I have not changed my position which is why you could not address one single point in my post. You have went from seeing America as " a highly aggressive and hostile country made up of battling factions " to hating anyone who has not sold out like yourself. You have gone from counselling Lyle about just sticking up for the Republicans, because the democrats are corrupt, to buying wholesale into the right wing myth of rich tax avoiding bozos being miraculous job creators. You used to moan about there being too much hate in America and now you seem disappointed there isn't more.

You have both invented this political and ideological position for me to occupy so that you can justify an extreme binary unsophisticated view of the world in which there are only ever two choices.
Not so.


You say "Why focus on wife beating in Islam?" and "We have a problem with wife beating in the west"....because Beanz old boy, it's 1 issue, 1 issue handled by 2 cultures in a very different manner.

In the West, wife beating is not something that is accepted in everyday life. It is prosecuted, people who do it are looked down upon, they are the scum of the earth.

In Islam there's a different attitude towards it. It's not against the law in Morocco to beat your wife. It's a great example of where our cultures diverge.


You have been told this again and again and again....but you fail to see the difference.

You want to bring up the KKK....alright well then you must understand that the KKK is not a group that is welcomed by, supported by, or celebrated by the average person in the west. And yet again you fail to acknowledge this and it's funny how you STILL don't see A) the difference in cultures or B ) that the example you bring up, the KKK has absolutely 0 effects on the argument at hand. You are just being contrary and I'm tired of trying to teach you how fucking wrong you are. You don't understand...ok well you can't make a horse climb a tree
