America is so self-absorbed, if you're american, can you tell me what Uluru is? The English speaking world is so self-absorbed, can you give the name of one french band? and humanity is self-absorbed, how often is it that we notice creatures other than ourselves?

I see more of them when I am out in the wilderness hiking or backpacking. I do see a few in town every once in while also.

Lol seems rather self absorbed to think you are better then a whole country of people (or at least put on that appearance)

Hmmm am I the only one that sees the irony in that?

No irony, since his point was (by expanding it to all humanity at the end,) that everyone is self-absorbed. The U.S.A. was merely an example.

Once could say that you were self-absorbed for taking the original poster's comment personally.

Now THAT's irony.

No, I cannot say what an Ulu...whatever it is. Why? I really don't give a damn, that's why. Nor does it matter anyway.

But an arguement is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition. Contradiction is just the automatic game-say of anything the other person says.

If the cities of australia are teeming sores, then america has a thousand teeming sores all over, that would probably be the best line of defence america can take, just that there's so much going on over there that people living in it don't have the attention span to notice what is going on in other places of the world
