Ah, so the fact that I criticise America also means I cannot possibly feel sorry for the victims of the attack. Oh well, that is quite understandable of course, since I am merely an European, which as we all know are inferior mindless people, who cannot even begin to understand the god-like greatness of Americans... :( > Nahhhh...... A comment that gives great insight into your level of maturity. Or rather, the lack thereof. If I did not know who said it, it would almost be funny. > It couldn't be the utter absence of concession statements in every one > one of your arguments, you know anything that suggests that even can > see American points of view, even if you disagree with them, could it? Oh, so I am supposed to start every sentence that contains some criticism of the US with the words "I can understand your point, but ..."! Why did you not say so earlier! I suggest that we add this to the Etiquette Guidelines, so new members will know about this and not commit the heinous crime of criticising the US without making "concession statements" in every critical post. > Nahhhhh......

FYI, I *asked* this list if it would be immoral to make a profit in relation to these horrible events -- I never said it *is* immoral. Unfortunately, your habit of seemingly deliberately misinterpreting what I write led you to believe that I said all kinds of things that I really did not say; a belief that in your mind warranted launching a full-blown Jeroen-bashing campaign. Man, you must be feeling very proud of yourself right about now... > Nahhhh..........

Obviously, you did NOT understand. But since there is no reason to assume you ever will, I am not even going to try and explain it to you anymore.

Ah, so now I am lumped into one category with racists. Insult number <sorry, lost count -- too many occurrences>. I am beginning to believe you have launched a campaign to drive everyone who strongly disagree with you off this list. Guess I am just another victim. Have you already figured out who you will target after I leave, or will I be the last one? Three down, one to go. A long time ago, Ticia posted something about the rise and fall of mailing lists. I could not believe it then, but I am beginning to believe what she wrote was indeed correct... > Sorry, Jeroen, but its not about the friends you keep or how much you > enjoy this great land's natural and historic beauty. > > Its about having a virulent knee-jerk reaction to almost everything > America does and stands for. You mean, in the way you have a vitriolic knee-jerk reaction to almost everything I say that cannot be interpreted as mindless praise of the US?
