<< Boy!, so much belligerence and anger in most of your posts! >> I do get angry when small minds try to spread lies and propaganda. << Just don't like anyone who doesn't see eye-to-eye? >> Now you are mistaking confrontation, with anger. Consider me a pro democracy protester, who protests when someone compares America's leadership with Hitler. << Anything constructive and informative to write? >> If you had actually read my notes, instead of looking for "feelings", you would have noticed that I bring up a lot of issues. It's just sad that none from the appeasement side wants to open their eyes. Here the note that I wrote to PartyTime, for which you told me that I showed belligerence and anger: ===> PartyTime: "You equate America, and it's leader, to Hitler, and then you comically say, "Can't we all get along--lol?". Can you spell disingenuous?" <=== I really feel that PartyTime pulled a cheap shot, by sneakily trying to equate President Bush to Hitler, and then trying to deny that he had actually equated Bush to Hitler. Why was PartyTime sneaky? Well..... after he compared Bush to Hitler, he then said: "Robert, I was discussing what Hitler's speeches were like when he was trying to rev up support of people to back him." This is a weak, tired tactic, that has been used many times. You throw two names together, with a unimportant similarity, in order to equate the two. For instance, you deliberately say that Charles Manson, many times, spoke about wanting to change the world, and the Pope has often spoke about changing the world. Thus you are able to equate the two, and insult the Pope, and are able to weasel your way out of this slander, by saying that you were being comical.
