And Janus, my comments on the Marshall plan and that the US were cowards are in exactly the same post. Please be precise in your quotations.
my deepest apologies for making the mistake
You implicitly defend your countryman, part of the reason why i ask myself wheter you are a nationalist
im going to correct you here, because i dont want you to be under any false impressions. but then i will stop, because to be honest, i dont care how you feel about me, as long as i have made myself clear. I am absolutely not a nationalist, nor did i defend my “countrymen”, being those you referred to as bad. i share your opinon of those who make the ignorant comments. I choose to ignore them, because if i engaged them, i would frustrate myself, detract from the board, and accomplish nothing because ignorant people will not change ignorant opinions. i dont view the situation as
Your rejection of that concept is comparable to you watching how a person is beaten up, and then you complain when a third person slaps you in the face to make you step in and end the brutality.
because while i sympathize with those who may take offense to these ignorant opinions 1) they are in no physical danger from them 2) they are ignorant people who hold these opinions, so there is no reason to take it seriously 3) if they have a real problem with it, they can take it up with the moderators, who im sure will take action if it is creating a hostile environment for a board member. i dont sympathize with you, because your offense, while commendable, is not necessary. if you choose to engage them in the same way, thats your perrogative. i choose to ignore them.
as for the defense of countrymen, i have defended americans in general from the abuse you lob, because like baker, i expected better from you, since you are not an ignorant person, and since i am american as well, meaning your abuse falls on me as well. dont mistake my silence in the face of some ignorant people making ignorant comments for approval, or support.
if you still choose to view me as a nationalist, or whatever else you want, fine. like i said, i dont care.
