Your comment on one's eye-glazing over is a reality when you make a blatant lie like that.
Show me where I mentioned plantations or slavery prior to you. I only mentioned it as a direct response to your mentioning. Trying to rewrite history?
And the condescending behavior is not very helpful to let anyone really be persuaded by your remarks.
My eye-glazing comment was an attempt at ending a conversation with a little humor. You first mentioned forced slavery in conjunction with keeping states within the Union. And when I said let's hope this attempt at secession offers more freedom than the last, the plantation comparison was made, and then you said we are still slaves to the federal government. My point is those are absurd comparisons and intelligent people should reject such rhetoric. That may be condescending, though if so, done unintentionally. Nor do I make any remarks to persuade, merely to offer another viewpoint on a topic. I doubt I've ever persuaded anyone on the internet to change an opinion. With the exception of the discussion on today's version of slavery here, I've enjoyed the back and forth, not only on this, but the other Texit thread. I find the whole topic interesting. Have a good day.
