Even if they are 37 years old (which makes the facts that they can't see the world beyond their own front door and are complaining about someone elses unsatified customers even more sad).
Ok you know what.... I decided to stay out of it since there were nothing but misinterpretations and attacks going on and no one was actually hearing me...but now....
I'M SORRY I ASSUMED ADYWAN WAS AMERICAN!! Forgive me won't you! FFS.
FYI, I have many MANY Brit friends and some of them can't see their world beyond a tiny island that would fit inside the state I live in.
That said, I take offense to the assumption that I'm one of "those Americans." You have NO idea who I am personally, my beliefs, my education, anything about me. I am however American. Born here and can’t do a thing about it even if I wanted to. So to jump all over me because of my birthplace, to get all elitist because my default setting is what I'm most familiar with is just asinine and as prejudiced as you are making me out to be. I would no more assume to know any thing about anyone here than you should assume you know me from a total of 5 posts!
I am also somewhat unfamiliar with British politics and I would never presume to defend a position I was debating with someone else’s political structure, so I used what I know. I do however know several Brits who assume they know how US politics should work and have no compunction in telling me who/what I should and shouldn't vote for on any given occasion.
But of course...I would never assume you were one of them.
Done...over...drop it. I'm outta here and refuse to spend any further energy on thick headed geeks who's only way of defending a position is by attacking someone personally instead of having an intelligent debate from two similar points of view. It’s too bad there were so many that couldn’t see past the ends of their own nose to possibly engage in intelligent discussion and maybe both sides could learn something new along the way.
Gee…and then people wonder why the world is the way it is...
To those of you who took Axia's post as the joke it was meant to be, and those who represented a modicum of tolerance and humor, I thank you for restoring some faith in the human race. Few and far between as you may be.
