To Mr/Ms/(?) Tat_tatto_Chiya: You can make your essay as lengthy as you want to but if there is not substance in it then it’s just going to result in waste in another reader’s time. You wrote “ …. why didn't you brought your true face earlier I would have just shruggged off your comments and be on my merry way... anyway .... ” You need to brush up on your grammar again there is an Italian saying ‘only a true friend tells you when there is dirt on your face’ You are the one who started with words like ‘crap’. I was being really tactful by using the phrases like ‘I hate to criticize every postings” If I happen to be in an another economic-power like (say) Germany instead of the US. I would never claim that I am a 1st class world citizen but this country of US is a nation of immigrants and you don’t have to degrade me or others as 2nd or 3rd class world citizens. But you are free to degrade yourself to underground level if you like. Even the Secretaries of State like Albright, Kissinger were born and raised in countries other than US. Any immigrant could rise to those statures if one is levelheaded enough. Having said that, why the heck does it matter what my passport says. You see now where I am coming from? (Don’t give me that same kind of crap by writing “ ummm…from Nepal”) Again, you wrote “ …. jasko sakti usko bhakti, survival of the fittest. You do eat rt? where does that food come from? killing animals and plants? …. “ Killing animal for food and killing a particular race (genocide,like the Nazis did to the Jews) are two different things. How do you think the Geneva Accord came about? The answer is: to treat the prisoners humanely. And you are so ….(I don’t know what) that you are trying to include both examples in the ‘Survival of the fittest’ notion. The claim in the US perspective is: the government could have treated the Natives in a better fashion after conquering them. ( Even genocidal allegations have been made too BTW). After all, the US is the main advocate of freedom and democracy, they should set an example. The question of if I came here 500 years ago crap. That’s just a iffy notion. No matter what I would say you will just be speculating. Let’s just get in the facts and not go into where I would have emigrated or what I would have done 500 years ago. The fact is I was not even born and that should settle it. No doubt. America is an awesome place but may be for you it’s a complete Utopia. The country is marred by racial discrimination, violent crimes etc. This country is going to need equally industrious and foresighted people in the coming days as the previous generations did if it is to maintain its prominence. Am I gonna stop responding to your wordy English 101 mini-essays and not sound arrogant? Yes I would stop at a heartbeat and even laud you if and only if you can clarify and convince me of the ‘take-away ‘ from all the postings you have created so far on this thread. May peace prevail (But people need to be more soft-headed before the peace will stop being elusive)
