Is Buddha32 now shanpoo? I'm new here and don't know all the players. But they sound one in the same. I am very familiar with expressions. Expressions convey something meaningful in a concise manner, like don't throw the baby out with the bath water. "teeny little countries get invaded every day" is not an expression. It is complete disinformation that has no basis in fact. And when challenged to back up such a wild claim with proof nothing is offered. The paragraph that starts with, "Okay, I'm done everyone." is a classic response from a person who tried acting like an authority on politics, history and current events and eventually realized that they were factually ill prepared for the debate. People's emotions are running high. I can understand and respect that, but I am disagreeing with and trying to debate baseless accusations and distortions of historical events. If you want to scold Americans go right ahead. More power to ya, but it would better help your cause if you stuck to attacking our real evils instead of ones you've simply concocted from whole cloth. peace
