What is it I have only "read about"?
Originally posted by SuzianneI am talking to you about American people and about Republicans in particular. I have plenty of first hand knowledge of American people, including Republicans. I also have first hand knowledge of the kinds of stereotypes you come out with. I feel well qualified to discuss both of these things with you. 😉

Maybe some people just don't want to date someone that thinks that someone like Mo that has the horrific human rights history he has and equally hateful rhetoric he spewed, is a perfect and upright man of God.

Yes certainly. This forum is after all for both debate and discussion.
[b]And when did I claim that you were "attacking" me? I only claimed that I was "close to being offended" and that your statement was just another stereotype I've seen before.
Except it wasn't a stereotype at all. I didn't think you were anti-communist, but I did know that you ...[text shortened]... ay that you, or an American Christian naturally distrusts Islam and communism. You made that up.[/b]
Originally posted by SuzianneI am not discussing "the American political system" with you. I am discussing American people. And I am discussing your penchant for stereotyping a large diverse group of American people called Republicans.
Because of all this, I don't feel you're qualified at all to discuss the American political system with any Americans, Republican or Democrat. And I certainly don't feel you're qualified at all to render an honest opinion on how "justified" is my opinion of Republicans.
Originally posted by SuzianneI settle for no such thing. You imagined it. Feel free to come back tomorrow and prove me wrong by quoting me saying something that remotely implies that I think that American Christians naturally distrust Islam and communism. You will not succeed.

We may have to settle for "agreeing to disagree" for now.
