You don't impress me with your use of the English language. WTF does normative mean?

I would respect your post if you would point out the faulty logic of my post. And also speak for yourself don't involve anyone. Have the courage of your convictions.

George, normative is the opposite of critical. Unfortunately, most everyone sees critical as necessarily negative. If I were "Bill's" boss, and I told Bill that he did a good or bad job, that would be a normative statement. If I told him that he mounted the tire backwards, or as I asked him to mount the tire, or as it is supposed to be mounted, those would be critical statements.

Saying young George Washington chopped down the cherry tree is a critical statement. Saying George is a bad boy is a normative statement.

And, to be sure, I agree, I had a mouse in my pocket when I wrote "we" or "us", or whatever it was. It's not something I normally do; my bad.

Also, you may have noticed that most people here offer quotes when they call someone else's attention to something that they or someone else has said. Beyond general courtesy, there is a good reason for that. Allow me to make a normative observation when I point out that you should do the same. A critical observation is that you are not obligated to do so.

LOL! Do you know how much longer after the shooting that people ran up the knoll?  Here is the Hughes film from the Sixth Floor museum, people started to run up the knoll after the press bus passes. http://emuseum.jfk.org/view/objects/asitem/search@/5/title-asc?t:state:flow=9082c688-0eac-4bf3-8199-7aa8a5efbaeb

What is wrong with you?  Don't you like to debate issues based on evidence?

Running for cover? That really boils my oil. All those people stepped-up with amazing courage and ran to see what they could do or find, women and elderly folks included. Yet, you label them as people fleeing from danger...

All of those people were running INTO danger!

Keyvan, what you are basing your "debate" on is an absurdly ridiculous video, not evidence. You maintain that Zapruder's camera was catching reflections of a County Records Building shooter through the entire length of the film, even when that camera was pointed AWAY from the CRB. We are all aware of the rush of witnesses to the hill, when it happened, and why it happened; yet you insist on maintaining the absurd premise from the video that David properly labeled as "junk".

The person who posted that video has the comments disabled for a good reason; his assertions are indefensible. He was smart to disable the comments, but you decide to carry that rubbish into this forum for debate?
