Reader comment on item: Londonistan Follies
in response to reader comment: I hate Britain on so many levels, only few can be mentioned
Submitted by Paul Doc (United Kingdom), Jul 19, 2013 at 10:58
I feel that the main antagonism within the world is caused by 2 things Ignorance and Generallisation.
Mr Angelini show a lack of judgement by labeling all "Brits" the same... I suggest that he has some other problem with the UK supporting some US foreign policies.
I myself was against the conflict and as we live in a free society, I protested using my freedom of speech. (something a lot of people around the world do not have the luxury of) .
As for some of the comments " I hate Brits" etc... they are fueled by the generalisatiions of the original statement.
That is like saying "I hate Muslims, I hate Jews, I hate Blacks".....There was another person who said that in the 1930's.... the whole world got together.... Christians, Muslims, Sikhs, jews...etc.. to try to stop this hate happening.... Well done for trying to undermine decent society ...
