Point to a personal attack? There are none unless, you consider criticisms of US policies and activities to be personal? Granted, far too many Yanks are like that.
I don't mind however. I'm new here and trying to get a handle on how the rules are enforced. Apparently rules about attacking other posters personally are honoured in the breach more than the observance. Nice to know, but soft boundaries can make for unfair enforcement. Cuss words are presumably jumped on because I see none. They are easier to enforce because either they're there or they're not. This being a Canadian site I presume that disparaging words about sexual orientation will be jumped on with great self-righteousness as politically incorrect. Disparaging but unprofane slights such as that used by the above poster do not seem to invite criticism. The mine field is somewhere in the middle. I guess it provides ground for fertile thought for those who get personal satisfaction out of calling anonymous online strangers names.
As for our American friends, I am glad they’re here. To use an Americanism, they make for a target-rich environment, emotionally excitable, poorly educated and easily set up. The fun never ceases because they don't learn very easily.
You may be right about his intentions. I hope so. A bluff based on past US atrocities would be a smart play.
Gotta love the Tea Party line - simple, stupid and disingenuous, marginally within the grasp of an infantry mind but stopping there.
Interesting point. The only thing I would change is to say "Israelis" instead of "Jews" to differentiate between the Jewish faith and the government of Israel.
How well educated are you?
Where did you do your undergraduate work?
Where did you do your graduate work?
Where did you do your post-graduate work?

You've got to be ****tin' me? You want personal information about my education? There is a good chance I'm better educated than you, but who cares? Yankee go home.
Americans and people from any country are welcome on this Site.
Do you have a problem with that Buck?
I believe he was offering you a job...
sight unseen...
I heard there is a gigantic fat blob in the sewers of London. Need a good man to go down and get at it. I wonder if Tober is down for the job?

I believe he was being a typical arrogant american.
I've heard that there is no one better than you at sliding around in the sewers, so I think that job would be best left for you...... the expert.
There are a few that I am quite "fond" of. Unfortunately, I find far too many not too be "fond" of.

That was uncalled for , goober. On another fora, a similar remark bought a response that the poster regretted..
You must be talking about before the school of hard knocks, during the school of hard knocks and after the school of hard knocks, that's the kind of "graduating" that is much more important than that to do with any schools.

This isn't "another fora".
Often in recent years I have read Americans bragging on the Internet about US forces killing Third World women and children. US sniper Chris Kyle wrote a book about his kills and the US media featured him in televised news shows bragging about it. Conservative US bloggers express great delight with stories like Kyle's, often saying that more people should be shot in their own countries. No, I'm not fond of people like that. When I was growing up in the 1950's people who did this were referred to as Nazis and thought of as undesirable. When I was in the Canadian Forces we believed the people referred to as "commies" did the same kinds of things, and we greatly disrespected their conduct and were willing to fight them. I see no reason to change a lifetime of moral standards just because those standards are now standard operating procedures for the US military. No, now that you ask I am no longer fond of Americans.

WTH is a "fora"?
He didn't use it right, that is why I put "" around it in my reply. It is the plural for forum. Therefore, what he should have said is "on other fora" rather than "on another fora". It's what happens when one tries to come across smarter than one truly is on forums. They end up hoisted on their own petard.
Exactly as I suspected, Gerry! It's that damn Latin.-
I decided to do a little digging, as I use "forums" as the plural form normally and wanted to get a definitive answer as to the "proper" form. Guess what, not so definitive,lol. Here's what Oxford has to say and Mediacollege
Oxford
Definition of forum in English
forum
Pronunciation: /ˈfɔːrəm/
Translate forum | into German | into Italian | into Spanish noun (plural forums)
- 1a meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged:we hope these pages act as a forum for debate
- an Internet site where users can post comments about a particular issue or topic and reply to other users' postings; a message board.
- 2chiefly North American a court or tribunal.
seems pretty definitive to me.
Media College
Forums or Fora?
Fora is sometimes cited as the correct plural for forum. Although it is indeed correct, there is some debate over whether it is the only correct pluralisation. Most online dictionaries provide both fora and forums as acceptable terms.
You will notice that we use the plural forums here at MediaCollege.com. This is for two reasons:
- It appears to be acceptable English.
- It is the pragmatic solution.
We don't believe it makes sense to promote fora as the "correct" pluralisation because it creates confusion, offers no real benefit, and can't work anyway so it's pointless trying.
Kind of mixed on that one, but still pointing to "forums" rather than "fora". I would say that those that use "fora" run the risk of getting their snout caught on the overhead electrical wires.
Student Protesters Rip 2,977 American Flags Out of Ground at 9/11 Memorial
Somebody REALLY needs a serious ***-kicking.
BTW, these poor oppressed students are attending a university that costs $54,000 per year.
I am so outraged by this stupidity.
