Oh and speaking of katrina, and what the flag didn't do for it. The flag didn't help anyone, but the people who reside in this country of which it represents gave money to the victims (all while many of the people were looting, raping and killing each other, no less). Just as they've given to victims of all sorts of tragedy. You won't see that in Africa, where they are too poor to support their own people. Nobody is saying our country is perfect, and I, for one, am sick of the political corruption. I have had plenty to say about that.

But I'm not going to take my issues out on the entire country as if they're all against me.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Sorry, Pal, you do, The USA does not have a monopoly on community.

Excuse me? Would you like to run that by me one more time in a way that maybe makes sense and in any way connects to the point?

What does monopoly of community or lack thereof have anything to do with the comment I made? Did I not say that when tragedy strikes in this country people donate from all over the country, millions of dollars. And I said you won't see that in Africa where they are too poor to support their own people.

Do you not see the poverty there? I'm not saying that the people of Africa wouldn't give if they had the means. But they don't have the means. In fact, our people also donate to them! Which is great.

The context was about who we are as a country. There are a lot of moronic people trying to ruin it, both from the government and citizen levels. But there is still a lot of good, and all this whining going on about rights is stale.

And that's the point, Pal.
