Kurt tried, I would call it a bumbling attempt but I know that word bothers him, to turn it around on me. But that doesn't really fly for two reasons. I'm the one putting out the possibility of certain things for which there's no proof and asking if you can accept them. I'm certainly not using the lack of proof as a reason to demand anything of you, as the mendacious Kurt said. And secondly, the challenge to use some honesty and imagination is yours not mine.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-42384654289713131362014-12-08T17:21:34.900+01:002014-12-08T17:21:34.900+01:00I presume TS spent a good hour researching my arch...I presume TS spent a good hour researching my archives and came up empty.

Your bizarre twisting of my suggestion about "using your imagination" is typical mendacious bullshit on your part. Many things we discuss on this blog cannot be proven with evidence because for some things no evidence exists. For example, my hidden criminal thing. You like to pretend the world is simple and divided between criminals and law abiding people. My response is to use your imagination and honesty and estimate how many of the never-convicted-of-a-felony gun owners are other than law-abiding. There's no proof. But anyone who's the least bit honest should be able to admit that there are many hidden criminals out there. <br /><br />But, I guess this is where we part. You're not honest enough to argue fairly.
