Even you must be capable of seeing that. All you have done with this silly tirade is lend fuel to the "Jeroens paranoid fantasy world" argument. To attack rather than respond directly to the argument in progress is a sign of either a sore loser or a sociopath. I'm sure you can guess which your detractors will choose to go with. Point being that that isnt a very smart path to follow. > > First they went after the Native Americans, > but I did nothing because I was not a Native American. > There were people who championed the native Americans. > Then they enslaved the blacks, > but I did nothing because I was not black.

I can guesss what you are getting at here, but its pretty silly crap. > > Then the terrorists attacked us in their own country, > but rather than go out and fight, I hid in my basement > because I was too chicken too fight. The grammer in this one is so messed up I cannot guess what you are trying to say.

I'm sure that would make a lot of people care. xponent Whiner Response Team Maru rob
