Very big difference. I believe you’d call it a straw man, or some such twaddle if someone else had deliberately and in full knowledge that they were lying and twisting words had come out with it.
The EU was brought about after the end of WWII, after people in the UK and other countries worked together to defeat an evil right wing regime who felt that one race, one group of people should be the only ones allowed to rule, and that anyone who wasn’t of that race was inferior.
...but you can deny that if it fits the DW belief system better.Originally posted by vetran View PostYMMV but suggesting the EU is responsible for Europe wide peace is raising a Bulltulip Man and anyone who tries to raise it has less IQ than AssGuru's hamster after the lobotomy.
I did not say the EU "caused" peace in Europe. You put that post up.
I pointed out the difference between "caused" and "the result of the desire to maintain".
You now change "caused" to "responsible for". Again, not what I said, but you and the other Wailers will ignore the truth, instead wanting to force feed the rest of us with your zealotry.
Either you are insane, inept or a liar. You certainly post like you hate the truth.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

A quick potted history of the last two hundred years of European history:
19th century: The French tried to take over Europe, and the British teamed up with the Germans in giving the French a good slapping.
20th century: The Germans tried to take over Europe (twice), and the British teamed up with the French in giving the Germans a good slapping (twice).
After this, the French and the Germans decided neither could do it on their own, so they decided to team up and give the British a good slapping. Hence the EU was born.*

I will add the rest of the post as you seem to have got confused again, I wish you & spooter would remember that if it has taps its not a toilet!
Originally posted by AtW View PostThe main promise was lack of another major war in European theatreOriginally posted by vetran View Postah the EU caused peace in Europe fantasy.
Strange most sensible people believe nuclear weapons stopped that. Even Trump & Putin are nice to people with them.
Luckily the EU has sat by while we have Genocide in the Balkans and they like to support beating of voters.
However the EU tulips itself when Vlad the invader farts.Originally posted by WTFH View PostHey, Old Bean, did you get an F in English Comprehension in your CSEs?
I did not say the EU "caused" peace in Europe. You put that post up. - No AtW did which is why I quoted him in my post, you misread it and assumed it was directed at you = 0 points.
I pointed out the difference between "caused" and "the result of the desire to maintain". - you posted some drivel having misunderstood the first post , I pointed out the EU's desire wasn't particularly strong as they have failed to intervene in any European conflict = 0 points
You now change "caused" to "responsible for". Again, not what I said, but you and the other Wailers will ignore the truth, instead wanting to force feed the rest of us with your zealotry. - I'm not the one who against all facts continues to suggest the EU had any significant part in preserving world peace. = 0 points
Either you are insane, inept or a liar. You certainly post like you hate the truth. - which is why I quote references and you insult people one of us likes to do research the other to post bile = 0 pointsAlways forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

"The EU caused peace in Europe"
Here's what he didn't say:
"The EU is responsible for Europe wide peace"
So, why do you claim he said those things?…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Originally posted by vetran View Postso they are intertwined, the EU made a promise that peace would happen. The average EU supporter believes the EU made peace in Europe happen and that they were responsible for it.
Having a desire for peace is not the same as claiming to have caused peace.
