    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.

    “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

    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.

    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.

    Which tells you all you need to know about your intellectual level.

    I rest my case.

    P. S. You should get yourself checked out, repeating yourself, missing out words in sentences, misspelling even with a spellcheck, could all be something else than your natural stupidity and limited intellect.

    “You seem particularly sensitive about your tirade about ‘Brazilian toilet habits”
    The issue was in refuting your fascist buddies lying and your subsequent gas lighting.
    Then and now, as your own post shows.

    ”Ana Gabriela Verotti Farah, The Brazil Business, 17 May 2013
    Where Do I Put my Toilet Paper? Bathroom Bins
    Some people complain about it and say that, besides being weird, this practice is also unhygienic, because people's dirty papers stay there together for a long time instead of being flushed. But it is not that bad. Actually, it is very normal. Simply because we usually don't just throw the paper in the bin; we put a plastic bag inside this bin, and when it gets full – which is the equivalent to say 'constantly' –, it is changed for a new, empty and clear one.
    Brazilians don't usually throw away their toilet papers in the own toilet not only because of the trash bins, but also because we are taught that toilets can clog with paper. Also, the sewage system can't cope with the amount of toilet paper that would go straight to the water if it wasn't for the trash bins inside the bathrooms.”

    Anyway, never mind that now, over half of your recent posts have contained one or more ‘gibberish sentences’, yes!

    So, going forward, in order to help you, because I’m good like that, I’ll review your future postings and alert you to any ‘gibberish sentences’.

    So that you can try harder in future or at least use the spellcheck. You won’t feel the embarrassment because of your ‘weapons grade obliviousness’, another DT quote, you may recall.

    But it may save you some of the ridicule that upsets you so much.

    Oh no, no need to thank me, like I said I’m good like that.

    Now concentrate hard, focus, and let’s see if we can produce a ‘gibberish sentence’ free posting.

    Off you go and good luck, remember I’ll be here to point out any mistakes, I’m helpful like that.

    Your failure to deny any the accusations of lying, means your silence is acceptance.

    “In law, the silence of a party implies his consent.. . qui tacet, consentit-lit. he who is silent agrees. Thus, who keeps silent consents; silence means consent; silent consent is same as expressed consent; consent by conduct is as good as expressed consent. This is an implied term in law....”

    Thus they are proven, as silence is acquisition.

    However, on the upside no ‘gibberish sentences’, you just didn’t realise what you were admitting to.

    Fallacious shifting of the burden of proof occurs if someone makes a claim that needs justification, then demands that the opponent justify the opposite of the claim. The opponent has no such burden until evidence is presented for the claim.
