Try that here.

Reasonable for the Danes.  They are not trying to be the world’s policeman.  They can afford to be helpful to their own people.

But I was more interested in getting something from Classic other than reporting on his own ignorance and bias.  Stopping welfare abuse is not one of my big issues.  It is just rather than announcing what is wrong, how would he go about fixing it?  After decades of trying to cut domestic spending, I would have thought that angle would have been pursued by the reds about as far as it could go.

Ignorance and bias? You should be more careful about who you are insulting and do a better job listening to your own preaching about not doing it a lot. So, what did you say to me about knowing a hypocrite when you see one? I guess you don't know yourself or know what you say or how you act because you are one that's for sure. You are a bigot too. I'll point it out to you when I see it. You're probably a closet racist. I wouldn't be surprised if you aren't everything you're accusing me of on a daily basis. You seem like the type who would call me something bad to save your ass. So, does this wake you up or do I need to go to more extreme measures?
