True, but in your case your lies have been easily revealed by looking at your quotes that I've supplied here in neat, chronological order. Like you say, if you want to lie you have to be "clever about it", but you haven't. You've been very clumsy and stupid, and the chronological order I put your quotes in shows exactly where you've lied and how many times on just about every issue raised here for years now. >>>What about deliberately >>>taking quotes out of context to give a false impression? >> >> I don't do that.

Show me where in the list of chronologically-ordered quotes you failed to interrupt and note further down this page. >>>> who don't fabricate >>>> family members and use them for personal anecdotes concerning >>>> the alleged benefits of eating meat, >>> >>>I don't recall doing that. I referred to hypothetical children when >>>discussing abortion in another newsgroup. >> >> No, you're still lying, and here are your quotes to prove it; >> >> "My wife and I had two kids .. " >> Dutch Jun 30 2003 http://tinyurl.com/ssm99 > >That WAS a hypothetical, as were the neighbours in the sentence. That is >obvious. Not when put alongside your others where you try to build this bogus little family of yours, it isn't. That's a definite statement declaring you and your wife have had two kids. >> "During my wife's pregnancies *I* ended up doing >> most of the housework ..." >> Dutch Jan 19 2006 http://tinyurl.com/yz4dsw > >Alt.abortion So, you lied to those over there as well, did you? >> "No child is born into ideal circumstances. Were you? >> I sure wasn't. My wife wasn't, neither were my kids." >> Dutch Feb 20 2006 http://tinyurl.com/yb4dhz > > Alt.abortion Why did you try to include yourself among a group of people discussing abortion and then lie to them all by including ethically relevant information, that you had 2 kids? Why couldn't you be honest with them and tell them you didn't have any, or, at the very least, not say anything about having a family at all? >> "I don't want my kids seeing cancer surgery or videos >> of assaults or anything that might cause them undue >> emotional distress. They're children." >> Dutch Jun 30 2006 http://tinyurl.com/ybu8kq > >Hypothetical No, those "kids" in that sentence definitely exist as your "children". You can't get out of that one. "They're children." >> Those aren't hypothetical children; they're children you >> claim exist and weren't "born into ideal circumstances." > >That doesn't mean they weren't hypothetical You've given them existence by describing their living circumstances as not ideal, you oafish liar. They aren't hypothetical once you said they were carried and born into circumstances that weren't ideal. >> You claimed to have done most of the housework >> during your wife's pregnancies. > >It fit in alt.abortion, it's true I do half the housework. But your wife wasn't pregnant carrying those bogus kids like you said she was when you were doing all that extra housework, you stupid liar. I've left you some room here to commit a more evil lie. Are you going to take it up and now claim that she lost her babies? It certainly wouldn't surprise me to see you do it, so go on, give it a try. >> You said that you didn't >> want them seeing certain videos because "they're children." >> These aren't hypothetical children, liar, they're children >> you claim exist and belong to you and your wife. You >> see, you just can't stop lying, can you? > >They're hypothetical children. No, liar Ditch, they're two members of your invented family that revealed "one of vegetarianism's dirty little secrets." "As I have mentioned here before, failure to thrive is one of vegetarianism's dirty little secrets. I have experienced it first- hand, *my family* returned to eating meat after 18 years as vegetarians because of it. Dutch Aug 5 2004 http://tinyurl.com/yd5u5a Anecdotal evidence which includes a bogus family that "returned to eating meat after 18 years as vegetarians" doesn't reveal "one of vegetarianism's dirty little secrets." All it does is reveal one of your dirty little secrets. >>>> who don't pretend to advocate >>>> the proposition of animal rights one week only to then argue against >>>> it the next, >>> >>>Well, I guess one can never change one's opinion in Derek's world. >> >> You've changed your position on this issue back and forth >> and then back again when forced to explain it, and that's >> why anyone who decides to discuss the proposition of >> animal rights with you would be wasting their time. Let's >> go over it again to see exactly where you've lied.

If human rights did not exist, rights for >> animals would not exist." >> Dutch Sun, 18 Apr 2004 http://tinyurl.com/3s6pz >> >> and >> >> "If they are inherent in humans then why are >> they not in some way inherent in all animals? >> I think rights are a human invention which we >> apply widely to humans and in specific ways in >> certain situations to other animals." >> ... >> "There is no coherent reason why humans ought >> to be prohibited from extending some form of >> rights towards animals in their care." >> ... >> "I am firmly on flat ground. Human created rights, >> we apply them to all humans at birth, and we apply >> versions of them to certain animals in limited ways >> within our sphere of influence." >> Dutch 18 May 2005 http://tinyurl.com/bu7nb >> >> and >> >> "I measure my right to be free from physical assault >> by looking if laws and sanctions exist against anyone >> who would assault me.

That's very strange because further up this page I wrote, "The quotes I provide here from you are always in context and provided with a link and a date." You replied, "You're lying, for example you have frequently inserted a quote from before the time you KNOW I changed my opinion on animal rights and used it to claim that I am lying or I am flip-flopping back and forth when I say that I oppose it at a later date." If that's true why didn't you indicate where on that above list of chronologically-ordered quotes? You've left the whole lot of them in-tact without showing where I frequently insert a quote that shouldn't belong there. >> And now, this week you switched back again and tried >> to attack the proposition with an article you plagiarised >> from Stephen Vantassel. Those quotes are yours, and >> the context is left in for all to see, so stop trying to get >> yourself off the hook by insisting I've taken your quotes >> out of context. I haven't, so stop lying. >It's amazing that you have the gall to sit there and claim that those quotes >are not taken out of context, when I know for a fact that YOU know that they >are. They are in context and chronological order to show where you've switched position back and forth, and then back again.

We've established that there was no demand on you until after you made your categorical statements. If you're going to declare, "I categorically refuse to use any treatment shown to have been developed using human subjects against their will." Dutch Nov 26 2002 http://tinyurl.com/ppzvj and "If modern medicine were built on the use of unwilling humans, I would certainly refuse it." Dutch Nov 28 2002 http://tinyurl.com/sx9po refusing to foreswear those treatments now admittedly acknowledged as having such a history as you described necessarily means that you lied when making those statements; you weren't going to refuse them. |
