Andy comments:
I have been on alt.sixtyplus on and off for years. It is heavily
populated
by Brits and ex-Brits who live in Australia, and they like to "stick
it" to
Americans as much as they can. Currently they are going bonkers
about some conspiracy theory of theirs that I have two identities.
A number of Americans also post there, and there is a big
difference
in the politeness of the posts from them and those from the British
contingency. I think it is probably a cultural thing.
Anyway, it is a hoot.
On a similar subject, have any of you noticed that "GLOBALIST"
seems
to have done a 180 on it's agenda. Before it was anti-white, pro-
Obama,...
.... and now the postings seems to be the other way around.... If
makes
me wonder if the original "GLOBALIST" has been replace by a
different one. No conspiracy theory, and I'm not
complaining, ....just
noting a difference in the agenda.
