What do you call someone who tries to incite a flamewar? Oh yeah, a troll.

Indeed, and since it was you who started with the flamable comments...

"If we include this do I get to say the US funded terrorism against the UK because a large amount of IRA funding came from US Citizens?"

If you find a statement of fact as inciting a flame war then the fault obviously lies with yourself.

It really isn't my fault you can't except facts you don't like without flaming.

EDIT:
Finn's responce to disagreement:
Sounds like bullshit to me.

Very substantive, not at all inflammatory, well done Finn.

The factuality of the statement has nothing to do with it; the issue is whether you were trolling for an argument, which you were. A large portion of Al Qaeda’s funding came from Britain; that’s a fact. Trying to pass that statement off as a critique of the British without context who, by and large, are not supporters of Al Qaeda is disingenuous. How is that any different then criticizing, out of the blue, American private denotations as funding the IRA? It’s not. In fact, I would call it bullshit, and I did.

I wasn't, finn, exactly the opposite in fact. But hey if you want to call saying the US wasn't financially supporting the IRA bullshit, that's up to you.

Read my statements over a few times in context, I'm sure you'll get it eventually. I can help you if you like, or you can, you know, continue to troll for an argument and oh so politely personally attack anyone you disagree with.

Don't need to wait ten years, the UN needs to send some oberservers over for the next elections anyway. In light of recent electoral shortcomings, it's quite obvious that America needs external supervision when it comes to electing its leaders.



The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter.

So now you’re changing your story? Good. Because you’re original one stunk.

Terrorists have always found a way of getting money, and a great deal of it comes in the form of seemingly legitimate charities in the wealthy Western World, but to blanketly criticize charitable donations as supporting terrorism is a mistake, at best. US private overseas donations are often more then twice as large as the government aid, and the vast majority of that is not to terrorist organization.

I guarantee you that no more of my hard earned dollars went to kill innocent people in London, then your hard earned pounds went to kill innocent people in New York.
