<<This forum is not America. It is made up of a small group of Americans, the vast majority of whom are far more respectful of others than you could ever be.>>
And show that respect by supporting the invasion of a member state of the UN with the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives. Yep, that is how everyone wants to be respected, isn't it?
<<Taunting with names is childish. It does not foster respectful debate . . . >>
Well you got a point there, boss. So "Amerikkka" goes, but "IslamoNazi" stays? Do I get to keep my beloved "ZioNazi" if "Islamonazi" and "Islamofascist" stay?
Personally, I liked "Amerikkka" and I'll tell you why. I think it stops a certain mindset in its tracks, the kind of person who is pre-programmed to see his country as a shining city upon a hill, one that can do no wrong. That's not even an arguable proposition to one of that mindset, it's a given, and re-naming the concept, from the beloved "America" and the knee-jerk adulation that it inspires, to the Germanic-sounding "Amerika" (the original misspelling, used in the underground press in the 1960s) and then the more homegrown-fascist "kkk" variant, both made the point, in the most succinct possible way, that the pointer of the accusing finger in the name of the all-holy America, was not really entitled to the holier-than-thou, holier-than-any-other-country-in-the-whole-damn-world, mantle which was being assumed.
I make that last point only to rebut your inference that my intention was to make a childish taunt.
<< . . . it does not foster reasoned discourse . . . >>
So far this forum has offered both reasoned and impassioned discourse, as you can hardly have failed to notice. To me that was part of its charm.
<< . . . and it certainly does not burnish the welcome mat for those passerby who peek in and then scurry onward.>>
LOL. That is the funniest part of your post, though I'm sure it was not intended as such. Apparently the welcome mat is out only for those who are not horrified by reminders of American racism and/or comparisons of U.S. foreign policy to that of Nazi Germany's.
<<I will ask you again nicely to refrain from this childishness.>>
"House Rules" would have been more honest, but I get the message.
