Actually he was wrong. He asserted that people in other countries don't give a damn. Since I am such a person, and I do give a damn, he is wrong. Simple. Deal with it.

I'm surprised by it. Do you flinch when you see brown people too?? Again, your own choice, subconscious or not, to hold such a prejudice.
'the Americans'?? Once again generalizations. I wonder how this would all come across if you replaced American with 'Black' or 'Muslim'.

Well, you'd only hurt their feelings because they can't believe their friend is so closed minded. I cannot do anything to change your mind. A racist will have a prejudice against a person of a particular color - you have the same prejudice against a nation of people (which I have stated would be insanely pointless to try to generalize due to the vast ranging ideals and origins of people).

Let's look at this. Do you actually believe that the bulk of our wealth held by foreign entities is held by people because they like us?Or that if they don't like us they will give it up? Of course not. It is held by corporations and affluent individuals who understand it to be a good investment right now. Public relations can have a direct impact on certain parts of an economy, but the pure nature and demographics of those that hold stock in foreign countries rules out emotion from being the biggest dictator of who holds treasury bonds,and for how long. This is a different topic anyways.

If you do not come here for post graduate studies, I am sorry. Perhaps you can go to IIT in India and the come here, like the bulk of their graduates, to start vastly successful international comapanies.

I still wish for your speedy enlightenment and hope you will not stay at the ranks of the KKK for too long. You seem far too intelligent for that.

Well Phatmonky, I don't really see the point of engaging in a polemic warfare with someone who is set on distorting my words, I like you too much for that :wink: :biggrin: . As for your compliment on my intelligence, thank you, I only wish you were right :-p .

I am hardly distorting your words. You admitted your own prejudice against a nation of people. Prejudice of any kind is something you create, and thus only you can change.
