So me saying that the USA is extremely quick to respond with help /food / medical care in the aftermath of a natural disaster - which is true, they save many hundreds of lives. You now think that the USA's reaction is insincere?KenHigg said:I'm guessing that was about as sincere as a GWB ..... Never mind

I'm not quite sure about the structure of this sentence so I'm inclined to ask for clarification - It started out like a question then kinda ended up like a statement of some kind...
ColinEssex said:
Again, This is kinda gray - Do I think that when we (the USA) assist another country in time of need, is it insincere? Well, I suppose, if I catch your drift(?), some of those involved are primarily motivated by the desire to help. But I'm sure others could have other motives, say like financial or political motives...

I'll try to make it simple for you then.KenHigg said:
I said I was praising the USA only 2 days ago.
You said
So I'm saying, what is insincere about the USA going to save and help people?
I couldn't quite work out why you would think that about the USA's rescue efforts - thats all. Unless of course you think there is an ulterior motive on the USA's part, which I would suggest is not the case.

Oh, ok. So now let me make it simple for you: I was going to say that your praise of the US was probably not sincere. (Can we do another topic - this one is starting to give me a headache
)BTW - What's 'anatony'? I googled it and couldn't find anything - ?

COl, I think when Ken said it was insincere, he was referring to your comment about his apology and he was having a little jab back at you like you had to him. I dont think it was meant to say that the efforts of the United States and Great Britain in times of crisis and disaster was insincere.
just my take on the whole exchange

In that case I shall not praise the USA again.KenHigg said:
Its sad that you now show that you cannot take a) constructive critisism, b) constructive praise, and c) constructive opinions.

Ken has many times apologised and said sorry for comments he has made then continues on the same. There is no reason to believe the recent one will be any different - thats why it is insincere.KenHigg said:
Its like a Roman Catholic confessional - say you're sorry then carry on the next day as normal - total waste of time
