Agreeing with me is wise...

I think Vader is giving some posters the benefit of the doubt when he calls them," Liberals." Some of them may be actual Jihadists and their knowing supporters.

Perhaps... with the Internet, one can never be absolutely sure. But I feel that in most cases, 99.99%... the term is just thrown about to be petty and piss people off.

But it's impossible to know the truth. So, "Liberal" is the most damning identity that can be alleged in polite company.

But Liberals are not always wrong. My wife is Liberal... while I am decidedly Conservative. They just have a different take and hope for the best regardless of the danger. That is not always good, but it is good to think about the good that can be had. Sometimes focusing on the negative creates what you fear most.

But just as we can't prove who might be a real Jihadist unless they confess, neither can we know that Vader's assertions are off the mark unless those people prove they are or aren't.

How does one "prove" that they aren't what one claims they are?
I have been called many things by extremists on this forum that are inaccurate... how do I defend myself? I tell the truth and the assholes that be don't care. Not you or he, but them...
I agree with you and Vadar on many things... I just think that there is a more constructive way to go about informing people.
