I don't know what the IDA is. Which international research journals has
he published in?

I know you can't sing any song - but, no it isn't. This is what he was
saying.

Your problem is you don't understand that somebody can extrapolate from
what you write. People aren't allowed to do anything with the holy word
of Gregory other than read it and shut up. If you demonstrate a
particular mindset in your postings people can ask if you carry that
same mindset into other walks of life. Perhaps if your mouth wasn't so
big and so much unpleasantness didn't come out of it people wouldn't
keep putting stuff there?  :)

Heh - you really have a problem with Britain don't you Gregory. Did
somebody with an English accent pick on you when you were a child? For
what it's worth I have an American passport...
