He's been told that many times now. The whole "persecuted Christian" thing is another one of the delusions that verlch cannot let go.



Should we add it to the very long list of verlch unsupported claims?

I recall telling him time and again that the "poor persecuted Christina" thing is a fallacy on his part in attempts to get him to actually address the issues he's been dodging. He loves trotting out the "you're persecuting me" line when he's loosing the arguement and he is being actively pressed for evidence for his assertations.

I mistakenly thought it was already on the list. But he has recently rephrased number 126.

Success of the new government and the realization of a freemason ideal of government for the people by the people. verlch is flat out wrong.

Your prejudgical language fallacy doesn't fly here. China is most favored status as a trade partner because of economics. MFN status is given to China so that we will be able to trade with them. Access to over 1 billion consumers require it from our elected leaders.

We did the whole "plane in the Pentagon" thing. We determined that the hole was larger than 17 feet and there was no way a jet of the appropriate size did not hit the Pentagon. The evidence is there.

Hijacking planes was simplier before 9/11. A coordinated effort by a terrorist team fulfilled it's objective.

Actually it's great. Really, it's the only way, if you can keep it under control.

Welcome Ryujun.

First, it is not a good idea to start off with "[anyone who doubts me] is plain out ignorant", if you really do want us to ask questions of you.

You said:
quote:
george bush's new world order is now a success

My question is, what do you mean by this? The state of the world looks pretty much the same as it did before Bush was elected; except the US is fighting a little more overtly to control the oil supply of the world.

You have a rich fanatic using religious fanatics to hijack the planes, what is so difficult to believe about that?

This whole missle hit the pentagon crap has been thouroughly debunked. There are plenty of pieces of wreckage if you would go to nonconspiracy sites you could see them too. As far as finding large pieces, a relatively fragile plane traveling at 500 mph and hitting a concrete building does not leave alot of large pieces.
You saw with your own eyes a plane hit the world trade center right, so where is the wreckage? After the first hit there were cameras all around the trade center - I didn't see any large pieced of wreckage, did you?




If I knew then what I know now then I would know more now than I know.

You mean like the ignorance you demonstrate a bit farther down?

quote:
....for crying out loud its on the one dollar bill "annuit cueptis" meaning our enterprise.......meaning "its a success"....whats a success?.....novus ordo seclorum...meaning "new world order"....


You know, you can find the correct translations of these mottoes by the simple expedient of Googling them. Dig:

quote:
The Latin motto "novus ordo seclorum" was suggested by Charles Thomson when he put together the final design for the reverse side of the Great Seal in June 1782:

"On the base of the pyramid the numerical letters MDCCLXXVI & underneath the following motto. 'novus ordo seclorum'"...

"Novus" means: new, young, fresh, novel. "Ordo" means: series, row, order. "Seclorum, a shortened form of seculorum (sæculorum), is the plural of seculum (sæculum), means: generations, centuries, ages.

Latin expert Charles Thomson coined the motto: "novus ordo seclorum" and explained:

"The date underneath [the pyramid] is that of the Declaration of Independence and the words under it signify the beginning of the new American Æra, which commences from that date."

The U.S. State Department translation of "novus ordo seclorum" is:

"A new order of the ages"

NOTE: "Novus ordo seclorum" was not intended to mean (nor does it correctly translate into) "new world order." Seclorum is plural (new worlds order?). And Thomson said the motto refers to the new American era beginning in 1776. Also, "new world order" is originally an English phrase whose Latin translation would not be "novus ordo seclorum."


Source: http://www.greatseal.com/mottoes/seclorum.html (you can also find the translation and history of "annuit coeptis" there)

In Revolutionary times the educated classes had Latin literally whipped into them as students. It's extremely unlikely that such a basic grammatical error as a plural/singular conflict would have survived to wind up on an official national symbol.

For people who want to play the prophecy-fulfillment game, I highly recommend a reading of chapter 38 of The Innocents Abroad. Twain's comment on prophecy-thumping is as relevant today as it was in 1867:

quote:
The fashion of delving out fulfillments of prophecy where that prophecy consists of mere "ifs," trenches upon the absurd. Suppose, a thousand years from now, a malarious swamp builds itself up in the shallow harbor of Smyrna, or something else kills the town; and suppose, also, that within that time the swamp that has filled the renowned harbor of Ephesus and rendered her ancient site deadly and uninhabitable to-day, becomes hard and healthy ground; suppose the natural consequence ensues, to wit: that Smyrna becomes a melancholy ruin, and Ephesus is rebuilt. What would the prophecy-savans say? They would coolly skip over our age of the world, and say: "Smyrna was not faithful unto death, and so her crown of life was denied her; Ephesus repented, and lo! her candle-stick was not removed. Behold these evidences! How wonderful is prophecy!"

Smyrna has been utterly destroyed six times. If her crown of life had been an insurance policy, she would have had an opportunity to collect on it the first time she fell. But she holds it on sufferance and by a complimentary construction of language which does not refer to her. Six different times, however, I suppose some infatuated prophecy-enthusiast blundered along and said, to the infinite disgust of Smyrna and the Smyrniotes: "In sooth, here is astounding fulfillment of prophecy! Smyrna hath not been faithful unto death, and behold her crown of life is vanished from her head. Verily, these things be astonishing!"
