Re: For the record I find this Roman QUOTE debate END QUOTE to be an exercise in ignoranc
So your rants actually are off topic. Thanks for clarifying.
The topic is (thread starter) Jar's desire to find constitutional authority for as much immigration as possible. Very comparable to the mistakes made in the Roman Empire.

Do you really believe there is some sort if conspiracy? All I want you to do is actually present an argument, not just assertions and a gish gallop of reasons apologists think caused the demise of the Roman Empire.
When I requested that all I received were lies an personal attacks.
From your Message 108;
ABE
Look up lead poisoning in Rome while your at it.
Then, from my Message 141;
quote:
Since they were constantly consuming lead in wine and in other forms many Romans were dying. The excessive drinking made them all exposed to lead in their bodies, ultimately killing and poisoning them.
The top 10 reasons for the fall of Rome by kelly murray
Wine? Excessive drinking? Maybe the problem was more with drunkenness than it was with lead in water. Does the U.S. today have a bigger and bigger appetite for drinking, and more importantly, illegal drugs resulting in overdoses?
This is one small part of the substance I presented, and this part was in a direct response to your suggestion. You can't address it at all? You don't have sources that prove that the lead poisoning was ONLY a result of polluted drinking water, and NOT the result of excessive alcohol consumption, possibly from careless methods of brewing their drinks?

Re: This will be my last post in this thread on the ROMAN EMPIRE.
I will start a thread that fully and decisively makes my case. sometime.
[huge snip]
I'll make a better case in a new thread. it will be a lot longer. And have lot of quotes and sources showing the incredible Gothic presence in the Western Empire plus have quotes showing the Arian issu to be important.
I'll look forward to that, but I'll be more likely to participate if you briefly describe, in your own words, just what your point is. And if you take exception to any of my Message 139. Feel free to quote me from that message in the new thread.
