Your link doesn't work.

You also suggested that I was "rude" to running joke on another thread. And yet, it is running joke who was rude. Maybe you could apologize to me about that? :-). Here is his first quote.

"Btw, if I hear another idiot go off about the lack of French military victories and their cowardice, I would tell them that Napoleon was pretty darn successful with his French army and his men did not lack for courage." runningjoke

runningjoke not sunsong is rude

And, btw, that is what I am talking about when I say that foreigners are rude coming onto this American site and telling us off for expressing our opinions. You have not answered me yet when I have asked you where do you think Americans should go to rant and rave about anti-Americanism and antiAmerican policies in other countries?

Sunsong,

"It is remarkable by how much a pinch of malice enhances the penetrating power of an idea or an opinion. Our ears, it seems, are wonderfully attuned to sneers and evil reports about our fellow men."

So, your claim is I attacked you personally and was rude to you, because I stated only an idiot would go off on the lack of French military victories. Are you saying that I'm wrong about the French Military victories? Or, were you angry that I lumped idiots with people who make extremist assumptions about an entire country? I can only answer with this, "It is perhaps true that ignorance tends to be extremist. Our opinions about things we do not know are not likely to be balanced and moderate."

"The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we hate ourselves. We are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. We forgive others when we forgive ourselves. We are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves."

I am sorry, if you consider yourself an idiot.
