Yes, Dos, you are right about my name calling. I stooped to his level indeed. Heres a man, Mr. me from now on, that is considering cutting and running from his ESL job because he did not open any dialog with his school. I wonder about this guys integrity.

You are right about an educated discussion. Indeed, Mr. me states that I need to study history, since I made a comparison to Hitler. I did say that Hitler was worse. But, here is why Im making a comparison:

1. Harassment of Arab-Americans by the FBI
2. Forced imprisonment of about 200 US CITIZENS without due process of law.
3. Held in prison with NO legal council for up to a year.
4. Invasion of privacy at the whim of the FBI WITHOUT a court order
5. Religious intolerance and faith-based programs.
6. Less scientific research if it doesnt pass the Christian Rights ideology test
7. More dangerous posturing of the US military
8. More weapons of mass destruction..ie, nuclear bunker busters
9. An unprovoked attack on a country with the surreptitious idea to take over its resources
10. Giving speeches that have no substantive value but emotive since it evokes God and the fear of terrorism in about over other sentence: mere theatrics actually.
11. Forcing prayer in public schools.

The list goes on and I dont have time. But, as you can see, the comparison can be drawn to the less heinous side of Hitler, albeit still bad.

The fact that people like Beatrix can hand wave over those poor peoples death from the confines of her comfortable chair is beyond me. Its these armchair world-do-gooders that are the scariest. They have neither seen death nor understand the horrors of governments. To them, everything is sanitized by their own reason and the help of the government and religion. Indeed, its real brave to talk about collateral damage from the confines of your home or even from 30,000 feet in a bomber. However, on the ground its a different story.

Sadly, not enough people think in this world. They just have knee jerk reactions or act entirely on emotion. They may spend two minutes analyzing the facts but lean to emotion.

Dos, you obviously have a bit more intelligence than most ESL teachers. Thats probably because of your background. Ive found that there seems to be a lot of rubbish teaching English out there.

Its really hard to tell if its the school thats bad or the teacher, since Ive met some real base people in this field. Some teachers probably couldnt do better than McDs. I met one guy from South Carolina that was a billboard painter and he told me that he was teaching to look for a wife. His accent and grammar were pitiful.

Sadly, only you and TAO are great writers and interesting on this board. In fact thats why I like to stay here. But, those others that cant articulate more than a sentence or two, and sometimes grammatically incorrect, are not capable of intellectual thought or discussion.

So I will close by saying, Im sorry for the baseless insults, but I was tired of Mr. me and his dribble. For Beatrix, I invite an intellectual discussion.
