My neck of the woods? The ferocious hysteria of your hatred has obviously interfered with your geographical acumen. I live in the suburbs of NYC, 30 minutes from Manhattan.

If you insist on assaulting others with an endless stream of poisonous lava, you really must work on your timing and your facts. Spewing venom just doesn't work if you flop your geography exam.

Especially if you insist on holding yourself up as a model for international behavior and decency.

Absurd. Amusing, certainly - but still absurd.....

Re: Anti-Americanism 'feels like racism'

the best way to curb anti american sentiment: whenever you visit a foriegn nation, give a local a 12 pack of mountain dew, case of charmin plus with aloe, and a box of lucky charms. Then say courtesy of uncle sam

"Lucky Charms"? All that sugar might get them worked up. Too risky.

The charmin is a good idea, though - especially in places without modern conveniences. I suppose SOME countries have to make do with old bits of hoof from dead mules.

That's right, isn't it?

I should think the 5 pages of posts in 18 hours ought to be the first tip-off that this is a flame-thread.

1. What resources are we lacking?
2. If I have to spend another 10 bucks at Wal-Mart not to listen to whining that's would be fine by me.
