According to the debate, they had their reasons. But still – when one hundred and eighty six nations say one thing, and two say another, you have to wonder about the two.

      Colonists donating money made from stolen property be like:

            Technically it can be. Propaganda isn’t propaganda because it’s false, but because it’s one-sided and selective.

              In my defence (and okay, it’s a very limited and crappy defence) my post said “According to the debate, they had their reasons. But still – when one hundred and eighty six nations say one thing, and two say another, you have to wonder about the two.”

              So I sort of presented a balanced argument. Not a very balanced one, but I did present an attempt at putting America and Israel’s side, even if it was a half-arsed one.

                I don’t think what you said was propaganda, I’m just being pedantic.

          You do know that people can dislike the decisions America makes and be vocal about that, without it being propaganda right?

          Wow, a critical comment that adds nothing of value to the conversation, attacking the commenter instead of the comment. Even more shocking!

      If an abusive husband refuses to let his wife have a bank account, should we celebrate his generosity for all the spending money he “gives” her?
