Thank you for pointing that out Bowser.
However, half the people here would agree with your friends.
You see, other nations and other cultures don't matter to them.
They want to feel "safe".

These conservatives are looking down their long white noses and seeing only their lily white hands.
They live in a world where THEIR God protects THEM, and the rest of the world doesn't exist.
It is mentalities like this I walk away from.
You can't talk to them and you certainly can't argue with them.

Let them be.
We all have lessons coming to us in the next few months.
Better be the one who has his eye-glasses clean and on straight.
Your paradigm won't be rocked as much as these others.
