ADDENDUM

Before you reply to this post, I invite you to read the addendum at the bottom.

No, that's *your* opinion of what he has said.

Quote:
No it is fact. Mikey is actually a versatile fella. He has been quoted as saying that America is both a liberal country, and a conservative one, depending on what he is trying to say.
You don't perhaps think that it could just maybe be *both*?

Also please remember that "conservative" and "liberal" are merely *opinions*. They are not graven in stone anywhere.

*I* have never said "Why can't that bank offer something other than guns?"

Please don't make unwarranted assumptions about what I may or may not do. They don't help your arguments and could be considered "uncivil" or "disrespectful" for instance.

There is nothing wrong with criticizing your own country or citizens of course, but he is a bit strong,

Yeah they aren't lies.
I'm pleased to note that you appear to have stepped back from your initial positions and revised some of your views.

I'm not going to re-write this and my subsequent post now because I don't have time, but you may want to reconsider any responses to them.
