And I agree.  But why don't we just drop it?

This little flame on the US has gone on long enough.

If we could just get down... and THINK people, THINK.  I admit, there
are people who are jerks from the US.  And there are people who are jerks
from Europe.  And there are people who are jerks from Australia (I know
of two.  Can you name them in the next 30 seconds?  I'm sure you can.  Heres
a clue.  Not Morkeleb (just so he doesn't think I mean him)).

And people, I am not afraid to admit to you that I can be a very big jerk
at times.  I'm not afraid to tell you that because it is the truth. 

Some of you people (you know who you are) keep coming on like you are so
superiour than the people around you.  But in fact, like it or not, we
all are of the same intelligence in actuallity, and all posess the wonderous
instrument "The Human Mind."  Anyone can learn how to program IRC.  Anyone
can learn how to play the guitar.  Anyone can learn math.  Anyone can be
your friend.  To say it again, but in a bit more depth, I want you all
to remember this.  WE ALL HAVE THE SAME POTENTIAL.  AND THAT POTENTIAL IS
INFINITE.

No, go on IRC.  Be nice.  Learn from each other.  And have a damn nice day.

Ya know, it really is when you think about it.
