Man, I can't believe all this racism, islamophobia, and anti-immigrant hysteria from this liberal thread. Thats what it would be if conservatives said anything like this: however, yes, many in Arab world want to ruin the West, that is their intent, and they love the riots in London. just fuck them. fuck them all. sorry, Chinu, but on occasion it is the only fitting word. really, Ted, how hard is life in England? Must really suck to have healthcare and be on the dole. http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=27554770 Fuck the Arabs!

Actual competence may weaken self-confidence, as competent individuals may falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding.
