I posted an article that is it. I even wrote the word perhaps to try to appease you and stop you from going on one of your rants.

Its a I'm sick of you being an asshole so I tried to leave it open ended so I didn't have to get in some long argument with you where you talk down to me but it is clear you have very little understanding about whats going on, for example not understanding what I meant with current FARC compared to old FARC. I mean posted just an article and you attacked me, P6 was right you are relentless.

Chances of you actually knowing anything about Honduras in my book is about 0%, chances of you making assumptions that the right is some how conspiring to get people who claim they are left, regardless of their actual politics about 100%. So it is really uninformative because you have no credibility, you just believe what you believe and anything that you read that is against it is right wing propaganda. You will even ignore parts of articles and believe other parts.

Sometimes I find it amusing but right now I don't have the time or interest to get into it.

Does that answer your question well enough?

I posted a story I found interesting. I didn't post a long summary for two reasons.

Reason 1. I thought you would attack me for the summary as if the summary was my position and not a summary. The reason I believe is this, is you do it all the time. The proof is this conversation now where you are attacking based on your assumptions of me and my thoughts on the story. You treat your assumptions like fact and probably don't even understand that they are not fact.

Reason 2. It is not a rule of this thread to do so.

So if you wouldn't mind please stop attacking me over your assumptions, I can assure you that they are not accurate. Because if you end up getting banned for continuing to harass me it is going to be very hard to play the "poor me victim" card like you always do when I'm not playing along. Those who have not seen through it yet will almost have too. I'd rather you didn't get banned, and more than that I hate getting pulled into your drama, even when I'm not involved.

Dude you are literally arguing with yourself. I purposely have not said an opinion on the article. So there is no way you can know my opinion on it, yet you are arguing with it. Which means you are arguing with your own assumptions and insulting me about it. Do you not see how crazy and rude that is? You are insulting me and mad at me for something YOU THINK I think, not something I do think, or something I said. ASSUMPTIONS ARE NOT FACTS, stop treating them like it.

You seem to not understand that a summary is a summary. It is not a interrogation of it or a endorsement of it. Some could say that they agree with an article, some could say that they didnt and why, other times you can just post it a nd summarize it. This is one of those times when I did that, and it is ok that I did.

And yes you did insult me by assuming what you did and continue too. And yes I was mean back. The difference is I am aware I was to you, are you really not aware you attacked me?

At this point I genuinely cant tell if you are desperately trying to bait me into sharing my opinion on the article bso you can argue it no matter what it is, or if you honestly dont understand that I have on purpose not given you a opinion because of how you respond and continue to respond to me over and over and seek me out.

Either way it is quite sad and I would appreciate it if you stopped.

Perhaps more corruption is being punished in South America

Brazil’s Economy Minister reignited President Jair Bolsonaro’s spat with his French counterpart after he repeated the Brazilian leader’s insults about Emmanuel Macron’s wife.

In a speech to businessmen in the northeastern city of Fortaleza, Paulo Guedes complained about the media coverage of the Bolsonaro administration, saying that rather than report on the country’s progress, it focused on the president’s outrageous comments.

“What I see in the newspapers is that he insulted [Michelle] Bachelet, or that he called Macron’s wife ugly,” he said. “He did say that and it’s true -- the woman is indeed ugly.”

Ivanka Trump Visits Troubled Argentina, Bringing Cash for Roads

The U.S. government approved $400 million in financing for Argentina’s road network during a visit by Ivanka Trump, the U.S. President’s daughter and adviser, to the Latin American country that’s struggling with a financial crisis on the eve of presidential elections.

The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), an agency of the U.S. government tasked with helping American businesses...will bankroll around 430 miles of roads in the provinces of Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, Cordoba and Mendoza, according to a statement from Argentina’s Transport Ministry.

The announcement comes less than eight weeks away from an election which President Mauricio Macri, a personal friend of U.S. President Donald Trump, looks set to lose to leftist opposition candidate Alberto Fernandez.
