I really despise contributing to off-topic threads but I just have to say my peace on this one (because it has gotten *so* ridiculous) then I'll drop it. First of all, my apologies to Thorolf. I didn't mean for that to sound as harsh as it looked and like everyone is, so ridiculously, making it out to be. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregory A.

NOT cool ... remember, information should be free ;-)
You win the cliché of the year award. Bravo.
Next time, before you start calling names, how about considering the other person's perspective and ask yourself what *you* would think if you were half a planet away with different information resources?
LOL You're the type of person that sits back on these posts waiting for the perfect moment (which seems to be every other post) to spout out a novel's worth of useless B.S. trying to look intelligent so that one day you can hopefully be recognized by someone that has seen your name come across this list and dazzle your friends by "googling" your own name at parties. Anyway, who was calling names? What a hypocrite. LOL I made comment reference a previous statement... came out a little shrewd I admit and I apologized but here you come with flames a blazing speaking just as blindly as you accused me of doing. Typical. Oh... and in relation to the other half of the world... I *am* half a world away and I still research things thoroughly before speaking publicly. Furthermore, what do you mean different information resources? Ever heard of the internet?
The poster states very clearly that he is not a native English speaker. The return address points to Germany. If you are well traveled, if you even own a passport (and only fifteen percent of Americans have one) then you would realize how completely different the perception of America is from *outside* the fish bowl.
Thank you Mr. Discovery Channel but I have been to 23 countries and counting. One would be surprised how many people from around the world actually know more about America than a lot of Americans do. I also refer back to my previous statement on that whole research before you speak/internet thing.
Between linguistic differences (the German language, for example, puts the verb at the end of the sentence, a la postfix notation)
I speak German thank you. Besides that... what the *hell* does that have to do with this entire thread?? I think everyone understood him perfectly well and considering he's *Polish, not German, I would have to say he speaks much better English than I'm sure my Polish is. Props Thorolf.
And just to make you *really* cringe, I can't prove it, but I believe he's correct. 'nuf said.
Ok put down the tabloids and comic books. I've written commercial software for small firms as well as some very well known fortune 500 firms and I've never had anyone looking over my should, holding my hand, or snapping pictures of me in the deli because I didn't leave a back door in the software for the govt. to regulate. I've never even had a run in with the Mafia. " 'nuf said." Maybe that's why you can't prove it.
There's already a perception of the "ugly American". Please don't behave in a manner to further reinforce that stereotype.
In everywhere I've been in the world I've never had a problem. I guess it's all about how you present yourself and set yourself apart from the stereotype. Hmmm... maybe it's just you and all the other condescending egotists like you.
