Well, I do not think this is funny at all. Who said it was funny? Link please.
How such a simple question can render grown men speechless.
It was a silly question, so I'm not sure why you don't realize it.
The topic was whether the yellowcake that was found was the cause for the United States invading Iraq. The answer to that was "no," as we have discussed. Additionally, the question was whether the mainstream media were hiding something. The answer to that was also "no," as we discussed.
You then asked a question, whether you (whoever was reading, I suppose) would return the stuff to Iraq.
You were going for a zinger, right? We say, "of course not," and you then say, "A-ha! So we were right to take the stuff out! And we were right to invade! And whatever it was that the OP was saying!"
Your silly question was also leading: "If it is not such a big deal..." Who said it wasn't a big deal? Perhaps the only way you can defend your position (whatever the heck that is) is by misrepresenting the opposition.
Your question indicates an apparent inability to follow the conversation. No, this wasn't the stuff that was an excuse for war. No, we probably wouldn't return it. Therefore...what's your point?
Your silly question has already been answered, by Gutenberg. At this point, I do not see you addressing the answer, challenging the answer, or doing anything besides pretending it wasn't posted.
I cannot address you, the person. I don't know you, the person. I can only address the words that you post under your forum handle. To me, these words indicate that you are not interested in a conversation, debate, or polite argument. But you seem to like hypothetical zingers that begin with "Would you...?" Then again, you don't respond to those, either. To me, this looks like trolling. I can't say whether that's what you, the person, are interested in. However, verbal hand grenades without follow-up...that looks like trolling.
