You do not know how to debate at all.
I said " They were military campaigns sanctioned by the Catholic Church" and then you told me I was wrong. Look above at your definition and explain to me how I am wrong. Your definition calls it a "holy war".
How is this any different than what ISIS is currently doing? It's a holy war in the name of their god.

Can you show me where on that list Iran invaded anyone? No, you can't, because you cannot debate. Someone makes a statement or asks a question and you try overwhelm them by copying and pasting in information which is irrelevant to the question.
As a country, have they attacked and invaded another country and declared war? According to your list, no, they haven't.
Now compare that to the track record of the US. How many countries have we invaded or attacked?

Our economy is in fact booming. Once again, you pick a single fact that looks bad try to make it sound like our economy is in the gutter. Want proof? What is the unemployment rate? No need to answer you can go back and complain about how we figure out unemployment for the past sixty wrong is wrong and how we need to change it RIGHT NOW.
Our economy is obviously sucking - one million jobs in three months

All you do is complain. This is what the Republican party has been doing since Obama got into office - crying like "children in a candy store".
The entire Republican platform has recently changed - they cannot complain about the economy any more because the economy is doing great. It won't even be part of the debate during the next election. |
