No Ousman, I have no problem with people having their own views, and in
letting me express mine. That is what I have been doing, expressing my  views
and countering the points you bring as justification for your position with
facts that you want to conveniently ignore.
All you need to do is to articulate your points in an intelligent manner, and
that is not the same as telling me

 "keep repeating your damn nonsenses. It's becoming a hopeless waste of
time responding to your asinine comments"

It seems that you think using profanity will do what your arguments have not
accomplished, force me into silence. I think you already know that will never
happen. So present facts to back up your position and leave the profanity
aside, because it certainly leads one to believe that you think belligerance,
as opposed to facts is the way to win a debate.
By the way, I am not looking for any nods from anyone on the position I have
taken on this. I follow only my conscience and will do so even if no one else
had the same views on the matter. Apparently, those on the list who hold the
same views share that in common with not only myself, but a large group of
people around the World. That is something that senseless belligerance will
not cause to dissappear.
