Poor reply. Good précis of the OP, though.

 

you are fucked in the head mate, plain & simple

 

I am so not clicking on that at work !

I get the feeling my IP address would set off the "WTF ?" alarm in Network
Services.

 

ignoring the troll (I presume it's a des sock-puppet)

this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Great-War-C...bs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1216372459&sr=8-1

is what you really need on this subject.

 

My holiday reading pile included Dreaming of Jupiter (Ted Simon) &
Stolen Time (Sunny Jacobs). Both recommended.

Robert Fisk is hardly impartial either. Seems to me that most books on the
subject will lean one way or t'other whether they mean to or not.

who is?

really?

 

Dunno, just saying that he is known for POV.

Yeah. It's complicated emotive shit, and it's hard to get to the bottom of
it. Not easy to distill into a book. I used to have an interest in the NI
conflict until I realised that to really understand it fully, I'd have to have
lived it.

in my opinion, knowing what someone's bias is is better than not,
because you can adjust your own perception if you know what the
writer's mental filter has edited out.

I did live it (between 1968[1] and 1998[2]). It was shit.

[1] born in London in 1967
[2] moved back to London in 1998.

 

You look at a Cane link and you're surprised?

I didn't dare click on a canelink.

 

If you're not too busy, check yer email. No pressure like

 

I agree 100%, but not everyone thinks like that, which is rather dangerous as
well-meaning but naive people take on biases without realising it.

That's as good a summary as I've read.

Fine. Everyone is an intelligent, well-oiled evaluating machine who thinks
for themselves and is not influenced by the media or marketing.

I don't think I called you patronising, I thought it was angry or arrogant,
but ICBW.

'Oh, the irony'.

Not intentionally, for sure. I can only assume that you are reading between
the lines of what I was saying, or maybe you're overly defensive / sensitive.

Nah, no troll (insofar as a troll 'seeks a response'; I couldn't have
given a **** if no one answered). But for Blaney to parade his
egregious ignorance and stupidity here, and to clamp his hands over his
ears and whine, 'I can't hear you!!' is too much for me to stomach. The
incredible thing is that he appears to be 'proud' that he knows ****-all.

Oh, but wait ...

'ukrm: "where it's 'cool' to be stupid!"'

I'd forgotten ...
