The gentleman in question has unfortunately joined forces with another of his ilk and concluded that I must be 'Campaigning' against the West since I have published some very strong objections to the unlawful invasion of Iraq.
I have also stated my objections to the insults levelled at the leaders of other nations, since they ARE the leaders and should be respected as such, (regardless of our personal opinions) as we are not qualified to criticise the policies of other nations particularly when our own is under scrutiny from those same nations.
I have always endeavoured to seek the 'Root Causes' of any conflicts I have made reference to and seem to have attracted a great deal of criticism (mostly from the same sources) for my efforts.
I have been subjected to an enormous amount of personal abuse from one member in particular, his foul language does him no credit and I do feel that my objections to it have encouraged him to desist generally.
(This fact is quite apparent if you care to read through some past exchanges).
I have NEVER stated that I hate the West, NEVER condoned the actions of those who are resisting aggression, NEVER allied myself to the enemies of the West and NEVER offered foul language and direct insult to any member since I would consider that to be detrimental to my own character.
My avatar is the flag of Cuba, I have family connections there, the President of that nation has received his insult from the aforementioned gentleman's counterpart (who has also boasted of his verbal abuse to the Mayor of an area of Cyprus, such is his capacity for respect) I think it is shameful behaviour as the gentleman in question admits to be 61 years of age. (some role model for the younger members of this forum).
I am a citizen of the West, I am NOT a Muslim and NO, there is no truth in the allegations of the gentleman in question, he has merely become influenced by the other of his age.
Best wishes to you, sorry for the delay in responding, I've had a busy day.
It is time for me to remind you that the money spent on your education WAS the waste that you are talking about. As for the foul language that I no longer use let me clarify something for you boy . Your objections to my calling you a f..ng idiot , and abstaining from doing it again were not the reasons I have curtailed my explosive and colourful language. It was a father who reprimanded another forum member for using the f word by telling us that his young daughter follows the forum and would find such expletives perhaps offensive. That my dear was the reason , your comical interpretations of events around us will continue to receive the retorts appropriate .
AS FOR INSULTING THE HONOURABLE MOTHER F..R President for impoverished Cuba , as well as the baboon PRESIDENT !!! of Zimbabwe , and the clown President of Iran I accept full responsibility and promise to repeat the truths time and time again. I nominate you as the Chief American /West hater and the prospective candidate of Al Qaeda representative spokesperson the world over .
AND FINALY , MY ANSWER TO YOUR FOLLOWING STAEMENT.
"""""feel that my objections to it have encouraged him to desist generally"""
