Sniveling sissies, I call em. :wink:Well, that is doubtless advice that can go both ways - I have doubtless become over-sensitized to signs of American arrogance, because of the very seemingly omni-present attitudes of a few around here - especially of late....
Deb, you really need to get over the "you can only disagree with me out of ignorance" BS like you displayed here:I am also pointing ouit that your country has a big tracj reccord in attempting to affect other countries elections (actually, I only mentioned Oz's recent one - I could mention Chile, Egypt, Nicaragua and so on).
This is why I consider yours and Fishin's and Bills attitude lacks knowledge.
Why the hell are you guys ganging up on Graffiti? Don't listen to them girl. Those 3 are notorious for plotting scaling attacks on newcomers by P.M. They're also communists.
Seriously, though, DLowan explained my comment perfectly with this:

I don't know what came first, the chicken or the egg, but I'm sick and tired of the non-stop America-Bashing free-for-all that frequently takes place here. So, I amuse myself by tossing out little jabs here and there for the hyper-sensitive to choke on.Well, that is doubtless advice that can go both ways - I have doubtless become over-sensitized to signs of American arrogance, because of the very seemingly omni-present attitudes of a few around here - especially of late....

If you really want to charge someone with ignorance, why look any further than the author of this thread's statements about our founding father spinning in their graves over some alterations in legislation that didn't exist when they did?
The world's opinion on who we elect President remains irrelevant and will until such a day comes as liberal I'm-an-intellectual-because-I-blame-America-first-too types rule the country (that slam is for the wannabe's, not you fine people). Since that day won't come, we can look forward to Deb and Blatham continuing to soak their hankies with the unfairness of it all. Frank on the other hand, typically only joins them when their America bashing fits comfortably in his Bush bashing agenda. Seemingly out of these folk's grasp, is the rationalization that after the majority of voter re-elected the man; insulting those who voted for him does insult most of the voters in this country and consequently the country as a whole.
Don't hold it against them, though Graffiti. Their constant, predictable, anti-U.S. nonsense really isn't personal and all three are truly decent people even though they're communists.

Yes - Chrissee's comment was over the top - but so is your knee jerk response.
On another thread at about that same time I suggested God might be an A-hole. You see, I was spoiling for a confrontation at the time, but no one was available. 
I suspect you missed most of the humor intended in my posts (like the whole "gang up" paragraph for instance). Look closer
you'll see.
