WAKE UP, POOR WEST!

Truth indeed.

I don't see a" truth" being asserted here, especially if what is being claimed is that the West is in decline and does not make the particular (but unspecified and unreferenced)  advanceS it supposedly made in the past because its people pursue sexual pleasure.

Will you please tell me what the "truth" is that you see that this submission speaks about?

Cue the claim that I have fiercely attacked you in asking you this question.

Very dear O-H,
Thank you very much for your comment. It means a lot to me.

"Look at yourself when you possessed
the faith that achieved past success."

What "faith" was that?

"men and women have their sex
through what will make them both extinct"

And what is it through which people engaged in making love will be made extinct?

"Where is that impetus to strive
and do something that can construct
the needed power you possessed
while now you look for selfish aims."

Is it really true that the reason the West was able to make the "advances" that you claim (without evidence) it no longer makes is because its aims were selfless?

Dear Baldwin,
You know better than l do. You are closer to their mentality if you really are a Westerner.

So you really don't know.  Thanks for confirming -- with another ad hominem -- what I thought was the case.

I asked you about your nationality, but you preferred to keep it a secret. How can l know about it? Please tell me.

You didn't ask anything.  What you wrote was a statement.  
 
More importantly, I asked you a yes or no question -- which, not unexpectedly,  you dodged.  
 
Let's be clear. The issue at hand is NOT my nationality but whether you really know what you are talking about when you make a  claim, as you did, about what the nature of the aims that the  West had in the past was.    
    
How your knowing what my nationality is has a bearing on whether your claim about what stood behind something that happened in history is true is beyond me.    
  
Your claim is either true or false regardless of where I'm from.    
   
And so I ask again:     Is it really true that the reason the West was able to make the "advances" that you claim (without evidence) it no longer makes is because its aims were selfless? Or are you lying?
   
   
 

Dear Baldwin,
It is very important to me and to anyone else to know the person he is corresponding with. I asked you about your nationality, and your education several times, but you have kept them as military secrets whereas you know everything about me. I don't like this secrecy, especially if it is on purpose. It doesn't create confidence between me and the person l am corresponding with.

Another dodge of my question.  Besides that, the issue is the validity of your claim. It is either true or it is not. On this issue, who I am and where I'm from is irrelevant.  How would knowing that help to determine whether you have spoken the truth?
 
Funny how you never ask what the nationality is of those who flatter you.

"It is very important to me and to anyone else to know the person he is corresponding with. "

No, it's not in any way important since knowing who it is who writes about whether your submissions are written well does not in any way determine whether what he/she says in this regard is valid.
