Quoting vineyards:

Teaschip let me "streamline" the sentence you seem to have completely misunderstood.

For example, being a UK citizen, if you think the UK is the best country in the world and all the others suck (there are some US and Turkish citizens doing that for their own countries), if your attachment to your country's ways, values, perspective is more like an obsession (like Arabs being obsessive to everything Islamic) then you can't call yourself broadminded or educated.

If you continue to misunderstand my obvious statements like this, we should consider switching to some other language.



Vineyard, who ever said they felt their country was the best and all others sucked? I guess I shouldn't assume you were directing this to me or was making a generalized statement. I don't think I misinterpreted your post, I only quoted it verbatim. Then next time say what you really mean and dont expect that everyone can read between the lines. However, I still disagree with your statement. I don't belive someones loyality and patroitism to their country, necessarily makes them a closeminded and uneducated person. For some people this is all they know, whether they were brought up in a military family or raised in an enviornment to feel this way. But it seems we don't speak the same language here, so it's really a irrelevant post. I'll make a mental note next time to have another colleague review your post, since I'm incapable of interpreting your true intentions.

Vineyards and Teaship1, you don't actually seem to be arguing about anything "concrete" anymore.

Is this genuine antipathy between you, or...sexual tension?

Hell, I don't even know how this got started. I respond to one post and it's World War III, here. Anyhow, I don't harbour any ill feelings towards Vineyard. My colleagues and I enjoy reading his/her post. Sexual tension I can assure you aenigma x, I don't have.
I think maybe I need a drink or two.

I am a bit confused Vineyards

Was your post in response to my joke about sexual tension...or in response to the "Girls" thread?

I noticed you locked a thread, but you aren't listed as being a moderator? And I thought..."Bod? A Mod? That's Odd?
