    Oh so that makes it all OK.

    No, it makes it the norm for the USA. Live with it, it will never change. If you cannot cope, I suggest that you emigrate to somewhere safer.

    Please, oh please don't suggest this. There is only one country with tolerance for this type of fool, and that is Canada. We have enough of them already.

          Don't worry. I am sure the contempt he expresses for every country outside the US of A extends equally to Canada.

            Thanks for stating the obvious. It is when those emotions are exhibited without reason that paranoia is indicated.

                  Obviously you are an idiot. When I was a teenager, I would balk at the idea that there were bad people in the world, and I thought the government was a nice institution that was full of good professional people that were there to take care of everyone and protect us. I developed this mindset after many years in the government training centers. They and the media instilled in me a fear of those who would dare to speak out against authority because those who spoke out were the bad guys.

                                Probably because you watched FOX news and thought it was objective.

                                    I suggest a colour coding system for the various degrees of paranoia in the the lounge/back room: Puce --> Lilac--> Lavendar --> Palatinate --> Purple --> Indigo. Code puce being the least paranoid and code indigo being this[^].
