Exactly. . . . . . .one of Kens first posts of the day is a personal insult to another forum member

Still, its nice that all the other forum members will see it and note that neither you nor I said anything personal against Ken to prompt such a remark

Col

Because the first post of yours I read was another in your long list of flippant insults against America. At times you're simply rude and don't seem to care. You're little ditty on Tupperware could have been made without insulting us. But you just had to tack it on - who knows why. You're a nice guy in general and a lot of your assumptions seem to be valid. But for some reason you have a thing against America. A long as you make these flippant insults, you'll get the same reaction from me...

I'm still sore that Wazz is leaving me off his list.

I guess it's pretty simple here... Col likes to insult America, no one knows why, but because he does, I insult him.

The reference to a free F16 fighter plane was a parallel to the free weapons that the USA has given to Israel.

The U.S. also gives Israel weapons and ammunition as part of the Excess Defense Articles (EDA) program, providing these articles completely free of charge. Between 1994-2001 the U.S. provided many weapons through this program, including:

64,744 M-16A1 rifles
2,469 M-204 grenade launchers
1,500 M-2 .50 caliber machine guns
.30 caliber, .50 caliber, and 20mm ammunition

The Afghanistan map reference was in relation to where Bin-Liner is hiding.

I fail to see why that should insult you

In the UK, our Government prefers to sell weapons, it helps our balance of trade figures no end.

According to the Campaign Against Arms Trade, the UK government introduced new guidelines in July 2002 allowing it to bypass its own export criteria and authorise the sale of UK-manufactured components to the US which are then incorporated into F-16s bound for Israel. There is credible evidence that Israeli F-16's have been deployed aggressively in Gaza and the West Bank, making a mockery of the guidelines the government itself wrote.

In the UK we make about £1 billion a year on weapons sales worldwide.

For the one million'th time, it's not the issue, it's the way you present it. Couldn't you have presented the F-16 issue in a more civil manner instead of tacking on to the end of the facetious Tupperware post?

Your point is well taken, it's just a bit hard to digest when it comes in such an insulting manner. If you tried to bring these issues up without coming across as rude, you may even convince some of us that what we're doing is wrong a do a little good around here...

so by default, that means some of you think that you (I presume you mean the US government) is actually doing the right thing?

Do you need convincing then, young Kenneth?

you make me laugh, Ken - you're sooooo serious - you need to loosen up a bit

I'm still unsure where I "insulted" you - I thought the Tupperware post was quite witty actually

So one man is all it takes for you or Colin to hate America and Americans? All of your anti-American/anti-America flames, are because you do not like/hate President Bush?
