| What is this person saying? Said by finoritis:
"And Richard Nixon (who not only got impeachment charges brought against him for Watergate, but also for abusing the IRS tax auditing system to "deal with" "political enemies" was just as much a conservative as Ted Kennedy was a liberal. And in the end, I wouldn't view either as better... And does anyone know be it the party affiliation, or whether Hoover would have classified himself as a conservative or liberal? With people like Hoover though, it little matters either way. Cointelpro was still Cointelpro, and his dealings were exactly what they were....Then one can throw in the "divine right of kings" and all that could lead too...."
"But as to Hitler and the Nazis, lets see the Swatsticka, where I have seen that before (not in Nazi Germany), but it's symbolic meaning....the origins of much of the symbology used. If some were right the Io Hitler might have had religious significance, and that there were those in the Nazi party practitioners of "black magic"... I won't state it is or isn't so as such, but if one were to look for the history of some of the symbology and the like, they might find something of interest in seeing what preceded some of what was presented...."
"You know what I find interesting, and some might chose to take it with a grain of salt without a provided reference, which I don't have in front of me (lets just say I've read a lot over the years, and even decades)."
"Purportedly, Mahatma Gahndi was considering converting to Christianity...but in the end he basically said to the effect of "Christians seem to take an innoculation of truth as testimoney against the real thing...." But he went on to say that even as the defects of Christianity were becomming apparent to him, so the defects of Hinduism were becoming increasingly apparent to him as well.... Supposedly (where did I see this), some weren't happy that he should have dared to say this...and yet one can also wonder who might have been closer to the source, if you will, in all this as well..."
Question: Does anybody understand what this person is saying, or what their point is? I don't criticize or disagree, I don't understand. | |
| When someone takes bits and pieces of SEPERATE posts, and throws them all together as they weren't written, throwing it at the end of a thread, completely out of context, no wonder.
I could gather fragments of quotes, and throw them all together while leaving the context and placement of them out of the picture on just about anyone's postings (including yours probably), and pretty much make it look as such. If you want to inquire, do so more directly, in context, in direct reply, and without butchering, piecing together, thx.
In fact the manner in which you replied at the end I'm sure could tend to confuse many, if they don't go back and read the thread all over again.... It's like eaves dropping on a conversation one is having on the phone, and only hearing/presenting what one party is saying, despite there was a conversation. There's a reason things are organized into replies (which are given in context and as part of a conversation, not in a vacuum), and sites that don't mantain good contextual relationships in given threads, I tend to avoid, or when the threads grow too large, start another or say no more. It gets to be too much of a pain, when the structure for replies isn't mantained well, and isn't there....
If I were to look at a bunch of fragmentary quotes lined one after another (sometimes fragmentary from the same post, and sometimes from different one's, with no distinguishing characteristic of which is which), and no context provided, no coverage of preceding statements responded to, etc.....I would very much conclude that such a fragmentary presentation isn't sufficient to make comment upon.
Furthermore I would have absolutely no desire to have to go back and re-read everything to establish that which is being left out, reintegrate things as written...so I would probably chose just not to comment, much as I do when threads get long on boards that fail to mantain any form of posting organization so you can know who's post is in reply to whom evers...
