    re: some facts

    Whispers said ...

    It is important to note that people like nabalzbbfr usually speak only in metaphors. "There's a cancer growing in the mideast!" "If Vietnam falls, the rest of Southeast Asia will fall like dominos!" This reliance on metaphorical speaking is a sign that the person in question doesn't really know a lot of facts, and needs to resort to fantastical explanations for their thinking. The truth is that the threats exist more in the minds of the person in question than in reality.

    I wanted to say the same thing, but you beat me to it. And you said it better than I could have! Thanks. These fools act as if real, fact-based analysis is a sign of weakness.
