I wonder if you resonate at all with my current attitude to (what we might term) Western Civilization?
What do you think?

I completely agree.

And a little more. Of course, this is dark humor, but very much something worthy of George Carlin. From DD Geopolitics — though I wish I'd come up with this myself:

A "civilization" that gave the world McDonald’s is threatening to wipe out the civilization that gave the world algebra.

I don't see that the major issue that I and other members are having, that being the ratio of signal to noise on the forum, is not even mentioned in the poll, which, pardon me for saying so, doesn't even look like a serious poll to me at all.

Thankyou

That, if it hasn't already, should make its way to the great quotes thread
