IOW, do as you say, not as you do?  May I direct your attention to this:

"That's because you don't know what a real Moron is.  Just look into
the mirror and you'll see one. Many US citizens are conservative and
don't feel France has a very astute political system while all of
Europe is Socialistic politically.  We also think Bush did the correct
thing in fighting Terrorism with not a lot of staying the game from
Europe and the rest of the world. Europe has already suffered from
terrorist attacks because they just let it happen.  Conservative
Americans also know that Obama is leading the nation into bankruptcy
and doing his best to propagate a Socialist nation. I doubt he will see
a second term. With all the fine hair splitting aside, America was
instrumental in winning both WWI and WWII and Europe/England weren't
doing so well until we did. This OT subject should just die but as long
as people talk America down there will be some rebuttal."

Personally, and as an American, I find /that/ attitude offensive.
(for an international list, not so much for me)
OTOH, what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger and the OT posts help
resolve just exactly /what/ the list /members/ are all about and that
only helps Ubuntuism (humanity toward others) in the long run.  I
certainly understand several of us better now.
