I didn't say that, I basically said I'm not interested in looking into it because it requires too much expertise for which the vast majority and myself don't possess, to have a considered opinion on it. There are more than enough people saying otherwise to not just presume it was as the narrative is. I don't automatically agree with everything and believe everything the BBC or CNN says because I possess my own thinking capacity. Like Wally, you've resorted to trying to demean me because I haven't automatically agreed with your stance on Snowden/Russia. Like I said, my whole interest here is to see other people's opinions and where they may present arguments for or against one thing or the other, it will mould my opinion, particularly if it prompts me to research something I haven't previously. So, one of your "arguments" seem to be that I have admitted to not knowing some things, well it appears you know everything there is to know in that case - yet only once or twice have you even begun to present some information instead of repeating your opinion and attacking posters. I presume Wally called me 'kid' because I am willing to admit to not knowing everything. I expect he'd have no issue with me calling him a kid when he can't even begin to debate an area of my expertise, or when he simply doesn't agree with my opinion on something I imply I know about without providing any evidence I know of any information on the subject.
The actual purpose of the thread was just to share the documentary and to discuss the implications of the revelations if anyone was interested, though I'm interested in finding out more about Russia/Putin if people are actually discussing information, especially since it is part of the wider context of the thread subject.
