I see nothing snide in his train-across-the sea-remark... As was pointed out earlier, the Brits are less likely to know a second language than their brethren across the Channel-- which is probably a result of their relative isolation. Of course, I could be wrong.

There was certainly snide comments from both sides. I was certainly pushed to the point of being pissed off; I'm pretty civil.

In this position you'll find several hypocrisies stemming from a number of the "others", in that they are both relying on this, and upset that you are ruling over them; my country is often guilty of this.
or what came before or after it. If you want this thread to go where I'm not sure your trying to make it go, I'll (sort of quietly) bow out

Silent Jay, I didn't really want you to take me "offline".

that's messed up Silent Jay - you can't completely erase your thread and rewrite it. Clarify it, but don't erase it.

It's funny because I can't even agree with you without getting a smart ass answer about how I'm wrong or insufficient in some way. I was saying that countries who criticize the US are hypocrites because they rely on your support but also condemn your actions. That could be considered ungrateful.
However I'm so tired of trying to explain my point that I'm giving up; it's just a flame war now where no one is listening. I'd apologize for starting it but I didn't.
I hope that's clearer. Also, my posts are clearly different, with the only similarity being that I "opposed" you. That isn't ground for ignoring it and passing it off as "the same shit over and over". And like I said before you could of gone a long way to listen to some of the opposition but you didn't. That comes off as arrogant, which is where all of the "you are contradicting yourself" comments came from. All of the sparing came after you refused to listen as well. Most people would consider starting a discussion and then refusing to listen to the other points both useless and arrogant. I think that's where most of us are coming from; definitely me.
