: Just a quick note: I did not think you were slagging (?!) my nationality...even though as a Jew with 4 grandparents from Russia, it's hard to say what my nationality is, though I know what my domicile is.

Oh right, your not a Zionist are you?

: On the other hand, slag away! I spend half my time on this stupid computer attacking my fellow Americans for their sinful ways!

I dont really like to slag (that is insult) nations, it's a bit indiscriminate, individuals like the Christian Right or Classes like the capitalist elites are more specific deserving targets.

: BTW, I have a soft spot for the Irish, seeing as my wife is born of Irish immigrants. Also, I love your brogue, laddy.

I dont know if I have a brogue, us northerners sound a bit like lapsed scots, so I've been told, it changes a bit the closer you get to the border, I like Dublin and Cork accents myself (or maybe that's just because I like Dublin or Cork girls). Where are you from I know the US is a sort of big place.
