2) Yes, that's the quote I'm talking about. He was implying that he was homeless. And there is evidence to prove that they were, all of their illegal activies they used to do, or even still do. 1) I'm not. Nowhere in the document does it say if it applies only to Skyrim, or only to Solstheim, or to both. Like Jimeee said in my thread, the book we get in Skyrim is a very vague excerpt of the Decree of Monument that doesn't specify where it applies to. But you're stating it does say it applies to Skyrim. Which it doesn't.

2) If I say "living in my apartment is better than being homeless", does that mean I was once homeless? No. It means that I believe that my apartment is better than living on the streets. Nor am I "implying it". I'm stating a fact.

And even if you're right, how would Stands-in-Shallows saying he was once homeless mean that all Argonians in Windhelm were once homeless?

You said, in essence, "Shallows says that the Argonians in Windhelm were once homeless and Ulfric gave them shelter" when he's not saying that. He says "It's better being in the Assemblage than being homeless." Two entirely different things.
