That's up to you, but now I know you *are* lying.  Here are the two
questions I asked concerning your claim that Pearl was kidnapped because
he was American AND Jewish.  I asked: "Are you sure?  How did they know
he was Jewish before they kidnapped him?"  Your response did not attempt
to answer either of those questions.  Now you are trying to duck out of
answering them at all by claiming I never asked them.  But I did ask two
simple questions; you have twice avoided answering either of them, and
now you avoid resolving the issue at all by accusing ME of intellectual
dishonesty and butting out.  Suit yourself, but the one thing none of us
can escape on this list is the requirement for intellectual honesty, so
whoever is being intellectually dishonest here, me, you, or anyone else,
you can run but you can't hide.  Unless you leave the list, of course.

Just in case your meaning is wrong, Martin is a name that comes from
Mars, the Roman or Greek God of war?  I think it means warrior or
something.  I don't think it is particularly apt in my case.  I was
named after my great great grandfather, Martinus Jacobsen, a tailor from
Aalesund on the central west coast of Norway.

You haven't said what Issodhos means yet either.  Does it have a
meaning?
