Then you're talking about Austria, not all of Europe.
- PakG1 13y agoJust because the example that inspired the thought was drawn from Vienna, it does not mean I cannot extrapolate it to across Europe when I look at the beautiful and ageless cities and traditions that exist throughout Europe. And I put the disclaimer first that I am making conjecture only and nothing more.
- Dewie 13y agoYou making a conjecture so to speak on flimsy grounds doesn't stop me from pointing out that it's bullshit. I'm sick and tired of being lumped into one big homogeneous pile because I'm from some part of Europe because of, what? You've read a book or two and noticed that quite a few European cities have an old and really nice-looking architecture? Try harder.
- PakG1 13y agoI'm sorry if I made you upset, but I'm not looking to insult anybody here. It's a civil conversation. If you disagree with what I said, you can say why without getting antagonistic. The fact that I used a weaker word like conjecture instead of something stronger should say a lot about what I really think on the matter. I'm used to constructing comments a bit more carefully for serious opinions if you look at my comment history. :) No harm, no foul, I hope.
