clueless... telegraph.co.uk "A lot of pandering started going on, and you'd see soldiers and the American flag in every video. It became a sickening display of ultra-patriotism." "The entire country may disagree with me, but I don't understand the necessity for patriotism," Maines resumes, through gritted teeth. "Why do you have to be a patriot? About what? This land is our land? Why? You can like where you live and like your life, but as for loving the whole country… I don't see why people care about patriotism."

Re: so you agree Mao, Stalin and pol pot were. So that's makes 110 million killed by secularists and you are happy with that number. Well, I'm not going to check out that "110 million" number or ask you for a link... However, I think it's unfair to lump China/Asia together with Europe and North America when it comes to comparing their respective violence/warfare. The obvious reason is demographics: China was always much more populous than Europe and the Americas taken together. Remember that, up to now, the US Civil War is the US's bloodiest war with about 620,000 fatalities...() Now imagine China experiencing her own civil war today --the death toll would probably be around 62,000,000 --commensurate with China's 1.3 billion population. But such a hefty bloodshed wouldn't make "secularist China" bloodier or crueler than "churchgoing America".... Gus () Message 19724403
