Checkpoint ...

Good Points,,,but you left out those mean old Russians in those Penske yellow trucks that are taking all our runs and sending their hard earned wages back to the motherland...

I left out a lot of stuff ... analogies need not be all-encompassing or exhaustive to illustrate a point ...

Speaking of points ... what was yours ?

 

[RLENT]

Send it to either Wounded Warriors or American Diabetes Assn. although your point isn't proven.

I wasn't trying to prove something ... I simply offered up data for people to evaluate so that they might draw their own conclusions ...

Just because I recognize who and what he is and I hate his policies and what he does doesn't mean I hate him.

As a general premise (if this, then that) that's correct - one thing wouldn't necessarily equal the other.

But it doesn't preclude it either.

I don't hate him.

Uh-huh ...

To hate him would mean he is worth any thought or emotion. He isn't.

Really ?

That's the story you wanna go with ... that he isn't worth any thought or emotion ?

I mean 'cause, after personally writing at least some 450 posts since 6-16-2010 about him, it certainly seems like he was worth at least some of your thought and emotion ...

Unless you mean to imply your posts have no logic or reasoning behind them ...

Personally, I'd say he's living rent-free inside your head ...

FYI to anyone reading this thread: EO's search function is pretty squirrelly (broken, doesn't work right since new website) ... and will only return a maximum of 500 results ... even if there are more.

So backing out and not sending anything to Wounded Warriors or American Diabetes huh.

Hard to see how you divined that from what I wrote (sure might explain a few things tho' ... ) ... since I didn't address that at all ...

 

[LDB]

Where should I send the check ? (for helping me to make my point)

No, I see now. Making a point wasn't in your thoughts at all.

No, I see now. Making a point wasn't in your thoughts at all.

Looks like you need a comprehension upgrade:

1. Obtain a decent dictionary.

2. Look up the following words: making, a, point, and prove ...

3. Then for the piece de resistance go for the word conflation as well.

CAMERA: Film Review: Checkpoint

The last two sentences of the article are all that needs to be stated. (emphasis mine)

By failing to enlighten the viewers with an understanding of the number of lives saved by such security measures, the film misses an opportunity to increase understanding of this complex situation. Instead it simply offers more fuel for incitement against Israel.
