I am not Monegasque, either. And you are not even entertaining anymore. "Pathetic" is what I would call trying to attack the nationality of a person because you cannot find a way to refute her arguments. A nationality you do not even know. I would laugh if it were not so sad.

Any even slightly libertarian related should jump of joy at the thought of something small and independent as Monaco. Without any Michigan Militia, southern flag waving and no need for it.

Keep promoting hatred toward every group of people. Here's where that leads:Hate crime charge in SF woman's brutal attack Bay City News Report Tuesday, March 4, 2003 7:17 a.m. -- A 38-year-old San Francisco woman who was nine months pregnant remains in critical condition with brain injuries after a 25-year-old man allegedly beat her in her home Monday afternoon, forcing her child to be delivered in an emergency surgery hours later, authorities said. The infant girl is expected to survive, according to staff at San Francisco General Hospital. In what police said ended in a "random, senseless'' act of brutality, Jerry Lucas, who has no listed address but is from Marin County, was randomly ringing doorbells in a quiet residential neighborhood near Precita Park, when around 4 p.m. he spotted the pregnant woman and followed her into her home near Mullen Avenue and Brewster Street, police said. Details about what happened next remain unclear, but he allegedly beat the woman with "such great force that it caused a part of her body to fall off,'' according to Inspector Raj Vaswami with the San Francisco Police Department, who declined to say which body part was severed and what sort of weapon, if any, was used. "He just beat her until she stopped moving,'' he said. Later, unaware of what had happened, officers approached the man who had left the woman's home and was "acting strangely'' outside, police said. He was reportedly covered in purple paint and threatened the officers with a broomstick. They took him to San Francisco General Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. Meanwhile, the victim's husband arrived home and found his wife where she had been left for dead. Admitted to General Hospital's emergency room a short time later, her wounds included severe brain injuries and numerous bone fractures. Fresh purple paint marked her body, similar in color to the paint on the suspect, according to Vaswami, who interviewed the man early Tuesday. "He looked very unkempt,'' Vaswami said. "And he did make statements that implicated him.'' The evidence led to an arrest and the suspect was booked on suspicion of attempted homicide, burglary, mayhem and felony hate crime. The suspect reportedly "made statements that led to the hate crime charge,'' but police declined to elaborate. He is currently being held without bail. Vaswami said tests are underway to determine whether the woman was sexually assaulted during the attack, adding that the tests are a matter of procedure and none of the evidence so far points to any sexual assault. Detectives spent the night interviewing neighbors who saw the man before or after the attack. The suspect reportedly had been staying with friends in San Francisco. The pregnant woman's husband, Vaswami said, is "hanging in there.''
