<<Hard language and yet YOU SAY I have hard lanugage? A little of thje pot calling the kettle black it seems.>>
How the hell can you compare a threat to punch my lights out and make me eat concrete with a quote from a Marine Corps general who was actually there and can tell you from first-hand experience what the USMC is really all about? You've totally lost your sense of proportion.
<<Too bad. I was actually enjoying things again. It appears I have too thin of a skin to put up with this over a longish period of time. >>
Well, you got that right. Too bad.
<<You're an ass, I am afraid. Sad to say, but true.>>
Since when does disagreeing with you or failing to worship at the shrine of Amerikkka the Good and Benevolent constitute being an ass? The person being an ass here is you.
<< Your muckraking of America is simply too much for this thin-skinned prof to handle. >>
Tough shit, Professor. If you're an academic, you really should prepare yourself a little better for the rough-and-tumble of gloves-off debate.
<<You're filled with too much hatred and loathing toward America. >>
They've earned it. I'm tired of making excuses for the bastards.
<<Difficult for me to swallow for long. I love this country and would die tomorrow defending it. Some of us are actually PROUD to be Americans.>>
Well, the better ones are actually ashamed to be Amerikkkans. And I've met plenty of them, too. How you can be proud of rape, torture and murder, all in flagrant and glorious defiance of international law, strikes me as a kind of pathology that will only end in a well-deserved disaster.
