    Delusional. when will it sink in to their thick skulls that sovereignty is not up for debate.

    It won’t.

    He is trying to claim a win where none exists and he knows that.
    Par for the course I’m afraid.

    I particularly liked, ‘Sporting matters are one thing and matters of national identity another’.

    Well, not when you display a banner like that at a world cup match, they are not.

    He knows that as well.

    Political suicide for an Argentine politician to admit that the Falklands aren't Argentinian. Their constitution forbids it.

    ‘Milei and and one other President rely on depends. As he has shown they don't always work’

    Err, sorry, but the sentence seems somewhat, incomplete, doesn’t really make any sense?

    Or are you pissed?

    And yet you got two votes?

    Neither does that post make any sense.

    You are becoming increasingly incoherent.

    Perhaps you should get yourself checked out, or lay off the booze for a while.

    “Neither does that post make any sense.”

    Of course it doesn't to you, as you have no facts to refute my proven assertions
    Opinions are like buts, every one has got one. Just some stink more than others.

    Fact:
    A fact is something that is true and can be verified.
    It is objective, meaning it doesn’t depend on personal feelings or interpretations.
    Facts can be proven through evidence or reliable sources.
    Example: Water boils at 100°C at sea level. This is a scientific fact that can be measured and tested.

    Opinion:
    An opinion is a belief, view, or judgment formed by someone.
    It is subjective, meaning it is influenced by personal feelings, experiences, or preferences.
    Opinions can’t be proven true or false because they are based on individual perspectives.
    'Clinker', it's understandable. why you would deny such a reality. Hits to close to home.

    Yes, well, irrespective of the definitions of ‘facts’ and ‘opinions’, which was never in question anyway:

    ‘Milei and and one other President rely on depends. As he has shown they don't always work’

    Does not make any sense, does it? No it doesn't

    Would you care to explain it?

    The comment that is, not your responses to being questioned.

    Your inference is they are not full of shit, like you!

    I’m not ‘inferring’ anything, I’m asking what you mean by the statement:

    ‘Milei and and one other President rely on depends. As he has shown they don't always work’.

    Which doesn’t make sense in English, however you define ‘facts’ and ‘opinions’.

    Would you care to explain what it is supposed to mean?

    “Which doesn’t make sense in English”

    Based on your unqualified opinion?

    They both literaly and figrativily spew extrerment. Like you they are unable to substantiate their claims.
    So you nicely into their composite of inveterate lying.

    There you go again:

    ‘So you nicely into their composite of inveterate lying’.

    Which doesn’t make sense, the sentence seems incomplete.

    So are you saying that:

    ‘Milei and and one other President rely on depends. As he has shown they don't always work’.

    Is supposed to mean:

    ‘They both literaly and figrativily spew extrerment’, yes?

    Get yourself checked out mate, or at least use the spell check.

    But, such triviality!

    Equity regards substance rather than form.

    ”It used to be we thought that people who went around correcting other people's grammar were just plain annoying. Now there's evidence they are actually ill, suffering from a type of obsessive-compulsive disorder/oppositional defiant disorder (OCD/ODD).

    Still can't get over your first attack on me Jun 15th, 2020 when you got you blown right out of the water. Leaving you a sore loser ever since. You are so devastated you have never touched a factual issue since. Got to be tough when your only reason for being, is to be on what you thought was a winning side.

    Actually, I was talking about your spelling, for which there is no excuse given spell check.

    Although your grammar is bad and your syntax is appalling.

    Added to which now your sentences don’t make sense even allowing for all the above.

    And it was you that started on me and for absolutely no reason, I wasn’t even talking to you.

    And you have been paying the price for it ever since.

    ‘literaly and figrativily spew extrermently

    You will recall my repost at the time:

    ‘Terence Hill
    “Since its impossible to be anything else, as it can never be “both or neither..”

    I think you’ll find Schrodinger had a different view about that, apparently it’s the measurement problem, counted in cats would you believe.’

    And as ever since then, I was right and you were wrong.

    “And it was you that started on me and for absolutely no reason, I wasn’t even talking to you.”

    You're an absollute liar. The reverse was true. Here is your orignal failure and the why and wherefore.

    “Oh dear, the only thing I find is you were thoroughly thrashed. Got to be tough when your only reason for being, is to be on what you thought was a winning side. Let me remind you of your utter failing to defeat my claim “not proven” is not available to a claimant.

    I refer you to DemonTree’s post just below yours:

    ‘Terry just doesn't get it. He's like those cargo cultists who build something plane-shaped out of random materials and then expect it to fly. He's seen that people make arguments, accuse others of fallacies etc, but doesn't understand what an argument actually is, or the different contexts of a courtroom vs a formal debate vs chatting on a forum. So he treats it like a word game: if he can find a quote with the words he wants, then the context or meaning is irrelevant and he's 'won'.’

    ‘but doesn't understand what an argument actually is’.

    ‘if he can find a quote with the words he wants’, then the context or meaning is irrelevant and he's 'won'’.

    That says it all really.

    ‘literaly and figrativily spew extrerment’.
