(62,325 posts)pronouns AND which ones, someone uses when engaged in a discussion. They are the words that demonstrate whether the debater is engaged in a discussion about the issues or has resorted to making the discussion about their opponent, never a good sign.
The more 'yous or you'res or yourselfs etc there are, the more the person is engaged in attacking their opponent rather than engaging in a discussion.
I counted four 'yous' in the first two lines if your comment.
Sorry, just an observation of something I have found to be very useful.
Wrt to my comments in the previous post, I repeat, the issue became a big issue when the NSA suddenly found an email they had previously denied having. They themselves tried to explain it.
They now admit to having more but claim they are protecting Snowden's privacy by not releasing them.
As I said and will repeat, when someone has a record of lying, over years actually, they do not get the benefit of the doubt.
Snowden has asked them to release his email file. There is now no reason on earth why they should not do so, unless it will expose them as lying.
If you want to talk about me, that's rather flattering I suppose. But this discussion isn't about me, it is about the emails the NSA has but despite the FOIA and Snowden's authorization to release them, they are refusing to do so.
They have a bad reputation, all over the globe at this point. Few believe a word they say. It would be in their own best interests to release the emails IF they do not, as they have claimed, contain what Snowden claims. The only reason they would not release them therefore, is that he is telling the truth.
I have posted and won't do so again, I really don't have the time, statements from reputable news sources stating that the NSA has claimed to not have emails from Snowden as he claimed, in fact some of them state that the NSA claimed to have NO emails from Snowden. If you want to deny what you have read with your own eyes, I cannot help you. Or maybe you just didn't bother to read them. I can't help that.
'Out to lunch'. I guess that means 'crazy' or something. Well, I've been called worse here and am not one to worry about words too much, but it's interesting. Nor do I care much what anyone else thinks, so don't waste time telling me that I am 'making yourself look foolish'. Lol, did you do a pollor something?
The NSA lied, period. They can disprove that by releasing the emails. So far they have not.
