even worse, and they encourage morons to be be more so.

Wow - Such anger and self-importance, dude. Seems to me you've reproduced
faithfully here a favorite chestnut of yours, repeated by you in bars and cafes
throughout the few places in Europe you have lived. Quite proud of your
position out in front and slightly above all the other Americans, is i
You should have heard the old men pulling rickshaws in Hong Kong to transport
the British. "I got a fat one with luggage, who will pay me next to nothing!
High five!!". Quite revealing, the slang term for a British soldier in HK was a
"squattee", as in squatter.

Barry was being a dick, as sometimes happens. No need for you to admit anything
to him. I saw your reaction earlier as appropriate. So what if you have been in
