Actually - and my posting record will, I think bear, this out, if you care to observe it - I am a reasonably pleasant and amiable fellow, but I do have my weak spots. Prominent among the latter are stupidity and narrow-mindedness; those who preach to the uninterested and adopt the view that their personal beliefs make them somehow superior to the rest of us have also been know to make me set pleasantness and amiability aside. You wrote: I'd like to know your thoughts on the following...><> concerning the beginnings of the many various nations of people in this world. Providing of course, that you have any. This struck me as blatant stupidity. Asking for a theory on the origins of "the many various nations" is like asking "what do you think of biology", a question that would be appropriate only from a first-grader. The section in bold-face type struck me as overtly insulting. Chuzzlewit's posts show him to be a person who thinks, and thinks well; if you think at all, you conceal it with a thoroughness worthy of a better cause. I do not particularly enjoy being pugnacious, but if you want to make me that way, keep directing stupid and insulting posts at people I respect. I repeat: if you have a specific question on the origins of a given nation, ask it; if you are lucky someone may deign to answer it.
