sharkman Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Could you please make some sort of point? That is connected to the title of this thread you’ve started? I rewrote that three times, in an attempt to be dispassionate. Success may have eluded me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great point, you see @sharkman this is why The French Empire never achieved anything in history. They are smart people, such as @August1991, but the arrogance is such a level, one can not achieve things. Just look at the difference between the British and The French Empire and you will see why one's culture is superior than the other. Is all about approach. The British always left something behind to work on, well, the French were too selfish for that, is my opinion.

Michael Hardner Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 The presence of a poster who likes to consider things, even poetically, is aggravating to those who want to come on here to moralize and blame cultural groups to which they don't belong. As the kids say @August1991... you do you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Michael. Hope @August1991 knows that Ted Kennedy was a good man but he had issues. It is possible, very likely he is speaking at a frequency I am not educated enough to understand. As for the cultures, please that was a joke, first of all, I no longer think as part of a herd, and secondly, I travelled for so long, in those terrains, feels like home. And being in 2023, and the world being global, people rarely take offence and if they do, they can communicate that to me and will understand reason.
