you are very good at copying and pasting. Your mother must be proud.

BTW, I guess the sarcasm was lost on you. I’ve been using the internet since 1993, starting with a 14k modem, and waiting hours for material to load. I really don’t think I need you to fill me in.

And Mary? Very clever on the ibid reference. You must have saving that for a special occasion.

Signed,
still not a fucking idiot
