This concludes the discussion on my part. If arguing turns you on, go nuts. I won't reply.

The only thing you pointed out is your incapability to understand the world, nothing else, nothing more.

Ah yeah, arguing turns me on so much that I was the one who de-escalated a discussion ignited by a .gif, where you blew up and started attacking me personally because I dared joke about how you had worded something.

How about you start ignoring me altogether? I already asked this of you way back, you ignored it. It's not hard to do, really.

I recognize that the more developed portions of Europe (Great Britain, France, BeNeLux and Scandinavia) have a much better record of civility, but the fact remains that, when measured in numbers, the European Continent has a far bloodier history than the New World -- and it's the collectivist mentality, and the search for scapegoats, that is entirely responsible for this:

On the American "Propensity for Violence"

And while both sides of America's current polarization are prone to this threat. it is the "progressive" Democratic establishment with currently seeks to consolidate its power, and has the means and strategy to do so. The "Trumpsters" are little more than a comic sideshow.

What a silly! Most people from Europe really did care so much about Madrid train bombings! In fact, the European parliament proposed 11 March as the European Day of Remembrance of Victims of Terrorism!
The former presidents from both Portugal and France also joined the main demonstration in Madrid back on 12th March 2004!
