I've had enough!

The subject of blocking has come up a few times lately (I brought it up myself on one occasion). What I mean is this....there are some people on here that, despite that person being a complete numpty, you give chance after chance to them, but despite that, you just get so fed up with their negativity or their refusal to consider an opposing view, you end up thinking "That's it! I can't stick you any further!" then you block them. I did that with one member yesterday. I get how some people are genuinely patriotic (I'm not), but when it comes to "My country first and all" at the expense of everyone else, I don't want to know.

I'm not a big believer in patriotism either, I know that nationalism of one kind or the other was a big contributing factor in the holocaust and many genoocides of the 20th century and so I find it alarming.

Military cementaries around the world are filled with the bodies of soldiers who thought god was on their side.

Thus my allegiance is to the world, not my country.

I always find it odd how people who like to say "we saved the french" conveniently have huge gaps in their knowledge of the American Revolution.
