    Do you think I save all your posts on my HD or something? We both know what youve said in the past, be a man and admit it.
    And you lecture me about arrogance? You are unbelievably stupid, you know that?
    Childish name-calling...
    Mmhmm. By calling me ignorant?
    Anyone who denies that the US is the #1 superpower is obviously ignorant, what can I say.

In the back of my head I have a little voice saying "some wiley old chief has worked out how much benefit could be draw from the US good will that it will create" but I shove that cynical cr@p back, because I am sure that they meant it the way most of the poster have said.
      Of course the sentiment is nice, it's just the way it's been done seems warped. It feels like it should be the other way around (that's for all westerners, not just Americans).

        And the fact that you're mocking the universal ability of humans for compassion and empathy makes ME sick.

          The US is the only superpower, but that does not necessarily mean it is no.1.

          I actually don't deliberately insult Americans as a race, I wouldn't want to offend American posters I like. I do make jokes and I insult the US government sure.

            Ok. Hell. This was supposed to give attention to some people of good heart.
            If Jon, Osweld, or anyone wants to ramble on, just let them.

              America helps africans in many ways, but africans have to take some responsibility for their plight. Much of western aid is seized by corrupt despots.

                IMO, what Red_John seems to have missed is the fact that it's not a case of nationality playing a role.

                Many of those who died on September 11th at the WTC were not Americans.

                  How am I mocking it?! I haven't joked about this matter. I have explained the reason I believe this to be wrong.

                    Not that I lump Jon in with Osweld. Osweld seems to really have a problem with the States, and that's ok. He has a right to think what he wants.

                      I agree. But we're confusing governments and people again.

                        If you weren't mocking it, I apologize. But that's the impression I received from the comments about how the article was "wrong".

                            I read the article, but my post was not in response the the article. (And, by the way, I did mention that the Masai where being compassionate.)

                            My post was in reply to your only comment on the article " Kenyan Tribe Learns Of Severity of 9-11" which, to me, comes off as incredibly pompous and condescending, and implies that 9/11 should actually a signifigant event to them - even though there are problems a hundred times worse on their own continent.

                                Osweld, it WAS severe. Even Kenyan Tribe members recognize that fact.
                                Maybe they gave the cows in the afternoon though.
