Sorry, I dont see the relevance. Like sorry, I dont care.

From what I see such disprespect is pretty hateful in itself. This constant sticking two-fingers up at our beliefs and way of life, whilst at the same time enjoying all the benefits of it. Why are you so surprised at the result?

Thats a problem with the media you read, if I only received my news updates from 'I hate ponies magazine', I'd probably feel as if they were a larger issue that they are, and would probably make sweeping generalisations about them all.

True, and most do. But you dont pay attention to the millions when theres a few that do not do this. Which is odd. You should work on this.

Bit hard to believe you dont at least think there are some unreasonable people of the west after this rant.

None of this is really relevant to the point I was making, its odd that you would quote me in it.
