  Ah, that must be it, yes, everyone with a low opinion of what they see in the media about a country must hate it...
  Pity the poor fools who dare discuss it and reach a more educated opinion...

  No, LT, that's not it. I have been following this thread from it's inception with interest. I actually thought that this person was truly interested in learning. Alas, he is only interested in painting Americans as fools.

  If he wants an educated opinion, perhaps he should deal with his own preconceptions.

  Yes, this was a different spin, I will admit. But it is singing the same old song. Bush is the debbil, no, wait KERRY is the debbil, Iraq, Nazis. Same old topic, different way to get there. I knew what this person was up to early on.

  Sleepy, please go get involved in your own country & make yourself useful, instead of sitting here throwing veiled barbs at America or whatever your latest beef is.

  Where is the xjw support guys? Where is the LOVE? There are plenty of Yahoogroups & other boards to pretend to know something & to hash out & REHASH politics. Please, go somewhere else to criticize people, whatever way you choose to disguise it.

  "The longer you guys play this fool's game the more he can make himself look important, and educated." Thats so funny.I've learnt that flag saluting is not law as I had thought it was,this was based on me reading about it so much it watchtower literature. "I knew what this person was up to early on." Thats funny because I didn't. Why so sensative?I havent made personal attacks on anyone here. If i ever go to the states I will love to stay with you both.Smiles. Little Toe you dont have Gaeilic TV do you up in the remote Islands of the North?

  Look at your souce, sleepy. Real credible information can be garnered from the pages of WTS pablum books. I would suggest that if you are truly interested in learning about this subject, or America's history, or American government, that you look it up in a library or online.

  What was irritating to others, including myself, was your insistance that what you read was so, despite what you were being told by other persons that are American citizens, and have personal experience in American schools. This led many, including myself to believe that you had no point, and that you were merely America bashing.

  You would be more than welcome to stay with me if you should ever visit the States. Just remember, house guests are like fish, after 3 days they both stink.

  I cant see how anyone can deny that saluting the flag of your country as a child cannot effect many peoples beliefs system

  One more time: Children do not SALUTE the flag. Only MILITARY people SALUTE the flag. Get it straight.

  Good Lord! I also played with Blocks, Lego's, Play-doh, and I finger painted- OH THE HORROR

  Sleepy, we are secretly planning on invading Wales! Watch out for the Americans!
