Not that I can recall Michael Terrell ever posting anything that look like an original idea, or showing any sign of having learned anything. He is pretty enthusiastic about posting petty insults, but since nobody takes him seriously he can't be accused of picki g petty fights.

Aaah, you are the self appointed Usenet Police for ALL usenet. That is why you think U is in WE.

Oh well, I'm happy to give purpose to your otherwise empty life.

Trivial Trevor doesn't like Americans much either......(LOL)

Does anyone like Trevor?

Your ego exceeds your reach.

As always, you snip anything you don't like.

Obviously not. You obviously hang on my every word and faithfully reply every time.

Oh yeah, he's one of aus.electronics most respected posters, at least that's what I've been told.

Disagree with Trevor on the issue of gun control next time he posts one of his anti-gun rants on aus.electronics, and you'll soon find out how much he is loved and worshiped around here.

Excuse me now, I need to puke.

I snip stuff I don't see any point in responding to.Your domestic circumstances may be a pathetic as your arguments, but they aren't objectively verifiable.

Just like all the things you post can't be verified. BTW, I see that they are kicking your ass on sci.electronics.design again. :)

It isn't an accusation, it is an observation. I lived in the US for a number of years, and, for the last 6 years, I have spent between 3 and 6 weeks every year working there. Because of this I have had the opportunity to observe US attitudes both public and private close up.

As to ignorance, the mainstream news media in the US report very little on world events unless US interests are directly involved or there is spectacular footage available. The dedicated news channels are a little better but still not up to the standard of similar organisations elsewhere in the world. I was surprised how little the majority of my American aquaintances knew of the world, we aren't talking about trailer trash rednecks either but reasonably well educated middle class people.

As for arrogance, there seems to be an opinion permeating US society that the "US way" is the only way. I have seen amazement expressed and ridicule and scorn put on societies that have worked perfectly for centuries but which do not conform the the "American ideal". I have heard US commentators express the opinion that "We should invade their country, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity", US political leaders "Declare the USSR illegal" or "Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran". It all sound pretty arrogant to me.

John does, in fact he follows him all over the internet just to talk to him.

I try to make sure that I do post verifiable facts. Since I an occasionally fallible human being, it doesn't always work, but I come pretty close. You don't do nearly as awell.

The usual vulgar and impotent abuse.

-- Bill Sloman, Nijmegen

Then quit trying to abuse them.

You must have been watching Fox. That network owned by a crazy Australian.

It looks more like stalking, to me.

I'm trying to educate them. They aren't proving apt pupils. You - at least - seem to have been persuaded that the Russians built more military aircraft in WW2 than got from lend-lease, which is one small step for right-wing-nitwit-kind.

-- Bill Sloman, Nijmegen

Not any more, he's one of yours now, and you are welcome to him.

Yep, he's been a US citizen for a decade or two, and we are more than happy to disown him!
