Calling me "Pierre" is another attempt to troll. Do I call you "Sam"?sitarro said:Look Pierre, I admitted that I had the date wrong, I know when WW2 happened. I hit the 6 key instead of the 4 so sue me.
Your point was that the holocaust was recent, right? It ended 60 years ago. So, you hit the 4 key instead of the 6 key, and the 3 key instead of the 0 key. Are you going to say that you hit the "P-I-E-R-R-E" keys instead of "I-I-I-X"? Your defense is not very impressive.
The basque region receives important subsidies from France as it is a financially weak region. Does it take an economist to understand that? Some of the Basque people are independantists - they are a small minority. The other Basques understand that it would be, economically a disaster; and many of them think of themselves as french as well as basque.sitarro said:It was he that told me of the wishes of his people to be independent and free from France. France doesn't want to lose the income from the Basque region, it doesn't take an economist to understand that.
I still think you're making stories up - I have no proof, so I'm not going to pretend you're lying. It is, anyway, very hard to believe.sitarro said:Your comrads at the De Gaulle airport in Paris made him strip to search him as he left France, I guess they didn't want him to smuggle any soft smelly cheese out of France. They also refused to speak to him in French in a lame attempt to insult him. Of course he doesn't want to return, he hates the socialism that is France. He has had a taste of freedom in America and loves it and doesn't want to return.
As for the smelly cheese, this is another attempt to troll. You do not make an interesting debater.
Americans are subject to what one could call heavy propaganda from several news channels and papers; other would call it the "american point of view". France is subject to the same thing.sitarro said:I have no hatred for the people of France, it is your lack of freedom and the horrible propaganda your press feeds you to keep you in the dark that I hate. You claim that we are the ones that have no access to the truth, could you really be that ignorant?
It makes both nations ignore their own bias and criticize other nations. In any case, I never claimed what is in bold in the quote. You are making up stuff in order to destroy the small credibility I have as a newcomer to this forum.
What do you know about my knowledge of the States? Absolutely nothing. I have my sources, I have been there, I have family and friends there; I am a member of an american message board since 18 months.sitarro said:You have no knowledge about the United States, you only parrot what your press tells you and think that we are the ignorant ones, I feel pity for you not hate.
While I consider myself to be quite knowledgeable on the USA - for a european - I did not accuse americans to be ignorant about Europe, because I think there is as much incomprehension on both sides. You are, again, making stuff up to suit you: you found yourself without an argument, and started lying.
You are also accusing europeans of being ignorant of the USA, hiding your selective xenophobia behind my supposed anti-americanism.
I am here to have serious discussions with people who do not think like me - religious people for example. The welcome I receive is a wall of ad hominem insults. You are not wishing me good luck - you are telling me to fuck off. Ask yourself, what would jesus do?sitarro said:It is obvious that it is you who doesn't understand.
It is you who as an atheist that doesn't have a clue. Do you honestly believe that the incredible wonders of this planet are just an accident? Do you think that the beauty that is nature is just an accident? How very sad for you to be so naive. Open your eyes and really try to see what is around you. Good luck.
