And there it is, being covered by several news outlets — just not the ones you choose to consume. Far from proving your point, it proves mine.

Would you rather we run round the Muslim neighbourhoods door knocking for an answer? lol... If its sad doing a google search it's even sadder discussing it with people we don't know surely? :p

You don't know much about the American film industry, which is highly critical of conservative politics. The violence I will grant you, but that mostly a red herring argument.

Your last statement is pure b.s.--you must be buying what your media is feeding you.

BDunnell,it is confusing the manner in which you post. While I read your posts and some are well thought out, and see my own replies to some and the

lack of clarity due to words not being printed although typed (two keyboard issues hence computer issues) it seems that I may be of the less than

swift variety intellectually. The old adage, A slip of the tongue is no fault of the mind,should be applied.

You do not have the 'monopoly' as you mentioned in another post on anything as we know already we don't either so why do you assume or project to

the forum that only your posts on topics are to be taken seriously and the interjection of others is minimized.

The statement I made is certainly not overblown.

Where did ioan refer to 'conservative politics'? He referred to patriotism, which is a very different matter.

I would respectfully suggest he was exaggerating for effect.

Umm, what to say?

Observing this pissing contest is rather distastefull but why is it happening? Is a criminl and terrorist attrocity against members of the public worthy of this type of rhetoric?

Grow up peeps. You're supposed to be humans :(

Believe me, I do not wish to lump you in with those the level of whose intellect I question, even if I may disagree with you.

How so? ioan's comment was not 'serious' at all. Were he a senior public figure, it might have been, but all he was doing was posting on a forum. Not that serious, in the grand scheme of things.

It was a form of rhetoric, namely vulgar celebration, that caused this debate to start in the first place.

For the sake of clarity, and don't get your panties in a knot, it was you, not me that stated Google searches. So, my point has been made. All you have to is for just the sake of being polite, admit you overstepped your mark. We, in this country are not ,all of us at least, uneducated.
