I don't want to inflame someone most time and I don't want to educate someone most time. We are sharing information and views, often I can learn something from it.

I never treated Americans this way.

This is nothing personal about you or someone else posting on DebatePolitics.

America can change, this happened before.

I will never admit that America is more evil than it is good -never. What I will admit is that America has made mistakes, some of them evil, and that we should recognize those mistakes so that we can learn from them, but what I won't do is to allow those mistakes to define the heritage of my country or my people. So, now that you understand where I'm coming from, please, articulate for me where it is you're coming from. Are you here to inflame or educate? Because either way your words are falling on deaf ears. |
I don't think, my words fall on deaf ears because I see, how threads and polls develop sometimes.
