[QUOTE]You seem intent on blaming America for every problem in the world. After living here for several years it is clear to me that your opinion of Americans is severely scewded. [/QUOTE]
It is clear to ME that you cannot read; I blame your GOVERNMENT, not your people. Are you too daft or just UNWILLING to see that?[/QUOTE]
You also criticize the people of the United States on several occasions. You seem to dismiss all Republicans while you have a very weak view of the diverse populations which support that party. You judge political supporters by foreign policy alone, as if that were the most important and sole issue of any campaign.
I'm not saying you don't hold the government accountable, but you also treat supporters of said government as idiots - even the ones who have no opinion on foreign policy, or whose views are not influenced in the least bit by religion.

If you'd have read my post right before that one, you'd have seen I responded to that one. Not to good at reading?[/QUOTE]
And where exactly is your reply to Zeni's post where she said that she is "qualified to teach a university course on post-Meiji Japan"?

It's not there; it's not a remark that I can do anything with. She states that, I have a scholar of Japanese on my side; sounds like a draw to me.

So you did not reply to it then. Perhaps you should try improving your own reading skills.

As stated, I had a reason not to reply to it. It's not that difficult to differentiate between the two.

It is not a "draw." Contrary to what Garfield might say, we do not learn by osmosis.
It's more the fact that Thomas has no way to respond to Zeni so he is just going to basically ignore her post.

There is a major difference between TYPO and GRAMMAR. Also, in this context, the error would've been in SPELLING and not GRAMMAR. The two words being of the same word-class, the inconsistency is in spelling/meaning, not grammar.
Having said that, it is rather pathetic to go after a single typo. Accuse me of anything you like, but even I don't do that in any case.
