>You like to argue, but no one seems to agree with you.

I'm not offended

I do like to argue. A better way to put it, is I like to talk to people and convince people on a viewpoint I truly believe in while at the same time I'm open to learning as well.

Whether someone agrees with me or not doesn't correlate with whether I'm right. That is the point. And I am right and you are wrong.

You view international politics from the microcosm of US news. The entire population of Asia which outnumbers the US population by a huge number has a more nuanced and complicated view of the situation.

Dismissing China as evil or putin as crazy is an oversimplification.

Think bigger.

The fact that you asked such a silly question about dictators and than refuse to learn from any of the multiple answers shows that you are not open to honest or intellectual debate. You care more about being "right" which is why you deleted your original comment and have been stuck replying to people for almost a day while the rest of us have moved on.

I think you're wrong, I think you're angry, I think you're arguing in bad faith, and I believe multiple people/instances have been provided and you have yet to prove anything other than insolence when it comes to being "right".

Honestly, I don't even think you know what you're arguing anymore because you're all over the place. I never called China evil or Putin crazy so why are you putting words in my mouth that I never claimed? The original question is what makes dictators more irrational. If you can't understand the many answers you recieved, that is your problem, not mine. I'm going to bid you a farewell, have a wonderful day.

I didn't delete any comment. This is a lie. If you want to engage in conversation with me do it on good faith. Do not LIE.

>The fact that you asked such a silly question about dictators and than refuse to learn from any of the multiple answers shows that you are not open to honest or intellectual debate

Your post was flagged. And died. This happens when multiple people disagree and are offended by your post. I still chose to engage with you even though your post had offensive intent.

Additionally the amount of karma on my original post is 5. So 5+ more people agree with me. I'm assuming everyone who disagrees with me down voted.

If anything you're the one no one is siding with.

>I never called China evil or Putin crazy so why are you putting words in my mouth that I never claimed?

You never made the claim but your attitude made it seem like this was what you think. If I'm wrong then I take it back. Logically speaking though, you believe dictators are irrational. Which is equivalent to crazy. So essentially you think Russia and China are crazy because both countries are basically dictatorships. That is a logical deduction from what you implied.

So my statement still stands. China and Russia are examples of dictatorships that are much more complicated then the singular label of irrational. That's all.

> I'm going to bid you a farewell, have a wonderful day.

Why. You obviously don't like me. What's the purpose of wishing me a wonderful day after such accusations? Also what's the purpose of disengaging in the conversation? You said something with offensive intent, I'm still here. What's making you leave? Are you emotional?
