Senor,
Que tal!

There are things that are not true or are being misrepresented in your post and I do not want to spend time arguing about that.

...this is always your response...and the response of all of you...when there are things you don't like to respond to...you cop out. Is it any wonder then that there are so many groups and sects and churches and political parties...each of them refusing to discuss or consider or compromise with what they don't agree with..or "like"? Like I said, you set the tone AND the example for all the rest of them to follow...how can you expect people to unify when they see you refusing to discuss what YOU don't want to? How can you blame anyone else when you yourself are guilty of the same evasive behavior?

No wonder everyone simply goes off and makes their OWN political party..or church...or social club...each and every one of them insisting that they will ONLY deal with those who share their views.

Mas importante, I disagree with the manner you present things, if presenting issues were your objective, as you claim.

...I disagree with everything you stand for...but I can STILL discuss issues with you and not slander your children or tell you to go drink beer.

I asked very simple questions...such as: where have you seen ONE example of any indigenous people getting anything back? Doesn't the very fact that the Bush administration all but handed Nineveh over to the Kurds..who you emphatically state are NOT indigenous to that region, prove my point? What is contained in this simple observation that makes you want to dodge the issue? Does your mind NOT recognize this as an interesting predicament? Why all the funny Spanish words...why all the evasion...why not stick to the point?

Yes, this world is tough, still, one does not have to be rude, abrasive, obnoxious, and abusive when making a point.

...there was none of that in the last three posts I posted...certainly nothing more so than we can see in many of your posts...why this INSISTENCE that people must be polite?

...I told you I don't care for your respect or that of any other Assyrian..what I DO care about is that I win the respect of NON-Assyrians...as you would all wish to do in the Congress of the United States...and as I did whenever and wherever I presented my work to NON-Assyrians...and oddly enough, the ONLY people who disrespected the Assyrian monuments were OTHER Assyrians..not a Turk, Kurd, Arab or European said a SINGLE derogatory word...not one.

We need OTHER people to respect us...because for one thing the standard of excellence would be MUCH higher..and that would force us all to grow up and do our BEST. Of course your ten cousins are going to like your work and "respect" you...but what good is that going to do you and us on the OUTSIDE...where we don't control our destiny.

There are many examples out there of people who changed things in this rough world with their gentle demeanor and you know that and I do not need to give you examples.

...and there are many many more who did it in other ways...you can be as nice as you want, if the rest of your act isn't together...it won't be enough...I have said nothing disrespectful to you in these posts...why do you keep bringing past things up? I could remain upset with you for your comments about my children...but the issues are more important than hurt feelings...we aren't children.

While you do not care about what people think and say, I do because I am part of the Assyrian community and this community is my little world.

...well, then it's good to know that. I mistook you for a serious adult who is eager to get OUTSIDE his little world...my mistake.

Un noticia para ti, and I know that you do not care, change the way you approach things and you will be surprised about the reaction that you will receive.

...I can hardly take advice from someone content to live in a little world...any advice you have to give me would make me fit for nothing more than a "little world"...I have no interest in being little.

no mas respuesta,
adios,
Fred

...it seems to me you are under the impression that I required a response from you...now or ever. I suppose that's natural enough...but you are mistaken. I merely respond to you for the sake of OTHER'S...if you choose to respond...it's your business. In a democracy you can ignore anything you wish...no one is FORCING you to read or respond...it seems to me you are worried about words or thoughts about you that you cannot control. I will continue to respond to your posts...let's see if you can leave them alone.
