Poland - never again [593]
While still on the subject of the thread title, I would like to comment about some of the posters who just hate my guts. Which, btw, I don't give a rat's a** about.
I don't know if this is a Polish trait or just arrested mental developement, calling another person names is infantile and sophomoric. Notice that I didn't include offensive. Over the years, I developed a total immunity to such transgressions, so any attempt to offend me is a waste of time and the forum space.
Since some posters here resort to this method of debating, for their benefit, I would like to suggest that calling somebody a derogatory name is not cool, but still passable as we got used to it while debating liberals. They do it always when they lack fact-based arguments. Hence, racist, xenophobe or islamophobe.
The lowest form of forum life is a person who uses a self-admitted and immutable personal characteristic like age as a weapon. For the reasons which are my own, I admitted that I graduated in 1966. Anyone can do the math and figure out that I am 76 now. I didn't have to disclose it but I did. To use this fact in constructing an insult is beneath contempt.
I remember when kids used to call me "four eyes" because I had glasses. Some of you here are still stuck in the menatlity of the 4th grade. Make your parents proud and grow up.
Never again.
