    So you’re not going to explain how you came to the conclusion that the us occupation government in Afghanistan wasn’t responsible for opium production while it was in power and you’re also not gonna provide any source for the facts that led you to that conclusion?

    I never said that. why do you think lying, especially when there’s evidence of what I DID say, will win you any “points” or whatever you’re after here?

    I drew no conclusions as there was no evidence to support such a conclusion.

    you’re welcome to prove - with evidence - how you came to that conclusion. As of now, none has been provided to support that conclusion. Someone asserted that and provided some link, but the evidence did not back up their claim.

    so, keep raging, but you’re wasting your time trying to twist my words into something I never said.

      Here I go repeating myself again:

      You, in this post:

      twisting yourself into knots just to blame the US is absurd and not supported by the facts.

      The thing people are blaming the us for is increased opium production under the occupation of Afghanistan.

      So are you suggesting that the claim that the United States is responsible for opium production during the occupation of Afghanistan isn’t supported by the facts?

        twisting yourself into knots just to blame the US is absurd and not supported by the facts.

        so you admit that you lied about what I said, even quoting wha I actually did say to PROVE you lied, yet…

        The thing people are blaming the us for is increased opium production under the occupation of Afghanistan.

        you misrepresent a handful of commenters as “people’ making it seem like this is a commonly-held argument that rational people actually believe — without any evidence to back it up… or any evidence that it’s even true.

        so, based on these lies and bad-faith twisting of the argument, why should I engage with this discussion further knowing full well you’ll just continue to lie and twist my words because that’s exactly what you’ve been doing this whole time?

        So are you suggesting that the claim that the United States is responsible for opium production during the occupation of Afghanistan isn’t supported by the facts?

        see? you couldn’t even make it to the end of that comment before you did it again!

        can you not control it? is the lying a compulsion for you? I mean… the evidence of what I said is right there yet you insist I said something I clearly didn’t. it’s… very strange.

        • can you not control it? is the lying a compulsion for you? I mean… the evidence of what I said is right there yet you insist I said something I clearly didn’t. it’s… very strange.

          Why do you need to insult soneone who has veen nothing but respectful in their interaction with you? You refuse to commit, you are not discussing anything, you are provocing and trying to put down your conversation partner.

            sorry for your troubles. I recommend you seek medical or psychiatric help.

          So let me summarize:

          You won’t tell me what I’ve lied about. You won’t clarify your position. You won’t confirm or deny what statements of fact you accept. You won’t accept the other posters in this thread as people (???).

          You asked why you should engage in this discussion any further. I don’t believe you should. You seem to have nothing to say even when asked clear, direct questions intended to give you a platform to speak. There is no discussion here.

          If, on the other hand, you do want to keep going (you do not have to. You can just not respond. No one will judge you.):

          Based on your statement

          twisting yourself into knots just to blame the US is absurd and not supported by the facts

          Which was made in the context of other users blaming the United States for production of opium during the occupation of Afghanistan, I surmised you meant that the claim that the United States is responsible for opium production during the occupation of Afghanistan isn’t supported by the facts.

          Was I wrong in that? If so, what blame being placed on the us isn’t supported by the facts?

              I’m not trolling. I haven’t insulted or accused you of anything and I’ve tried my level best to treat you with the kindness of Christ and patience of Job.

              I’d like to know what you meant by

              twisting yourself into knots just to blame the US is absurd and not supported by the facts

              I took a look at the context, which was users blaming the us for opium production during its occupation of Afghanistan, and surmised you meant that the claim that the United States is responsible for opium production during the occupation of Afghanistan isn’t supported by the facts.

              Was that a wrong assessment? If so, what blame being placed on the us isn’t supported by the facts?

                  I want to understand what you meant. Ive refined my question to be as straightforward and clear as possible over our entire conversation.

                  If you think you’re being trolled then just don’t respond. Look away. Do something else.

                  If you are willing to have a conversation based on the thread topic:
