So no, you can’t. You just accuse people of things whether they’re true or not. I’m not sure why you think it’s okay to lie.
I don't know what to tell you, I'm not Burt Reynolds. You just accuse people of things whether they’re true or not. I’m not sure why you think it’s okay to lie.
I didn't accuse you of being a democrat, you just inferred that I did and started calling me a liar. Would you like to get back on topic?
Your words. And no, I do not usually accuse people of things for which I do not have evidence. You do not speak for me on that any more than you speak for me on what political party I I’m a member of. You do not get to dictate these things.
Can we calm down a little, you don't need to be so combative.
Those are my words, and that was your inference. "you" was referring to citizens of the United states. I could have made that more clear. I am sorry for that, I can be a not so great communicator at times. You can apologise for calling me a liar now.
With that little distraction dealt with can we discuss the topic civilly? Maybe, we can assume each other are rational human beings, that want similar things, and aren't out to accuse each other of random shit? Please?
I apologise for the misunderstanding. It is something that people say to me all the time and it gets to me. I’m really tired of people just announcing that I’m a member of the Democratic party when I simply am not. It happens here all the time and it’s just infuriating. But I accept that’s not what you were doing, so I apologise.
Yeah, I can understand that, I empathise with the frustration. We're good.
