Maybe. In my defense I'd say that I'm targeting an individual, rather than entire racial/ethnic/religious/political groups, as Mr. Gaskey is wont to do. I was also responding to being indirectly called a liberal asshole. I'd say my response was justified.

One thing that concerns me is many people in the US seem to think that Iraq was behind the attack on WTC. Is my perception correct and if so, what balance would you put on government and media as causes ? Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D
My perception is that there aren't many people who seem to think this. But then again I tend to surround myself with people who are educated and involved in world affairs. The rhetoric of the media and the government can be misleading at times so I can understand how those that are less informed might think that. Sorry, I won't attempt to analyze who's more to blame.

I wish I had the self control to be able to put into words how I feel as well as you have, but I do get overly-emotive regarding some of the xenophopic and near-racist comments and commentaries I've seen here regarding nations unwilling to beg scraps from the table of the Bush administration (see, there I go AGAIN!). I know that America, and it's people, are not fairly represented in the commentaries I refer to and wherever you're from I'd like to say thank you for bringing me back some perspective.

Yikes you actually read my biography? I will have to add that I am an American-Canadian. or Canadian-American.
My neighbours think I am crazy - but they don't know that I have a trampoline. All they see my head bobbing up and down over the fence every five seconds

5. Now you are what I'd consider a rational person :)

As long as you will use systematically violence, insults and disrespect in your posts, you will be considered by many as a trolling buffoon. You can't attack people and then hope they will listen to you. Hatred can't be a valid communication mode.

Yes - I would have voted for Gore if I had been in the States at the time.

Now I withdraw your rationality status :) (just kidding, of course, in reference to Mr. Wright's definition of rational)

Terry O`Nolley wrote: Who is the person that rabid liberals fear most? Not conservatives - they are easily beaten. The answer is an intelligent liberal that isn't tied body and soul to the extreme liberal platform. You are apparently referring to yourself. Your image of yourself is not widely shared. Terry O`Nolley wrote: I think that the opinion I hold that most offends self-righteous liberal bastards is my "You must be a Saddam supporter" position. That is certainly offensive but is symptomatic of a broader problem which is: 1. An inability to accept that people of goodwill might disagree with you. 2. A reluctance to honestly engage with other people's views, preferring instead to defame them by attributing to them a distorted caricature of their true opinions.

Your perception is backed by polls held in the US, and it's clear that a big part of the US excursion into Iraq and general attacks on Saddam is simply that they could not catch Bin Laden and had to be seen to be doing SOMETHING.
