Yes you have, and now you have added belligerence to the mix, and to be the rather blunt person that I am, I know you don't care, but I am going to say it. I barely tolerated you and your chip on your shoulder back a few years ago, but over time you have got worse and the 2 interactions that we have had since I came back have only shown you to have a belligerent personality....NOT an opinionated personality.
I quoted from another source and you go all hostile at me for trying to research...a rational and opinionated person would have been a little calmer and tried to correct in a polite discussion...but not you...you jumped down both [MENTION=23908]Shawn[/MENTION] and my throat with a hostile display of irrational whatever you want to call it.
I highly doubt "your people'' are all as hostile and intolerant of people who make mistakes as you are.
That's all well and good daddy, I'm not offended, however;
What did offend me, is that I am right here.
How can a Google search or your or [MENTION=23908]Shawn[/MENTION] 's opinion, trump me and my knowledge of my own country?
Would you calmly allow persons to blasphemize your country as nothing but a country of exiled British Bandits, who pushed back the Aboriginal peoples?
Cause that what a Google search would show ya know, and regardless of the facts of history, I'm sure that's not the totality of you or your people.
I may be belligerent, which is perfectly fine, but I'm not false nor have I ever been, so if you didn't like me then, or if you and Shawn don't now, I cannot nor will not attempt to sway your opinion of me, but just understand:
I've always been me. I never pretended to like nor tolerate someone, like you clearly have and only seek to live my life my way, and unfortunately, if that hurts people along the way, upon whom I cannot mend, is sadly a case I cannot carry as baggage.
Before joining this site and few others, I knew nothing of the "Outside world", and even to this day I'm learning about you all and your frankly strange habits and ways of thinking and living and cultures;
And that was and still is my sole purpose for being here.
So forgive me, that the same respect and courtesy was not shown to me in this (and numerous previous) regard. That you'd rather not ask the person who would know best, and instead defer to bullshit on the internet.
And yes. My people are very prideful and just as equally loving people. If you interpreted hostility from me, you've clearly a lot to learn of the world and it's many peoples and cultures and forms of expression.
Do now as you will.
