" if you think that your particular country is favoured by God there's a fair chance that you're either mistaken or you're being deceived. "

Where did that come up in the conversation? Perhaps you have a perception that we are running around saying that "God is on our side", but you are mistaken. Whatever media YOU are listening to is feeding you crap.

Let's all sit around and whine some more and nothing will get fixed. There are so many shithouse lawyers in this forum, most from other countries, but I can not see ANYONE here doing ANYTHING to make the world or their own country a better place. Think globably and act localy - what the are you doing?   There is a great collection of people here who enjoy the fine art of complaining and pontificating, but spend most of their time sitting on their ass.   You are part of the problem.
