Thank you.

Not in your case ;-)

Um, how could I read what you didn't say?  Logic is obviously beyond you.

Sure it did.  Let me clarify for your simple processor: "WE" in the context 
you used it does not exist.  I am simply disconnecting myself from you.

They'd be too busy trying to figure out who let you out of your cage.

Oh, that's cute.  Like there's such a thing as smart shit?

I'd say the value of your p is less than 0.

Justifying generalisations is what bigotry is all about, scum.

Since your evidence is your opinion, your evaluation is more worthless that 
you are, and that is an achievement, I must say.

Has it ever occured to you that *you* are biased.  Naaaaaaaaaaaaah, 
couldn't be...

Oh that's quite a clever comeback.  Very popular with kids my daughter's age.
Now, since you can only insult me with things that are obvious nonsense, 
then it is clear to me that even *you* think you are wrong.

Thank you VERY much.  Now go get stuffed.

Excuse me?  Are you so clueless that you don't even know you're rapping 
yourself here?  You've been "hurtling" your own accusations, jugements, 
prejudices, etc... around without activating either brain cell.

It was structured just fine.  Only the functionally illiterate would fail to 
see from the context I was implying causality, that you would eventually 
die *because* of the hatred, presumably before otherwise.  This is common 
usage, and for someone who pretends to be authoritative about English, 
that's a pretty big miss.

I think other people might notice the smiley.  Miss it, did you?

You are such a jerk.  You (not your nationality or anything else am I 
attacking here) put Americans ina no-win situation by saying "START giving 
me a reason to give you people some credit" and then you are just as 
defensive about your own Self Righteous, Bigoted, Lying Fool (tm) comments.

Face it.  You had me judged before you read anything.  Then when you read it
you filtered the real arguments and picked all the nits off and ate them 
right up.

I see that further conversation  is probably pointless.  You do not, nor 
will you ever see my point.  Your next post will be to busy hurling or 
hurtling things to deal with any real issue.  Issues, BTW, are not about 
whether some person or nation is stupid.
