1. I know english. 2. My reasoning is pretty much shared with half the people on the board but they're too scared that they might be looked upon as peculiar or worse. I however am not. 3. I'm not going anywhere. I can make time to play with you, but not much. Beating a dead horse is fun until there's nothing left but a pile of dirty matted hair on the ground, then it's just a waste of my time... Uhhhhhh..... the politics forum isn't a place to randomly spout out my beliefs? Talk about faulty thinking. And who said nationalistic? I'm talking idealistic, I'm talking about letting people be people and not part of a nationalist hive mind whos mind changes with the person(s) in power. Those that believe in God or a number of gods may be seen as silly by those who don't, and vice-verse. What may be something you consider very important like your wanting to drive an SUV may be seen as rediculous and infact evil by some tree-hugging hippie, but it doesn't make him right because it's your choice to make and not his and you don't want someone else making such a lifestyle choice for you through their bantering or threats of violence ALA the E.L.F. Back to the gun issue, people in switzerland aren't sue-happy idiots like they are here. People are more afraid of getting sued by their attackers after capping them rather than being hurt. Unfortunatley we the people have become sheeple that are drawn more by what's in our wallets rather than what's in our minds. And as a lazy and incompetent people, we prefer our security over freedom and free choice. But in the process we have lost both. However, just so long as we can get the nice little conveniences in life like microwave ovens and Mr. Television that fills our minds with happy wasteful thoughts, then those other things that made us human beings over the eons won't be missed all that much. And now, for something more worthwhile that may get the point across, after all, I know most of you can't get through long articles or posts without wanting to look at pictures. http://mywebpages.comcast.net/josephgrant/byebyeterrorists.gif lol...i like the pic
