The word "evidence" is not exclusive to the practice of jurisprudence Cannoli Send a noteboard - 23/10/2010 03:31:57 PM
I was not in any way shape or form arguing on the basis of courtroom procedure, but from the rules of logic. You were using your own opinion of how the world and universe function, and no more justified in an argument on another topic entirely than my own citing of my religion's dogmas to refute someone's political position.

You cannot justify a group's actions by citing your own personal and unproven or verified (in the text or by RJ or MAFO) theory on how things might have happened. Historical events and given facts about the series are acceptable arguments. Your own extrapolations about the details that are not given are not. This is not courtroom procedure, this is rational thinking.

And farmers are, of course, treated the same as rebel officers and usurpers and mutineers. Cannoli - 23/10/2010 03:07:10 PM 1122 Views
Re: The one known rapist was, by his own admission, committing a crime against their standards. moratcorlm - 21/10/2010 07:55:06 PM 1148 Views
And there is no indication of how far that went. Cannoli - 23/10/2010 03:12:42 PM 999 Views
"The question" as opposed to "questioning" moratcorlm - 24/10/2010 06:21:43 PM 1062 Views
And that would indicate everyone does it, if it is so commonly used, so how are the CoL worse? *NM* Cannoli - 25/10/2010 01:14:13 AM 673 Views

The utter stupidity of this statement caught my eye... fionwe1987 - 24/10/2010 08:12:58 AM 1038 Views
Your analyses and extension of concepts always brings that "utter stupidity" phrase to my mind. Cannoli - 25/10/2010 02:17:10 AM 1203 Views
Huh? ... what !! ... are you mad? Sidious - 21/10/2010 05:05:16 PM 1163 Views
Did you forget the very first PoV Darkfriend in the series? Cannoli - 23/10/2010 03:27:25 PM 1167 Views
Difference being the whitecloaks who were ordered to do it were not DFs. All the AS evil deeds darius_sedai - 23/10/2010 07:55:23 PM 1152 Views
So similar scenes in the Cairhienin civil war were all the work of Darkfriends? Cannoli - 25/10/2010 02:25:57 AM 1106 Views
Please provide an example of a DF AS committing an atrocity and not being punished by the Tower darius_sedai - 25/10/2010 03:34:46 AM 1055 Views

No. I'm pointing out you are under the delusion that AS pay for their atrocities. Mik - 28/10/2010 09:16:38 AM 1030 Views
okay, so AS never Still and execute AS for doing stuff ... have you read the series? darius_sedai - 28/10/2010 05:20:28 PM 1043 Views
That doesn't make the -unpunished- atrocities disappear, you know. Your point is lame AND moot. Mik - 28/10/2010 07:07:27 PM 1108 Views

Go look up the definition of the word atrocity darius_sedai - 25/10/2010 04:53:55 PM 1042 Views
Their implicit role in the genocide of Manetheren was probable their greatest atrocity *NM* Knightscape - 26/10/2010 03:01:01 AM 624 Views
You mean the act that got Tetsuan deposed, Stilled and sentenced to hard labor until she gave up the darius_sedai - 26/10/2010 04:19:45 AM 1315 Views
Ya, the ultimated punishment of cleaning pots and floors NOOOOOOOO!!! Knightscape - 26/10/2010 11:59:51 PM 1038 Views
Maybe you should have done that yourself: "behaviour or an action that is wicked or ruthless" Mik - 27/10/2010 11:11:30 AM 1003 Views
the fact that you can't differentiate between the extermination of an entire village darius_sedai - 27/10/2010 08:30:12 PM 1069 Views
READ; I *did* differentiate between them. It doesn't change the fact all are atrocious deeds Mik - 28/10/2010 09:00:56 AM 1121 Views
darius_sedai - 28/10/2010 05:22:18 PM 992 Views
You asked for atrocities and you got them. Now you just don't know what to do with them. Mik - 28/10/2010 06:49:16 PM 1084 Views
dude, you gave us a list of petty crimes and compared it to mass murder darius_sedai - 28/10/2010 06:59:33 PM 1039 Views
Complete the thought... fionwe1987 - 28/10/2010 07:11:37 PM 961 Views
seems I must do so for this guy to understand ... and I'm not holding my breath on that! darius_sedai - 28/10/2010 08:24:57 PM 1100 Views
Rape, murder, starting wars and doing noting about them, kidnap / severe torture of prisoners... *NM* Mik - 28/10/2010 07:51:33 PM 589 Views
again you fail to note that the AS have systems in place to prevent these things darius_sedai - 28/10/2010 08:23:32 PM 1052 Views
Again you fail to note that the AS haven't used those "systems" of theirs Mik - 28/10/2010 09:02:15 PM 1338 Views
