lil, what you are doing here in incredibly weak. If you don't want your personal life being on the board, and you don't want to discuss these "two wars" you've experienced first hand, then you shouldn't have brought them up to begin with in the vague and questionable way you did.
Saying "I lived through two wars", and then whens someone asks what wars those were you say "It's my private life and if you don't know wha twar it is then you are automatically ignorant and not worth talking to because you don't read shit about europe all the time, therefor, you get all of your information from Bush". Not only is this doging the question, but it's rude, and makes you look very shallow in the topic, and looks like you have no proof to back up your claim to give it any validity.
Since you always run around trying to educate everyone on "how to argue" (since you seem to think of yourself as some sort of authority figure in arguing, despite the fact that you yourself fall into all sorts of falacies) then you need to figure out a way to comprehend a few simple facts about arguing.
1. Always be prepared to provide proof of a claim. If you can't or don't want to, then DO NOT bring it up. Which is exactly what you did. This only weakens your argument.
2. Insulting people as you are while avoiding the topic to try to lower their credibility is extremely weak. Makes you look like you have nothing relevent to say. This whole "You don't know what I know so you're ignorant and get your information from Bush, duh" is blatantly silly and has no merrit, nor is it a sound argument in any way. Why do they get their information from Bush? Because it's different from yours? Because you don't want to discuss a vague reference you brought up? Doesn't make sense, and hurts your arguments greatly.
So, if you are going to make a claim, for the love of shit, be prepared to back it up, if you aren't, then do not make the claim and expect anyone to take it seriously. And don't act as though you're immensely better then other people because you know your own countries history better then they do. This whole thread you've been acting like you have a stick up your ass and have been rude (but not in a funny way, more like in a "yawn" way) to everyone who wants proof of a claim.
I expect more from you lil, not just simple "YOU"RE IGNORANT BECAUSE YOU DON"T KNOW WHAT I"M TALKING ABOUT BUT I DON"T WANT TO BACK UP MY STATEMENTS IN ANY WAY". You can do better then that. I know it.

Which two major wars have been in a ****ing Europe in the past 19 years?! Bosnian war and Kosovo war. You should have known that from just watching the news - or were you absent minded while this was happening?
Should a good educated person have known that? Yeah, i would think so. This thread had nothing to do with ME, people made it so to dodge a point or prove me wrong?!? Whatever... Why the hell would i make something like living through a war up?
I gave plenty hints for people to figure it out! Did it ever occur to you i dont want to give details? Did it? In case it hasnt - here it is - i dont want to give details.
Well as I said then, you shouldn't have brought it up in the first place.
However, I never did intend to give the impression that I thought you were making the wars up. Just not everyone will remember those wars just off the top of their head.
No one wants to decipher a bunch of "hints" to figure out what someone is talking about when it would be easy to just say "it was this and this war". Saying that wouldn't have given ANY details away about you or your experiences, it would have simply made it easier on everyone, including yourself.
