The new home for the political stuff in the Cotto-Foreman thread is here

I'm not comparing Sweden to Nazi Germany because Sweden holds itself up to pretty decent standards. Israel time and again shows itself as a rogue state.

I will concede that I have been a bit mean regarding Foreman. He might well be a lovely chap, but when it comes to this fight I hope Cotto does a number on him. It's petty and trite, but that's the way I am feeling. Honestly, a week ago I couldn't care less who won, but this is my way of getting into things.

I'm tired of all this US-Israel-Foreman stuff now. It's worn me out and I don't care about it that much anyway. Everyone is calling me Hitler and an arsehole and I don't like that too much. It's just a silly boxing match. It's not exactly Louis/Schmeling and of course fighters don't neccessarily reflect the views of the political elite anyway.

I'm going to go and have a rest.

And a final point, I am very much the anti Hitler. I rail against fascism everyday on this site and I rail against what Israel does because what they do is inhumane, it's that simple. I am sometimes prone to making arrogant angry statements though which might make me seem like an arse to some, but I am really quite lovely.
