Yes, an argument made based upon a personal attack is an ad hom, especially when either provably false or otherwise when completely unverifiable.

After the weekend Scotland has just had with #StormÉowyn, this magnificent window from St Columba's Church in Largs, showing Christ calming the storm, seems very appropriate for #StainedGlassSunday! It was created by the firm of Winton Ltd for the church opening in 1892. (1/2)

Stained glass window showing the figure of Jesus Christ in a bright red robe standing in the centre of group of oarsmen in a small fishing boat on a stormy sea. The sailors look scared, one of them is removing the sail. Christ has his hands aloft, praying for the high waves around the boat to be calmed.

In government circles, it’s hard to know who is really fighting for efficiency, because if you don’t spent your allotted budget, it gets reduced next year. This means the incentive is not to spend less but more every single year if possible.

Maybe so. I think it’s the genocide that makes the difference. The hand waving, and the high stepping to me doesn’t matter. I don’t like the Holocaust, or the Holodomor, or the Armenian genocide or the countless other genocides. The union of the corporation with the state I also dislike.

As far as I know, Hitler copied traditions from many other countries, but only Nazis got the stigma because they threw out the international bankers.

So it’s not a salute? All those kids are waiting to shake hands with the flag?
