This coming from you who just claimed that late 18th century events took place in the 17th century.

I see you are making a meal of this...the quote is from the article not me...

Quite used to it by now. A certain individual (who shall not be named) squealed to the mods that I was getting personal but he has no problem doing exactly the same to me...

You wrote it as if it were you saying it rather than being a quote. And apparently you did not notice the flub. When there is a flub in the process of making a bfd over a flub, it is always going to stick out like a sore thumb.

Commenting on what someone said (or appeared to say since they did not write it in the form of a quote) has nothing to do with making personal remarks about someone. If I said something like "just like a typical Australian" that would be making it personal ie ad hominem.

Just like when you and goldfish21 were tag teaming making remarks about me along the lines of "typical teenager" "this is how adolescents behave" or words to that effect.

I remember you got into a protracted argument with a mod regarding this concept, because you do not seem to or act like you do not understand how it works.

I haven't followed this story but the whole thing sounds like fake news to me. It's well known that the British controlled no Colonial airports during the Revolution — not a single one in any of the 57 states.

Making a mountain out of a proverbial molehill to avoid addressing the central issue...I forgot to add quotes...big deal..meanwhile your president gets an F for American history and people will begin to wonder about his sanity

So what do you have to say about Obama thinking there are 57 states, not including Alaska and Hawaii, when there are actually only a total of 50? Do you hold the same type of judgement against him?

Does the author of the article you posted get an F in American history for writing 17th century instead of 18th century?

Do you get an F for repeating it?

Or it could simply be that people make mistakes and there is nothing more to it.

This thread started out as making a mountain out of a molehill.

You are the one who dragged up ancient history: "A certain individual (who shall not be named) squealed to the mods that I was getting personal but he has no problem doing exactly the same to me..."

Were you actually perplexed by my reply after you had just brought it up? Seriously?

Proof of George Washington's role in the founding of the Air Force! (And don't say it was photoshopped, because photoshop had not yet been invented at that time!)

Well...it worked! You never hear about the Redcoats ever using any of our airports, do you?

I'm not sure what's worse , Trumps gaffe or the article having to explain why it's a gaffe :roll:

Quote:

There were, of course, no airports in the 1770s, not to mention aeroplanes, which were not invented until the 1900s.

It's kind of disturbing that you aren't familiar with your own British history. Military aeroplanes are well documented from earliest times, even if the fake-news media is unaware of it.
