Plumping an opinion poll as support for your claim makes me wonder how much, or rather, how little support for it you really have.
This wasn't an "opinion poll" - it was a survey across 65 different countries.
I'm sorry, would you spell out the difference between an opinion poll and a survey?
And more to the point, would you explain why popular opinion is a meaningful metric for this discussion?
I am asking you to back up your claim that "The biggest terrorist state in the world today is the USA, and second biggest is Israel." I asked you for numbers. I didn't ask you for opinion polls. Present terror actions perpetrated listed by state, so that we can judge for ourselves the veracity of your statement.
Quit shilly-shallying. You only make yourself look ever more the dipshit, and that's a hole you don't want to dig into any more than you already have, pal.
So: meaningful numbers. Terrorist attacks, by country for the last few years. Get to work; chop, chop.
Or, you could do the intellectually honest thing and admit that you were talking out of your ass.
I am not holding my breath for that last bit, to be honest. It seems to be beyond your ken.
