Actually, I've never met Pettifogger nor the folks he's encountered, so I won't critque his anecdote. Are you one of the geographically-challenged warmongers referred to in the OP who was stung by my statement?


No, I can point out Ukraine on a map. And I'm not in favor of intervention there at all.

But you were the person in this thread who used the word "jingoistic", which I find to be pretty hyperbolic and pejorative when used. And I was merely agreeing with his assessment of those who use it.

You've got one poster in this thread alone who bears out that contention.



Admittedly, it was a convoluted way to call someone stupid.

I think people have been confused since it split off of Senegal.

I read an article this morning (sorry will try to find link), about how the media in the US doesn't report as much on international affairs as other some other developed countries. People just aren't exposed to other countries as much, and only a percentage of the population bothers to educate themselves.

I think that may have a lot to do with it.


You know... other than piss poor education.
