===================================
Hello David!

03 Apr 11 09:52, you wrote to me:

 DD>>> What I witness in the media/Internet/talking to US persons in
 DD>>> here.

 RC>> I read it on the Internet, so it must be true.. Hasnt Ward
 RC>> admonished enough people?

 DD> Not "just" the internet.

Then where?

 RC>> Your theory is so fucked up...

 DD> Where do you get your info from? Have you been to all of these
 DD> countries and personally witnessed it?

 DD> Have you ever been outside your home state, the USA?

Which state Drummy, the one I live in now or the one I was born in (not the
same)?

and if I ever traveled internationally, I would not profess that my visit to
whereever makes me an expert on whereever.

 RC>> Foreign powers occupied West Berlin and West Germany, yet West
 RC>> Berlin and West Germany had its own Government, how was that

 DD> And there is no US influence in the running of that country - no US
 DD> military in situ?

Your sub-standard education is showing, I was referring to the Germany
POST-WW2..

The West German govt did not gain any semblance of autonomy until the late
40's.

Point is though they did.. But If I were to assume that your DOB was at least
1945, that example could be the closest thing to US (along with France, UK,
Canada) imperialism that you and the Felten Corporation can prove, within your
alleged lifetimes.

 DD>>> What is this theory US Fidousers seem to have that because one
 DD>>> does not live in the USA then one cannot possibly have any idea
 DD>>> what it is like there.

 RC>> Because there is some truth to that, and in fact I have been told
 RC>> the same thing by Euro-Fidonetters about their nations.

 DD> But nothing I have been told bu US persons is true? Are you all liars?

What have you been told, please provide context, and do get it right when you
do???

 RC>> For example, Van Der Vlist and Felten have expressed perfect
 RC>> comfort in paying out of every orifice, taxes.. I on the
 RC>> otherhand cannot understand such a mentality, they on the same
 RC>> token are incapable of understanding our discomfort with the
 RC>> taxaholics..

 DD> That's because you have been brainwashed by a slefish "me" society
 DD> that doesn't appear to give a fuck about anyone else. The Europeans
 DD> and in particular the Australians and more for a fair go for everyone.

No, we are a society that through necessity, everyone had to **WORK** hard to
farm the land and make industry go..

I imagine that OZ was like that in its formative years.

*YOUR* way punishes those that can do for themselves and rewards those who
refuse to.

 RC>> I can criticize Sweden all that I want, but my view of it is from
 RC>> the outside looking in and that is not the best vantage point.

 DD> Then go there. They (Bjorn/Ward) have visited USA.

But neither can claim the experience and responsibility of citizenship.

 RC>> Of all of you, Robert Bashe has the most experience, though
 RC>> dated, then Ward, who might have the best grasp over you and the
 RC>> rest of his consortium.

 DD> Bullshit, Bob is a senile old bugger who still kowtows to the Texan
 DD> brainwashing he recived in his youth.

and you are not brainwashed by your society?

 RC>> Being a tourista doesnt enable you with the experiences that a
 RC>> citizen of any given country possesses..

 DD> It beats living in USA and only witness to cencored media.

Your media is far more censored and subject to same than ours... Remember, you
are brainwashed.

 RC>> As well traveled as Ward is over here, he does not possess the
 RC>> citizenship thing, despite knowing his way around, without the
 RC>> citizenship thing, he has not the worries and concerns that a
 RC>> citizen would have.

 DD> What a load of shit! I am not a citizen of this country and I have
 DD> just the same worrries as any AUstralian.

You are a resident, your example is both unique and irrelevant.
