that Americans are cowards, but I can't imagine what it could be. It's sure not very sociable. You realize that 'y'all' includes liberals and conservatives, correct?

Harry may live south of you but I'm betting his Yankee roots keep him grounded in a much more sociable culture.
Actually

southerners are the most gentile, kind, helpful sociable people you could ever meet, much more so than northerners as a whole. I know from experience.

In your experience, are American southerners also cowards as Don is saying?

I don't recall Don saying that. Is that a lie, or could you show where

he did?

"Must be southern boys running those organizations. Y'all sure do panic and then cut and run

easily."

I suppose 'southern' doesn't mean 'southern', and 'panic and cut and run' doesn't imply cowardice.

John H. -- Hope you're having a great day!

YOU said: "also cowards as Don is saying?" That is a lie, Don never said

that. The words "cut and run" can mean any number of things. Instead of

asking Don directly what he meant by that, you just started making

ASSumptions, that then turned into you lying.

I made a mistake responding to you.

You belong on the same pedestal as Don.

Perhaps you'd care to give us the meaning *you* give to the phrase, 'panic and then cut and run'.

That would be interesting, especially as it applies to those folks with whom you had so much
experience.

John H. -- Hope you're having a great day!

It matters not what I think the meaning of the phrase is, I didn't say
it. But, what I don't do is ASSume that it means something, and then
produce a lie based on that ASSumption.

Are you really that much of an idiot?

"Cut and run is a pejorative phrase used in the context of a war or battle meaning cowardly retreat. Thus, stripped of emotional connotation, the phrase simply means withdraw or retire from the conflict at issue. The added pungency of the phrase comes from the partially obscured implication that this withdrawal is a course only undertaken by dishonorable fools whose fear and confusion has overcome their better judgment."

Just for one cite.

We all know you love to argue, and don't mind looking like an embicile while doing so, but c'mon... really?

Can't read what you copied? "thus, stripped of EMOTIONAL CONNOTATION
simply means withdrawal or retreat"...... NOW who looks like an
imbecile?
