Since my substantiated and to the point responses as usual get cut down by you
personally insulting me I don't see the point in repetition of the contents of any
of my former posts. It's not that my opinion has changed just because you doubt my
intelligence and you apperently aren't able to properly interpret what I wrote in
response to previous posts of yours. I've asked a few times already if you think
that you have a justified right to be arrogant or if you are merely very proud.
All I got in response untill now are a few insults and still no straight answer.
But if you insist my opinion can be condensed as follows: I don't think that any
US citizen has any justification whatsoever for the obviously displayed contempt
for and arrogance against other nationalities. Even if you'd add a list of
accomplishments attributed solely to the US that would be twice as long I still
think that it's not a justification to get so loud and self appraising. Others
have discovered and achieved just as much or even more.
