      "again you misunderstood. I don´t criticize a language here. my point is that it requires less arguing to defend a pro war position. the phrases I have to use are given by bush&co (evil dictator, freedom and human rights, etc. blahblah) and it´s almost only a copy and paste of short simple sentences. this is not a matter of which language we use."

      Just as easy the other way: evil imperialism, no racist war, no blood for oil, etc.

          How can that be? I thought we didn't allow communists to immigrate here.
          I'm actually wondering that myself.

                    Though I'm against the DP, it's hard for me to really be upset about their sentences. They killed a man just for the fun of it.

                      Sounds like an interesting fellow to talk with. Are you sure he was a Communist though. Maybe he only knew haw to use short polemic phrases.

                          I must say though, polemic is a very good word for someone who doesn't know the language. Methinks DL.

                              Do we see any similarities developing?

                                I had two Iraqi teachers when I was in the Army. One of them was a little old man. He wasn't a very good teacher, but he was very sweet and we all loved him. One day I walked into his office, and he was watching the news, and he was crying. I asked him once what country he considered to be his country-- America or Iraq. He said, "I don't have a country." I never knew the details of his life, like I did most of my teachers, because he didn't talk very much. I wish I knew what was going on in his head more of the time. He told a lot of jokes that no one understood. Mostly that was because he mumbled a lot. When I did understand him, he was very funny. He was such a sweet old man...
