>>>As to the other comments you made, I mostly agree. What makes it difficult to discuss this with you Walter, is that you take a statement and 'twist' it something it is not. For example: "I see a lot of right wing comments about that the outside world is jelous because of the greatest country in the world ever and therefore speak bad of it." I really think those comments are isolated and few.

Everyone except ultra-rightist, intolerant, reactionary and uneducated people, or, to put it simpler, except those not having the same views as Walter.
