I have continuously stated that I believe the grass roots problems need to be addressed. Feel free to look at my previous posts, and a recent one to Paul2. That is my suggestion. It may not work, but I don't see the violet retaliation making this any better, on the contrary.
I think I responded to that one, so I won't do so again here. But so far, all I really see offered as a "solution" is "maybe violence isn't the right way to go..." My question then would be "What is???"
This was in reference to the dozens of posts that refer to Germany, France etc as enemies, simply because they didn't go to war.
Yes, I may have missed some of these discussions, being so new to the board. But I'll say that I don't think it was them disagreeing with us that caused the problems. It was the way the French and German governments went about trying very hard to undermine any US attempt to act in any way. We probably could have respected their desire to stay out of the war...but they in no way respected OUR wishes to protect our own country.
Anyway, please read my posts carefully. I feel like I'm treading on ice and at least I admit they my views may be wrong. That again, is the difference.
I read carefully. And I don't dislike you for your opinions. Not in the least. You actually seem the "nicest" of those here who are taking place in this debate. But maybe you feel like you're treading on thin ice because you're not SURE your opinions are right. Yes...that's a difference. The ground is much more secure when you KNOW you're right.
