Einstein on americans

i was unsure, yesterday, if einstein was faculty at princeton or some other school. so i googled and read the whole of the link above. yes i have an opinion on the subject. having known americans, i fully agree with einstien (which made me post his obervations). refugees like you are polluting the land of americans (that i love). sad. loser-refugee brags about running a kay kay tee consultancy firm that posted the highest gross revenue of $0.000001 in 2001 and lies at 4 am about achievements of estranged kids, one of whom is a college drop-out. chiiii.

a large part of your second post is irrelevant and nonsensical, and sounds like the rantings of a madman.

all you had done in your original post was to copy and paste something you found on the internet; you had not expressed any opinion, nor had you added anything of value to the info in the quote. you might as well be a random-quote robot.

to add to the fluff that you bring to this forum, you then routinely steal expressions from me and possibly others, displaying a complete lack of originality and imagination, not to mention a vacuous mind.

secure in the foolish belief that the opinions of a man as famous as einstein must be valid, you assert, "I completely agree with einstein." let me tell you again, clueless person, it requires no courage or thoughtfulness to "agree completely" with einstein.

indeed, in the light of his being given a safe haven in the midst of the second world war, in a land that's far from the persecution he would have experienced, a stateless jewish man's fulsome praise of america should be heavily discounted.

moreover, einstein's statement about america's optimism, in my opinion, is plain wrong. optimism? you only need to read american authors' morbid literature over the years, to understand how wrong albert was.

>>  Americans do tend to be more optimistic than citizens of other western nations. I was searching for Tocqueville's views on America and I came across this: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/03/the-american-ethic-and-the-spirit-of-optimism/388538/.  I just glanced through it and will probably ready it later today. Looks like it will be a good read.

"struck out," not "striked out."

your use of "sic" is probably wrong; look it up. google and the dictionaries work.
