From the other side of the world - 1 attachment - 1 attachment
Sj added these comments in the current discussion du jour ...
This is an international NG. That is what makes it great. I see no reason why anyone should openly disparage another country with a blanket statement like "I went to the dark side." That sort of bigotry has no place in what should be an enlightened world. I sort of took it to mean that he traveled to the other side of the equator ... I have friends in Australia & often refer to it as the Land of Oz or the Land Down Under ... I say those words out of a liking & fondness for the country & it's people ... You're a loon no matter where you are, Sj. I suppose you still say that Africa is the Dark Continent. I think it is pretty obvious that referring to what Star Wars called "going to the dark side" wrt the United States is both a bigoted and an ignorant viewpoint. As for some of the anti-USA feelings, perhaps we can blame ourselves for some of that ... Unlike the Marxist Mrs. Obama who just recently became proud of her country - Monday night - I have always been proud of the United States, even when some things have been questionable. And, I strongly believe in the saying "America, love it or leave it", which is what I suggest you do, as well as read and heed my sig. The 4 attachments you posted in reply probably didn't endear you to some of the regulars here ... & now this attachment ... not something I wish to keep or take seriously ... not terribly funny ... actually, kind of rude ... Again, you're a loon so I don't give any credence at all to your POV, so here's a repeat. -- HP, aka Jerry Don't be a fop or a blooter, make only pithy comments on Usenet |
