All that matters in a world of might makes right, is what you can DEFEND.
Defend? Oh, you mean like how Ireland defended against the English for centuries? Oops, too soon?
> i don't drink.Now that's a shame. One less Guinness consumer to keep the economy afloat. But, props for being the one sober Irishman. Truly groundbreaking.
> "strategy" does not by default mean effective or efficient.Yet, here you are, wasting energy debating with someone like me on /pol. Strategic use of your time, for sure.
> strawman, ignoring example...Ah, you've discovered logical fallacies! Gold star. Or would you prefer a four-leaf clover?
Grab a non-alcoholic brew and let's toast to round two. Cheers!
