    As you mature, you will grow out of such childish things.

    I believe your comments show why you are paranoid.

    To our newer members: If you haven't seen them, I wanted to mention that there are a lot of interesting interviews in that forum. It is a good way to get to know some of our longer-time members as well

    ETA: Great interview!
    A great interview because the man being interviewed has as much honor as I 've ever seen in any man. A man of principle and keen intellect backed by the courage to stand against the world's rapidly growing evil. Reminds me of my father and grandfather but with a Brit accent and they were the two most honorable men I've ever known.. As the wild young man I was after my father's death I was lucky enough to meet and become friends with over the years 3 Marines all much older than me. Each proved to be honorable and worldwise. Each had endured the trials and tribulations of battle. Each one proved to be a truly great friend to me , sadly all have passed on now. I am honored to call Drummond my friend and I truly respect his insight and friendship enormously. Saddens me deeply to see what has happened to his mother country. Should he ever visit the states I'd move heaven and earth to get the chance to welcome him into my home for a visit.-Tyr

    It's always good to know which threads will make you look foolish if you try to sour them.

    Perhaps if any of the questions or answers did that, there would be something to possibly worry about. Until then, it's a non-issue.

    .. Wow ! This is very appreciated, Tyr - thank you !

    I don't know when I'll be in the US, but it will be a revisit when it happens - I've visited New York (.. well, Manhattan, anyway ..) several times in the past (in fact, as I type this, I'm wearing a watch I bought in Macy's, on W34th Street). Manhattan .. and from there, I've travelled to Hartford, Connecticut (via New Haven) to visit a friend I used to work with in London.

    So I do know just a little bit of America from personal experience already.

    If you ever visit the UK, Tyr, likewise, I'll look forward to welcoming you here. All being well, it MIGHT be possible to plot you a route that bypasses some mosques .. though in the longer term, quite possibly not ...
    It's That Bloody Foreigner Again !!!
