there are no accusations of any kind.

and, to be more clear, nobody said anything about abducting.

Factually:

The USA does forcefully remove babies from the arms of their mothers.

Furthermore: The US Government does "lose"  000 these children.

This is not accusations. And, mentioning the facts, as they are,
undisputed, does not cross any line.

And who are 'political opponents' ? 

Please do bother actually reading the argument? or ask if you did not
understand it?

Simply stating that, in your opinion, there are accusations and
abductions are pathetic in itself as it completely ignores or
addresses the salient fact that Ronald said my opinion is 'rubbish'
and that my opinion is equal to what "Fox" blasts out and "Fox" (by
implication, Republicans, in America states.

It is my choice to find that offensive as by implication my opinion
equates that which the USA (and Fox) is promoting.

As it disgusts me, it is an insult and it is offensive.

Please stop what? Speaking the truth?

Taking offense at people equating my opinions to rubbish?

Please be more clear in what you are stating Malcolm? What would you
like to stop?
