You know what, Scott? You are absolutely right. That text IS worth the read
and anyone who is wondering if the Guardian harbors fools or fellow
travelers or not ought to go read it and carefully think about the bile that
this author spews.
While there are out of context true facts in it, and snippets of it that are
worth thinking about, taken as a whole, this text evinces a disdain for the
whole concept of freedom, peace and justice, as it goes about smearing the
US and all of Western Civilisation.
That you have beat me over the head with this text so many many times with
it finally brings me to actually respond (I read it the first time and
dismissed it as spew, hoping that by ignoring your own spew you'd stop).
Yes, everyone should go read it.
Go read it carefully.
Go read this distortive filth and see what it is that Scott and his ilk hold
up as appropriate and good and right. "down with the evil US", indeed.
Expect a response from Scott along the lines of "but can you refute fact x?"
or claiming that I don't know what freedom is, again.
Scott, you're a chump. Bad manners or not, it needs saying. Your actions
demonstrate it, your lack of debating, composition and reading skills
highlight it, and this sort of tripe really really brings it to the fore.
I again call for a banishment vote, in which the other readers of .debate
decide if they really really are interested in your spew.

| (...) Hmm. It looks like it does not agree with you view, so you start throwing mud. For the record, I think that is the 1st time Arundhati Roy (a booker prize winner - so no fool) has written for the Guardian. (...) Show us where the distortion is. (...)

| Sometimes sacrifices have to be made Larry. Innocent people are being sacrificed in Afghanistan right now as we speak. Our armed forces are already risking their lives, and some special ops guys (& gals?) *may* already have died. If this converts to (...) (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
