It doesn't take more than the most basic comprehension skills to understand it.

If you really are struggling to understand simple sentences, I'd suggest you get someone with time and patience to sit and explain it to you. Or you could explain to me what's confusing you and I'll attempt to write it in an even more basic way

At the very least, you could apologise for deliberately claiming I don't support the Democrats... Violet_Crumble Oct 2012 #62
Well Obama and the Democratic Party King_David Oct 2012 #67
That's got nothing to do with the dishonest claim that I don't support the Democrats... Violet_Crumble Oct 2012 #69
I didn't claim anything. I asked you a question. shira Oct 2012 #98

To be honest I found this post very muddled and difficult to understand King_David Oct 2012 #85
It was a very simple question. Do you oppose boycotting the settlements? Violet_Crumble Oct 2012 #89
Newsflash , LGBT rights ,Gay Rights etc King_David Oct 2012 #76
Newsflash. There's many issues that are just as important Violet_Crumble Oct 2012 #77
Yep as i predicted ,that's the view I have King_David Oct 2012 #82
I doubt a belief that all human rights are important is unique to Australian LWers Violet_Crumble Oct 2012 #84
Thank you for your revealing reply.nt King_David Oct 2012 #86
No worries. I hope it does reveal that many of us support human rights for all minority groups... Violet_Crumble Oct 2012 #88

I don't know what 'debate' you think yr having... Violet_Crumble Oct 2012 #87

You posted a post of mine out of context,but thanks, I am proud to say I do not give a fuck... King_David Nov 2012 #100

" I'd prefer to stay out of that sort of stuff" King_David Oct 2012 #94
Always have, and I don't like being dragged into it... Violet_Crumble Oct 2012 #95
My views are identical to the Obama administration's and King_David Nov 2012 #101
I asked you whether you opposed boycotting the settlements Violet_Crumble Nov 2012 #104
It's disruptive to say I share the same views as Obama King_David Nov 2012 #109
Obama would be called a "hasbarist" and a "Zionist stooge" by some here oberliner Nov 2012 #111
It's all part of the game oberliner Oct 2012 #97
I'll ask you again obie. Have I done something to piss you off? Violet_Crumble Nov 2012 #103
