particularly if you have a myriad of faiths present. i'd agree.

is the opening poster talking about general joe blows' on the street or the american government?

there are arrogant people wherever you look really. plenty of arrogant aussies who think their shit doesnt stink the same way as americans.

ive met many chinese who think that their culture is superior to others and wouldnth ave it any other way.

it's arrogance coupled with self rightousness in my opinion. Thinking you are superior to another and being able to implement it...

...hang on im getting flashbacks of 1940's Germany.

take those arrogant people away from the sphere of influence and you've got yourself a perfectly normal person.

like cynths' signature says.. "you're either an asshole or you're not"
