I don't disagree with you here.

>>>Blaming the foreigners is the favorite demagoguery of every borderline fascist party I know of - from Le Pen's Something Front in France, to Jörg Heider in Austria to Šešelj's Radicals in Serbia to Zhirinovsky's party in Russia. That's their favorite tactic - find an isolated group to blame everything on, and forge unity of your ranks against them, i.e. on a negative issue when you have no positive ones to rally around. I'm not saying that whoever is picking these headlines is willingly oriented in the same orientation; the same trick may be at work for other reasons. And while the whole thing may be true in the case of your 'hood, it doesn't mean it's such a burning problem elsewhere.

>>I'm not as intelligent as you, so I understood only about 80% of what you said, but no tricks. Just a hot issue for me, and since there are no rules to keep me from posting, I will keep doing so. As I said to Doris, don't read them if you don't like them.

Exactly, but I'm not the one having issues with the posting of the thread itself.

>>>The titles of your threads do show that you are getting quite angry at the issue, and probably also at us who don't share the view that it's the most pressing problem of our times.

>>Angry at the issue? Yes. Angry at anyone here? No. Frustrated, maybe.

>I'm frustrated as well, but I guess I'm past the anger phase. Probably already burned out my lot on Milošević.

I rarely get angry about stuff online. It's really not much of a real world anyway. Other than when you see it directly affect someone like the Andy/Marcia/Nadya thing, then it becomes very real. These conversations and threads are nothing for anyone to take personally or get too worked-up about. Until something happens that truly affects someone, we are all just bits and bytes on the internet.

>My frustration is with the pliable masses who get so riled up around issues which didn't really change much over the years but are hot spot issues al of a sudden (abortion, immigration, non-mixed marriages) or were pretty much forgotten but reheated (intelligent design in schools, display of ten commandments in public places, the reversal of the recent addition of "under -" in the pledge)... all of it just a distraction. So you don't see the disappearance of many liberties, the soft introduction of police state, the near-dictatorship of corporations over the gov't, the democratic process frozen in the two-party model etc etc.

>Again, where to start from? One thread, one issue. How do you start a thread about everything? It'd drift before it starts. And I don't know how smart you think I may be, but I'm no political visionary, I can't propose a whole system. Any baby with a rattle would be able to poke holes in it.

You calling me a baby with a rattle?! <g>
