I would just like to observe that these sorts of statements detract from your argument rather than add to it. -
Such statements tend to turn up quite a lot, from the same few people, when they haven't actually got an argument!Originally posted by David-G View Post
As regards what a police state is, here's one of many definition pages:

I don't really have "an argument" as there really is no point in trying to discuss with someone so pompous and self obsessed...............Originally posted by David-G

Either I'm going nuts or there's a problem with this thread. Is anyone else seeing the same message about 6 times?

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Yes, there appears to be a problem with David-G's computer/Internet system. It keeps sending repeats of the same message. So far, at least three threads are thus affected.Comment

That's one of the definitions of trolling, isn't it? Joining threads just to wind people up, with no intention to actually engage with the subject. And then you have the nerve to accuse Mr P - who posts nothing like as much as you do and who fits none of the established definitions of a troll, whether you agree with his views or not - of trolling.
And just to ram the point home, what's "pompous and self-obsessed" about the post that you first attacked? Here it is:
"I'm afraid I'm not with you there, Budapest, though I have been on many of your recent posts.
It's a fact that the authorities in the USA can now do things they couldn't before some of the statutes you mention were passed - legally, that is. But the USA is most definitely not a police state. Go and talk to some of those who lived in East Germany or some of the Russian satellite states before the wall came down. They'll tell you what a real police state was like."Comment
