You think I mean the sort of bitching and whining that occurs in online fora such as this one? Don't make me laugh.
I'll also add - you assume that I was only referring to or considering America - a little of that America-centric thinking going on there?
Again with the
compare and contrast - this
isn't a junior school term paper.
Your thinking appears very linear, constrained by what you
think you see in front of you and it seems, a naive belief that cause and effect apply,
Newtonian fashion when applied in the socio-political arena.
Now for an analogy of the way you and I seem to consider this issue; a
comparison of apples and oranges may lead one person (
me in this example) to the conclusion while they appear quite different, on closer inspection they are in fact both fruit, and have many characteristics in common. Another (
you in this example) may conclude that they are in fact totally dissimilar merely by virtue of having a different outward appearance and look no deeper, dismissing the process with "
no comparison".
Finally - you just
did compare (and contrast), so can you not see your
final comment is somewhat nonsensical. I don't think this conversation is going anywhere as we're clearly considering this on two very different levels, but thanks for the time.
