There you go Ryan...side-stepping again.

I'm aware of the phrase, smart-ass. But you're still wrong. This
country was not founded on racism. It was founded on freedom...that
would be the opposite of slavery in case you didn't know what that
means.

 RB> racist laws on the book

 RB> Can you deny this? Or do you not care, because you're white?
We weren't talking about supporting another countries laws. And you're wrong
again. Supporting a country in one way doesn't mean we support every aspect
of their people. I will support your right to express how you feel about this
country but that doesn't mean I support ALL of your ideas.
I'll tell you the truth, Ryan. This used to be quite an enjoyable echo. It 
was educational,
informative, and from within sprang some intelligent exchange of views and 
opinions.
Your posts, however, are full of contradictions, insults, « truths, 
disrespectful innuendos,
and just enough of your bullshit to piss off everybody you possible can.
I don't believe anyone could be stupid enough to believe all of the babbling 
you spew. I
do believe you know just how to push people's buttons and you get off on it. 
The truth
doesn't even matter anymore, just as long as you can anger someone you'll be 
getting
your rocks off. About 6 months ago I put you in my twit filter (the only one 
in there, BTW).
I thought I'd give it another chance but you're worse now than you ever were 
and after this
post your name will be there again.
Don't bother replying, I won't receive it.
