That twin towers pic is freaking hilarious... and I am an american...
EDIT
I don't look at a forum thread like this one as something negative.. We had a nice discussion, exchanged some Ideas.. and while it is true that few people change their mind during a discussion out of pride, that doesn't mean that readers don't change thier mind, and that people don't change their mind in retrospect... In the past I have.
This remained pretty together and wasn't all that flamey. It was actually a mostly intelligent internet discussion. They are so rare.
Especially about these topics.
It is this kind of open and raw, yet intelligent and respectful argument that is missing from out current system... Everyone gets so heated, and especially the republicans are pressured to not change their minds about things. It is viewed as a weakness. Flipfloping.
It really is sad.
