Hello Michiel.

 MV>>> This is the kind of arrogant patronising behaviour that makes
 MV>>> your kind of people so onpopular. You always know what is better
 MV>>> for everyone.

 MV>>> How dare you even suggest  it!

 JS>>      As I said, I suggested it based on *YOUR* behavior.

 MV> So what? Who are you to judge? I do not tell you that *your* kids
 MV> would be better off if they were raised by me do I?

    I have just as much right to form an opinion as you or anyone else
does. Or are you wanting to reserve that right for yourself?

 JS>> I used that as a indication of how I suspected that you had
 JS>> transfered your negative mindset to your children.

 MV> Negative mindset in *your* perception.

    We can play word games as long as you like. The fact of the matter
is that people form an opinion based on how they see YOU act. They then
optionally express that opinion. If you want to improve peoples opinion of you
then change your behavior.


    But as you have stated, you don't care what people think of you. Sorry
that your life has degraded to the point where you no longer care.

 JS>>  I do not claim to better than anyone or any other group of
 JS>> people.

 MV> Yes you do. You just did. You claim my kids would be better of with
 MV> you. That is arrogant, patronising, annoying and insultive.


     Are you really that dense Michiel?? What I said was that I do not
claim to be better or nessesarily worse that anyone else. There are worse
and god knows there are better people than me. Regardless of nationality.

    What I also said was that based on *YOUR* behavior. It was an easy
conclusion that I could probably do a better job.

    You are so hung up on nationality and which is better or worse.  We are
all people Michiel. Regardless of what country we come from. There will
always be good and bad people from every country that you can name.

    I am sorry if I insulted you. Your tunnelvision attitude makes it difficult
for people to know just how direct they need to be with you.

 JS>> But based on what *YOU* have shown me I claim to be able to do a
 JS>> better job than you.

 MV> So you *do* claim superiority.

    I claim that I could do a better job based on what I have seen from you.
Feel free to twist that statement any way that you need to make you feel
better about yourself.


 JS>>      Your Americans are better is getting quite old.

 MV> You constantly claim yo be better. Stop claiming that and I will stop
 MV> being annoyed by it.


     When have I as an American *EVER* claimed that?? If people stopped
saying or doing anything that annoyed you. Noone would be allowed to do
or say anything to you. Which, when you think about it isn't that bad of
a idea sadly to say.


 JS>>  Surely you can come up with something newer than that. Or is
 JS>> that all you have? <sigh>

 MV> And another insult. why is it that you Ameicans always resort to
 MV> insult?


    Deal with me and not what country I may be from. What I said was an
observation. You chose to take it as you do most things as an insult.
Depending on what country they are from of course.

    DON'T LIKE WHAT WE (Any country) SAY, CHANGE WHAT WE SEE.
