Hi,
You can lead a jackass to water, but you can't make him think.
Jester has taken the time to carefully review the pile of puke you so proudly exhibit as your best work. Instead of being grateful to him for his efforts, you attack him personally. Your attack is not only unjustified, it is laughably wrong. Jester is not an American (if by that you mean a citizen of the USA), he is not even particularly supportive of many of the positions and institutions of the USA. Indeed, on the Smith-Marx scale, I suspect he's closer to you than to me.
Nowhere in his reply to you does Jester challenge your viewpoint. What he does challenge is the methods you use in presenting it. I suspect that had you been proposing exactly what Jester believes in, he would have faulted you in the same way.
Your reply to him, when we finally get passed the unfounded accusation, we find more of the illogical, poorly formulated nonsense that you seem so found of spouting. "... this isn't an argumentative paper, but more like an analytical paper" -- fine, but as Jester points out, you don't do any analysis. All you do is throw around pompous, unsupported statements.
Jester points out your incoherent exposition of history. You reply with something even more incoherent. England's control of the colonies terrorism? Please.
As to the rest of your reply, it's like a cat trying to cover a mess on a tile floor. Lots of scratching, but the stink is still there.
Indeed, all you have done is to further exhibit your lack of knowledge, critical thinking skills, and writing ability.
