...its stuff like this that makes us hate the French even more
when people suck (like) mike hawk i find the best way to deal with their ig'nance is to not write anything back.
how do you feel when someone responds to something you've written? yay! people care what i say, let's open up a can o' debatin'. and if no one replies? ahh feck! nobody give a shite what i write. i might as well keep these stupid comments in me heed!
but what the feck am i doing? i'm responding. i guess i don't heed my own advice. most off the time when i see threads digress so much i just tune out. i usually have much more important things to do than get into a debate about race or nationality with someone whose opins are already ingrained and are not very likely to change.
fwiw - it's not okay to make personal attacks on people or broad biggoted statements either. those kinds of things really detract from the quality of this forum, which is, on the whole is a great place for healthy debate. if you want to act like an ass, there are plenty of other venues...
