We have a huge disconnect, that is for sure.

There was one silly response yesterday to the marine corporal's letter published yesterday, and then there was this:

Tell me why is there so much hate in the US if abortion isn't possible in many states if not all, when same sex marriage isn't allowed? Why is it that Europe is overwhelmed with internet spam from the USA? From my (European) point of view fundamentalistic christian fanatics in the USA are as wrong as the fundamentalistic islamic fanatics in Europe. They use the same methods of terror and killing.Your country doesn't support the war on terror, which is a euphemism of a silent war on all continents, but started it. So bear the consequenses and end it.

Anonymous, I wish I could understand just what you are trying to say! What does hate have to do with abortion? There are fanatics in this world, and they can, and obviously do, attach to every issue out there. But what does hate have to do with the issue of abortion?

I don't know, why is Europe overwhelmed with spam from the USA? I wish Europeans would do something about it. We sure are. It's a technological thing, you see. The internet. Wide open -- knows no boundaries...

Europeans, I am given to understand, are no longer as religious as they once were, for better or worse. I know, from personal experience, that animus directed at church goers oft-times will fester and grow in non-church goers. Could you please direct this writer to any recent news stories concerning "fundamentalistic christian fanatics"? When that is done, please serve up any recent stories concerning "fundamentalistic christian fanatics" who "use the same methods of terror and killing" as the islamofascists?

I do not believe you said what you really wanted to say. If you can go so far as to make the last statement you did, I would suspect your sentiments lie with those who would bomb trains and behead innocent men and shoot innocent women in front of a cheap, hand-held digicam.

NOTE: Blogspot gives the option of preventing anonymous posters. Hard decision, because there are some regular posters here who still post under 'anonymous', and I do not want you gone. So, I suppose we shall have to grin and bear... and REDACT the particularly onerous deposits sometimes left here from time to time, of which the above is not an example.
