    No there's nothing to be sorry about, I realise that English is not your native tongue but if you try pasting your "do you think that destroy anothers country can reduce the danger? " post into this box you will see what I mean!

    i do whatz you said, because i can not understand your meanning........


    do you think that destroy anothers country can reduce the danger?
    i fell that this situation are VERRY danger.

    Think, not one of the resource involved vas foreinger:
    No the camp for learning to fly
    No the fly, all domestic
    not the credit card used to pay the ticket
    Only the people involved, and maby not all

    Then how many immigrants have USA?

    The USA economical sistem is liberal, this meanning that anybody can go to a factory and buy someting. Heaven Weapon (gun)

    This is a different tipe of war!!!!!!!

    in Normaly war (old) the industrial power of a country against the industrial power of another country, but new the attackers use the industrial power of the country that they atack, THIS IS REALLY NEW, AND DANGER.

    I WHANT remember you that you are in danger, and the danger come from inside now,.

    remember
    No a forenger fly
    and not one forenger fly scholl.......
    How many people can have entred the usa in the lasts years?

    They have attack not only a simbol, but the USA TRANSPORT SISTEM, THAT IS VITAL for a country big as usa.
    i think this can slow down the industrial production if you can't find a efficent and secure sistem for get the worker to job from a town to another distant manny manny chilometers. The sky is steel closed, this meanning paralisy.

    And how can you control your immigrant in a multietical country like yours?

    I think, now, the war is changed, and the ennemy is not onlyaffganistan.
    And is also denger ( and not right) to criminalize all musly, especial in a free a multietical country like yours, but how can you avoid to train the terrorist, and that hem use yours industrila power??

    I THINK THE JOB NOW MUST TO BE IN CONSCIUS THERM, EAVEIN IN WHATZ YOU DO OUTSIDE USA, BECAUSE AFER WTC THE WORD WAS CHANGED.

    Remember

    No one resource used by the attackers was forengers

    No the fly scholl
    no the car rented
    No the house were they lived
    No the fly

    do you think that destroy anothers country can reduce the danger?

    The majority of high frequency posters are english native speakers, and if we cant understand what someone's asking, then its of no use to anyone.
    At least if people who havent got particularly strong english could spell check their sentences, or grammar check them in Microsoft Word, then it would be of benefit to all concerned.

    No, I think you miss DeFarm's point. Many of the native English speakers have very poor grammar, too.

    Of zeg het in het Nederlands !

    Oh I'm sorry, that was not exactly English, was it ?
    Let people express themselves the way they want to. Most of the native English speakers aren't capable of perfect English anyway.

    The point of the thread was (believe it or not ) constructive.

    I am sure that Congelato was probably raising some good points and had obviously spent a lot of time typing his post.

    However this time was largely wasted as I am sure I am not alone in having to read it a few times to even understand the gist of his argument.

    Guilty as charged, however it's not poor grammer as such, just laziness.

    That, too.

    Though rampant laziness in America has lead to a decay in the ability to delivery quality product.

    I don't mind if someone who knows how to write should stray a little as long as he gets his point across. Regretably he serves as a bad example for someone who thinks too highly of his own abilities.

    English is not my native language, but I usually try to express myself correctly, or at least to get my point across.

    Any site that will automatically translate other languages to english (or to any other language for that matter) will usually do a very poor job. The words will probably be reversed and such.

    But at least here people can start using it more often and maybe in a while their english will be more understandable.

    I guess that would be an example of my point manifesting itself.
