Reverse that, and get your silly ass to the
library.

I don't go to the library ever since the Patriot Act was passed.
Too
many
gov't people looking over your shoulder. ;-)



That explains the intensity of your ignorance.

If you really believed what I just said in jest, then it's not *my*
ignorance (or lack of it) that we should be analyzing.



I didn't consider it "jest". I considered it a lame excuse for not having
the slightest clue about how the last 100 years of world history have
affected the Middle East. Rather than replying correctly and saying
"You're
right - I am pretty loose in that area of learning", you've chosen to BE
the
jester.

Fine, I'm the jester. But you haven't a clue as to what I do or don't know
about the history of the Middle East in the last 100 years. As for your
self-righteous assertion that you're more well-informed on the topic because
of *where* you obtain your info...well, it's almost laughable. NPR and your
local library don't teach you anything that isn't available elsewhere if you
look hard enough.

Now that you've changed the subject to: a) Arabs lack of achievment is
because of the West, and b) NOYB's knowledge of the Middle East in the last
100 years, do you care to answer the question?

What positive contributions have the Arab world made to society in the last
100 years?
