Re: America - the light of hope (?)

Ah, I see - when you make (unfounded) comments, that is just putting in a post. When I make a comment contrary to your assertion, you call it "trolling". You and your close friend Shard deserve...

Re: America - the light of hope (?)

A very intelligent response. You ARE angry.

Sadly, I thought that this thread was one where a vigorous, yet civil, discussion could take place; obviously not.

Re: America - the light of hope (?)

I hesitate to respond to your comment, because it is taking us far off the topic of the thread, but I will give you this piece of "evidence". (Granted, it was done by some podunk west-coast school...

Re: America - the light of hope (?)

I have read your posts quite carefully, including the most recent ones where you are tending towards ad hominem terms towards me.

I suggest that you are making the analogy between an AA meeting...

Re: America - the light of hope (?)

Where did you say it? In the whole premise of this thread. Even your last few sentences ("starts to ring hollow") implies that the U.S. is in no position to criticise democratic failures in other...

Re: America - the light of hope (?)

I am not sure entirely what you mean by "democratic friction", but if you are referring to failures and meddling by officials in the democratic processes in other countries, why should the U.S. stop...

Re: America - the light of hope (?)

Actually, QUITE comparable. Firstly, if you want to see examples of "standing aloof and looking down", read some of the posts from places other than the U.S. Secondly, optimism and confidence are...

Re: America - the light of hope (?)

This is a non-point. If a foreigner criticises France, the French close ranks to defend the country. The same goes for other countries, such as Canada, the UK, etc. What you are asserting has...

Re: America - the light of hope (?)

Ths is analogous to asking, "Will Germany ever be able to recover it's reputation, or will the stain of Nazism be on it forever?"

With time, Germany has recovered, and it has regained its...

Re: Who pays for residential tax?

No, the tenant shouldn't pay the tax, other than the amount that the landlord figures into the tenant's monthly rent to cover the portion that goes for the property tax. The property tax is based on...

Re: Hi from Wales!

Well, Ann Arbor is a great town to live in. It is a "college town", with a population of 115,000. It's also the main campus of the University of Michigan (45,000 students) so there are a lot of 18 to...

Re: Hi from Wales!

Hello,

I am a life-long Michigander, so I might be able to provide a bit of information. To what part of the state are you contemplating moving? (I live in metro Detroit.) As others have said,...

You: “Got nothing to do with "processes", it's to do with what the OP said. And this isn't just some casual observation from a first impression, I've spent many years in the US and have US...

Re: new:Brit moving to Toledo, OH

What?!! The Detroit suburbs are burned out? Which ones? Besides the Detroit area, what part of Michigan have you seen? Charlevoix? Traverse City? Perhaps Ludington or Alpena?

Wow, so much to respond to!

1. Steve: "Well everything like this is a generalization, but the fact so many of us have noticed it means it is somewhat prevalent."

Re: new:Brit moving to Toledo, OH

Hello Ruth,

I am not British but I know a bit about Ann Arbor, not too much about Toledo. Of the two cities, Ann Arbor is much more pleasant.

If you have any questions about AA I would be glad...

Re: Critical Thinking and Debate in the US

Interesting discussion about “critical thinking skills”.

In our company, our department has an international teleconference call on a weekly basis to discuss large projects with our colleagues...
