      Anti Stans are still Stans, unless you're talking about a Mahatma Gandhi. Now, now, I shouldn't be bad-mouthing my parent. :rolleyes: Cheers, Vikram.

        The problem here is that you've not given any thought to your approach 1. Saying 'all Americans are XXX' makes you a racist 2. Assuming that the people who died are innocent only shows your bias. They may have been, but how do you know ? Answer: because you've already decided, because you hate Americans. 3. Shooting off at the mouth as you did, without providing any clue where your info is coming from will of course anger people. You showed yourself to be a racist, and worse, you called on God to punish all Americans. If you had acted in a rational, sensible manner, you may have got a more friendly response.

                So, in essence, you said that anyone who is not white is not a true American. See what happens when you start nit picking ? Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

                  No, what I am using is the popular image of an American. Which to me is a white guy. And since whites make up the majority in the US why not. Nunc est bibendum
