Patriotism, nationalism, chauvinism
..
How RJF and his probable psychiatric
problems got into this thread
is beyond me.
IMO, the Fischer case is related to the title of this thread. Examine the
reactions of a typical American poster here and you will invariably find a
blinding pro-Fischer bias which has its roots firmly planted in one (or more)
of those three terms.
(Of course, beside the patriots, nationalists
and chauvinists there are also plain idiots
like "anti-zionists", who tend to be prejudiced
mainly due to their cretinism
Hmm -- if dullards are going to resort to puerrile name-calling, why not get
in three cheap shots instead of only one? Anti-zionists are then: idiots,
prejudiced, and cretinous, which clearly explains why they don't always agree
with the opinions of the sharp-witted,
triple-barrelled namecallers, like Wlod.
My point was to treat words with a due care,
to make a clear distinction between
"Due care" would seem to rule out the use of puerrile namecalling, IMO -- you
moron. :-)
