Moved to a new topic and thread per Webchickadee's request (see below).

I have no interested in United States politics. And if they are behaving childishly, it would certainly explain the state of the U.S. economy, foreign policy, national social services, healthcare, etc.

I do know however, that this topic has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with either you and I having this insipid conversation, nor you having an ongoing argument about who apologized for what, or who is a jerk.

Let's give the original poster (OP) some respect and stop hijacking their post with unrelated gibberish. That is the point I was trying to make earlier, but it seems to have escaped you.

If you feel the need to continue this "discussion", feel free to message me privately, or start a new thread of your own.

There's no need to disrespect my country in a debate to resolve a personal disagreement.

You asked me, unpolitely, to do something. I, in turn, unpolitely declined. If you want to boss people around, go talk to your husband and kids.

Topic closed. We will not create topics for the sole purpose of arguing/attacking another member. Moving the argument to R&R does not justify doing so.

5. Members will treat each other with courtesy and respect, especially when they disagree. We understand that bright, intelligent and educated people may not always agree, but personal attacks in the form of insults, abusive language or other means of obvious harassment will not be tolerated.

- Do not attack, mock, or otherwise insult others. You can respectfully disagree with the message or topic, but you cannot attack the messenger. This includes attacks against the user’s spelling or command of written English, or belittling a user for posting a duplicate topic.

- If you are attacked by another user, and you reciprocate, you will also be subject to the same consequences. Defending yourself or a friend is not an excuse! Do not take matters into your own hands – instead, use the Report Post link to report an attack and we will be happy to handle the situation for you.
