I tend to assume that people, when using language, want to convey meaning. Thus, I assume that what they say is not entirely random.
If you want me to, though, I'll gladly stop assuming that when reading your posts, and read them in the same way that one listens to a parrot talking - devoid of any meaning whatsoever.

Unless you think that not acting for whatever one believes to be of import...makes one a hypocrite.

hypocrisy
n 1: an expression of agreement that is not supported by real conviction [syn: lip service]
I thought your point was that Battuss talks a lot about what's going on in Iraq but fails to back that up with actions and thus show real conviction, i.e. hypocisy.
Ofcourse, if you want to claim you were making another entirely irrelevant character attack (not standing up for his beliefs), that is fine with me, and my entire arguments still stands firmly.
