(8,648 posts)to this OP seems to me all out of proportion to what he's actually saying.
"It doesn't seem to occur to SOME OF YOU that method you are choosing to try and make yourself safe, is in fact making your lives more dangerous."
And I honestly don't see where the OP is "deluding himself" into thinking he knows "MORE about a person's country" than anyone else. Besides which, maybe he does. For all you know he or she could have their doctorate in American studies, spend years at a time here, and know far more about America and Americans than most of us do ourselves. Not that it matters much to the point he's making.
And yeah, I know DU gladly accepts posts from beyond the borders of our own blessed republic. You wouldn't know it though from some of the posts on this thread, though.
Like I said: whatever. If you're offended you're offended, and there's nothing I can do to change that.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
