Umm is it me or this turning somewhat into a us (THE patriotic) vs. them (THE non-patriotic and/or non US)....ack!

I think the main point (originally at least) was a question of if LDX was the only one getting "highly passionate" responses for his disagreement with the "popular" view here in the US.

Yes, I've had highly energetic discussions over controversial issues, though as of yet noones offered to try and deport me, heh. Personally, I think the responses were a bit over much...BUT...just as it was his right to disagree, they had a right to respond (don't ya love the double edge sword of free speech). Oh, in case yer wondering, I consider myself VERY patriotic..especially when I show I'm willing to allow others to express their opinion, whether or not I agree. Nuff said....
