That's just it, I didn't come into this forum with "both guns blaring." Your questions to me are loaded with cynicsm so forgive my reluctance to want to bother answering them.

For the third time go see post #9 for some reasons.

Well, it's summer so that's an easy one: Sunny and hot for another few months or so. 110 in my part more recently.

There you go again. Don't you see what you are doing Lisa?

This is my last response to you. As I said before, if you wish to chat with me in the future then you will have to learn to be more respectful and less cynical.

Take care.

I wasn't, and am not, trying to criticize or have a go at you, I just can't see where you are coming from or what has made you feel the way that you do. It just seemed that something must have been inside you and snapped as your comments and behavior just doesn't seem to be rational.
Right, and people calling me an aryan and a twat and other vile names is "rational."

You don't want to know why I'm here, you just want to characterize me in a bad light. Admit that and you'll at least have my respect for being honest.

Adios.

I've read your post (number 9) and yet you still can't see that you are the one being disrespectful here. You've entered a British Expats site with your love it or leave it attitude and you still can't see that this could even remotely be unnecessary or obnoxious to the other posters here. Why should anyone be respectful of you? Am I being hostile? Maybe, but I have opinions (read any of my posts, no number needed.) I respect everyone's right to their opinion, as long as they are not purposely trying to stir the pot. They don't have to agree with me, I'm not an ego chaser.....but you seem to have that problem. Either we agree with you about America being a fantastic country or we are being disrespectful to you. Am I wrong with this analysis of your posts? Probably not too far off the mark. If you don't like what you read here, then again, why are you here?

A bit ironic trying to tell people how they should react to me while you accuse me of being on "some kind of power trip," don't you think krizzy?

Only by you dear.

I've been enjoying myself here for two years.

You're getting pretty boring though.

apparently.
New American citizens that apparently have a problem accepting, and more importantly, respecting another culture. Qualities not well received in any country.

You only see what you want to see, unfortunately. I've tried being friendly to you but to no avail. I've even continued to respond to you after i said I would no longer.

Oh well, I tried.

Are you his spokesperson now?

I've already responded. I'm not concerned if neither of you are satisfied.

Maybe you should get out more often and see the country and get to know your neighbors instead?
