I must say, Kiefboy, you're a persuasive person. And you can be very articulate and persuasive, which is impressive. Yes, I know we Texans have a lot of pride in our state. That much is very true. And as for the other stuff, I'm going to give it some pondering time. I know you're not the only one who believes what you do about France.

I often have found myself believing you have a future in law and/or politics, Kiefboy. Do either of those areas interest you? I think you have an aptitude.

I know much of the rest of the world believes us to be aggressive, arrogant war-mongers. But among this stoner community, I think people are more tolerant of us. I liked the way you responded, and your ability to do so diplomatically has encouraged me to leave this thread open a while longer to see what plays out. (Also, I feel sorta under the weather tonight and mostly just want to go to bed.)
