Re: Faerlas and Everett

Faerlas, apology accepted. But: governements around the globe made and will still make mistakes. But the gov is not the people. They don't always reflect the opinions of the ones who elected them all. So why do they get elected you would probably ask? Well, someone's got to BE elected! Even if the candidates are not worthy of such power given to them. But you know, politics make us all a bit cranky, we all have our opinions, we all take sides. Maybe I was wrong also, Everett made me think. I called you a racist, and that was wrong. As usual I've let my emotions take over my judgements. So, I apologize too but, I still stand on my position, we cannot judge people by their governement because like I said before, it is not always the reflexion of the people's opinions or ways of being. But let's put this misunderstanding behind and pretend it never happened. You okay with that? (I'm a volcano Faerlas, I tend to erupt. That is one of my worse quality (yes, it can be a quality! But in rare occasions, like for example: you want people to hear what you have to say or if you want to put some sense in heads!)Anyway...) Apology accepted.

Everett, professor Everett, I guess that the meaning of racism depends of one's culture and/or background. It's different from one to another. It has different degrees. But for me, it means hate of a nation different than ours, mocking others beliefs or culture and spitting on nations because of the mistakes or bad decisions from their leaders. I am not saying that I'm right but this is what it means for me. The "Anti-French" thing,(the expression "Anti-French" is from a racist nature!)anyway, the way I interpreted Faerlas's words...it was like all french people were losers. Being french, of course I got offended. But, I admit, judging him racist was wrong. But know this, if you are "Anti-french", you are against me. Being "anti-french" is racism. If I would say that I am "Anti-american", some here would not be too pleased and they would be right and that would make me a racist person. By the way, I wasn't sacarstic when I called you professor Everett, you know so much! I admire you!

Anyway, take care all, no hard feelings! ;~P
