Depends. If you have nothing that particularly contributes then it is, else not. It is when you find yourself creatively berift that it assumes the nature of an obligation. It can also be a tic, something sort of uncontrollable but that is a late stage manifestation.

I proudly declare my unreasonable loathing for Canadians. If only those with unreasonable loathing for Americans could be so honest, this forum could save a lot of space.

It worked to get the Iraqi army out of Kuwait, didn't it? I realise that your current set of talking points says that the UN and France are bad this year, but I would have thought you would have remembered the first Gulf War.
It sounds like most or all of the Security Council is at least taking an interest in what Iran is up to.
Obligatory attempt to make this about personalities rather than facts observed. Start a thread in the flame forum if that's your idea of intelligent discussion of important current events.

Well, Jocko, I must then declare my reasonable loathing for you. By the way, I don't loath americans in general, far from it. Just you.
For now, at least. It is pretty rare that someone just comes out and declares himself a bigot! It's kind of refreshing!
So, who else suffers from an unreasonable loathing for Canadians?

We get to all names eventually.

Er, no. That liberation--as usual--90% the US's army effort, just as it was in Korea, Yugoslavia, and so on. If the US had not joined the war, the UN would have been impotent to do anything about it. How well the UN handles cases without the US's involvement can be seen by looking at (pre-US-invasion) Yugoslavia, Sudan, Rwanda, etc., etc., etc.
Whenever the UN is succesful, it is almost invariably because it is really the US armed forces--and, sometimes, with another free nation or two--acting under a nominal and worthless UN "leadership".

Well, that's because you have an odd personality. You accept conspiracy theories about "stolen elections" about the US president as gospel truth, but accept the word of President "we will kill all the jews in a nuclear holocaust" Rafsanjani & co. as somehow reliable.
Go figure.

That reminds me of the Portuguese mafia. Have you ever heard of them? Very secretive organisation. Nobody knows who they are. In spite of the name, you don't have to be portuguese to be in it! Some people are part of the portuguese mafia, and they don't even know it! if you betray them you're screwed. They always get their man (or woman). It might take decades, but in the end, they'll get you. It will look like a heart attack, a disease, an accident, it could be anything, but it will be them getting their revenge on you. Beware of the Portuguese mafia!Rob Lister said:Just half. Roughly.
