My Idea = Add 'banishment' to prison sentences.

Like I said earlier in this thread Bruce, whatever you say. Just remember, people in glass houses are better off not throwing stones, and if you find my comments in some way offensive, then you're no better than I am after some of the things you've said to me.

As to being all aflutter as you put it, if you need to put things that way then go for it, but as far as I can see, I've addressed the issue without resorting to personal attacks, which is more than I can say for some people on this site.

No, it's people in glass houses should always wash their hands before leaving the bathroom.

I don't remember attacking you or Australia. Can't think of any reason to attack Australia...ever. If I attacked you, it was certainly without malice, possibly responding in kind. But that said......Don't take it personal, don't make it personal. I still believe that. If you or anyone for that matter, feels I'm violating that, call me on it. I may or may not agree, but if not, I'll explain why.

I didn't say you were making personal pokes at me, if you had, I'd have been all over your ass. I was referring to pokes at the USA or it's general population, over and above discussing the topic at hand. There are plenty of opportunities to justifiably criticize, without that. It gets tedious.
I wouldn't interfere with your right to say anything you want, just promising to respond in kind. I think that's fair.

Nobody asked, but let me make something clear. In my opinion, a moderator here removes spam and tries to keep the board reasonably straight, throws out the empty bottles, picks up the trash and gets to empty the litter pan. Not to censor posts. Anything I post is a personal position, not an official one. Nobody is going to be cast out for disagreeing with me. I feel I can hold my own without resorting to claiming diplomatic immunity. Clear? OK, bring it on. :p
