Thanks. I’m glad you can discuss these issues that involve the rapid and violent upheaval of people’s lives with apathetic disinterest. Boy do I feel stupid for caring more than you, eh?
Listen, you’re obviously a yank and very concerned about what’s going on in your country. I sympathise and disagree with what is happening. However, for you to insinuate that I need to spend my waking hours worrying about immigration and economic problems of a foreign nation - is downright fucking stupid. I made a comment which reflected my thoughts at the time, we discussed it, you made some good points and I explained my thought in a clearer sense. I don’t care to discuss it further, you can have whatever opinion you want.
Again, good luck to you and good bye.
