Richard. Only knowing you through reading your posts, I would say that it is you, and people like you, who are one of the reasons that hundreds of millions of people are losing respect for America and what it stands for. How sad, especially as you are not representative of any American I have ever met in Europe or through the Internet. You should be ashamed (if you know what that means). You are doing your country a great disservice. But apparently you don't care. Anything for a laugh at others expense, I suppose.

Your posts are incoherent, your arguments are irrational and rarely have factual basis, you seem mostly to be motivated by hatred. Have you no tolerance or respect for other people at all? You may think that this is all very funny, but I can assure you it isn't for the rest of the world (and about half of America). Ranting and raving is exactly what we DON'T need in such serious situations.

Why do your posts have to be so often full of intolerance and contempt?
