HYPOCRITE !!!
Above you write that human beings should be judged only by their individual
character yet above you say 'in this country we do this and in this country
we do that.'  Practice what you preach and don't collectively judge and condem
everyone in the U.S.  Or doesn't your moral code apply to America? 

University education:  Oxymoron perhaps?
Net intelligence:      Oxymoron for sure?
 
Gee, talk about your collective badmouthing.  Sorry, but I just couldn't resist.
