Well, the thing is, someone else -- not you -- was making an assumption, and you jumped in to proclaim you weren't like that ... as if anyone cared. And you never answered my question either, though you didn't mind being obstreperous.

Don't ask me to ask it again; you'll either have the diligence to continue this conversation, or not. It's upthread. I suspect rereading what's been posted might help you get around your obvious angst.

Anyone noticed the new expletives used these days?

PC culture, intellectualism .... ?

Bad things obviously. Some people use them and don't even notice they're already owned by the rightwing's NLP machine. Originally NLP was invented by the marketing industry to sell more products. These days however, it's mainly used by populous politicians and pundits.

Whenever I read something like that it falls smack into the category I despise the most. Ignorant ignorance. Some people use these words and pride themselves over their intellectual approach. For everyone working the field of marketing however they're the perfect example of vicitms, of tools to conveying the desired message.

By the way, according to latest news, Amri has been shot in Milan. He obviously returned to Italy from where he originally came from after being released from prison there. He also did time in his native Tunesia. The real question is why the German authorities let him stay with that kind of rap sheet. And no, he wasn't a refugee or even pretended to be one. Just to counter any populous comments that already make the rounds.

Some really good fucking news. The suspect is shot dead





No the BBC didn't just assume he was a Muslim.  They were reporting based on research and evidence that he had links to German Jihadi groups, terrorist preachers and so on.

You really are dense. I didn't say the BBC made assumptions, and I didn't say you made assumptions.

Bro, do you even English?

What a fucking dolt.

You said the thought that he's a Muslim is an assumption which it wasn't at the time and isn't now.

Yes, I already know you don't understand what I wrote. There's no need for you to reiterate your incomprehension.

Hopefully you improve your reading comprehension before our next conversation.

Apart from the fact that I posted the news hours ago, I was waiting for the densest person to cheer over it. Congratulations.

Personally I would have preferred him to be apprehended and questioned. But the advantages of trying to learn who's lurking in the shadows seems to be beyond you.

Yeh i don't get it.

You responded to me saying the thought that he's a Muslim is an assumption, but you weren't talking about my thought, or the thought of the BBC source, you were just talking about this abstract thought that someone somewhere was having?

so I'm not making the assumption he's a Muslim, neither is the BBC, who was it who was having the thought that was an assumption?

Who whistled for you to come out of your kennel?

I'm happy he was shot dead because he tried to shoot at the police and I'm happy no more innocent people were killed.

Which makes you, well ... dense.

I'm not shedding a tear either, but I'd rather had him spill the beans first.

Yeah, and same to you buddy. I didn't blow the whistle for you to come out either.

Also I'm on my phone at the moment but I'll be able to copy and paste over where in this thread you were talking about my assumptions speak a lot about my and how my assumptions mark me.
And now all of a sudden you never said I made assumptions or the BBC made assumptions.

And this is why brexit and Donald trump happened.
Because if you're in a convo and you say a terrorist is a Muslim because he's demonstrably Muslim you get told you're making assumptions and called a fucking dolt and stupid by smug people who aren't as clever as they think they are.
