Hey, Carol, I'm sure George of Arabia has great 'people skills' that make up for his low IQ. He's so skillful he can put thousands of them out of work in one year! He doesn't feel too guilty, 'cos he has trouble counting such high numbers. Being stupid has advantages, doncha think??

| Steve, if having a high IQ guaranteed people to get into office, you should be the Prime Minister of England! |

Sorry for touching off the nonsense. You guys shouldn't have to be involved in it

no Jill. You did and said nothing wrong, and certainly didn't cross any personal boundaries. Its right that you spoke up and I see nothing in what you said that you need to apologize for.
You can't stop speaking up just because its going to ruffle feathers. At least this way someone might notice the fox is in the henhouse (like my song says) before its too late.
and that
once again
is my opinion. |

That's right, Jill. It's your democratic right to criticize your culture, and your leaders, even if you have to do it in words of two syllables or less so that they can understand what you're carping about.
Britain isn't so great, and Blair is an idiot. My country has been run by a bunch of upper class twits and self-serving bourgeois scoundrels for centuries. Evangelical religion and nationalism fell out out of favour here only after the horrors of WWI, when hundreds of thousands of us were gassed and blown to smithereens fighting for 'god, king and country'. American people have never experienced anything like that, even in the Civil War and WWII, and for their sakes I hope it doesn't take anything as horrific as that for them to become a bit more circumspect about the religious and nationalist fervour that's driving a large number of them at the moment. |

Kirk, nah. I can't get at it, it disappeared when I went back to the site.
Who is that, anyway, Rush Limbaugh and Anne Coulter having a dirty weekend in the country? |

I cant believe people anywhere listen to someone who makes statements like the following one by Anne Coulter
My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building.
Ann Coulter
How can anyone worry about terrorists while some people support thinking like this??

She went into the service when she was 19 years old to be around as many men as possible ... However, she has yet to have found any takers. |

Carol, if you had an IQ maybe you could find employment in the U.S.A. Duct tape, a paper bag and sobriety wouldn't hurt either... :stupid
I have somethings I would like to add to this banter but choose not to have to endure reading anymore reponses from that blathering *bleeping* old blowhole.

As I said before ...........no one speaks for me . but me ......... and I dont agree with ANYONE name calling I dont think it adds anything to any issues ....
So how is anyone name calling and using ad hominem attacks make anything or anyone better or worse than anyone else .... and expecting carte blanche freedom from opposing ideas and responses or dismissing them as nonsense without addressing the issues is just as bad. People in this forum exchanged ideas on many different places long before anyone was able to categorise it as "european " and I really dislike that kind of polarisation as well.
I disliked it when it happened at mp3com and the name calling was rampant and people were calling"americans" and or "non-americans " out as being prejudiced or thinking in a certain way because of where they were from .
What I see are people from all over the planet sharing their thoughts as individuals , and concluding that because someone is from any certain place they think a certain way or dont think another way is an error in judgement that causes some of the very problems we are trying to solve .
and how do we reach people or even communicate on a level that shows respect for one anothers opinions by so doing ???
We need to exchange ideas and attempt to reach people not with sarcasm and name calling and categorising and dismissive snobbery , but with compassion , understanding and respect for the individual , and the ideas they express , unbiased by where they live or where they are from .... there is enough of that in the states too !
