I don't know you, I only have what you have written to go on, and what you have written evidences someone who bears both covert and overt prejudices. Sorry.:shrug:

um, i completely understand where your coming from, and i agree that based on that one thing i wrote you were justified in making that assumption/statement. but like you said, you dont know me,

its just that when i argue, my points are based on what i know or statements i've heard other people use, with the american history and the UN i talked about in my first post here, that was from actual research for essays i did a year ago. the part that started this controversy is what i heard other people use (bad idea), and i only said that for arguments sake, i thought someone would have a rebuttal towards it, i didn't intend to offend anyone and at the same time subject myself to name calling.

its just that when i approach an argument/discusion, like i said, i treat it like an essay (regardless of personal views). i'll make a point and i'll support it, but with the statement you disliked, i didn't really support that, cause i had no idea how, because its what i heard someone else say.

well i now understand why people say politics and religion should not be discussed.
