What about the interned German Americans and Italian Americans who were interned? How come you missed them in your article?

Marianne:
1. I have blogging freedom with no deadline.
2. This article was almost 900 words, not 500.
3. The facts I worked with are cited in parentheses, the facts not cited but referenced are what’s called common knowledge. It’s assumed the general public knows them so no citation is needed. Unless you are uncommonly ignorant they should be familiar to you.
4. Let me know what fact I cite which is incorrect or inaccurate in any way?
I’ve written a lot of other articles, here are the links to a few you may like; they include lots of fun facts: http://sundial.csun.edu/2009/06/24/the-palestinians-indigenous-crybabies/

Oh, and before anyone gives me crap about using prepositions, I did that on purpose to make a point. Let’s see if Marianne figures it out.

Marianne,

First of all TURN OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK KEY. Now that we have that out of the way, I think you should probably think a little bit before you criticize the way somebody writes when you clearly can barely construct a coherent sentence yourself, much less without screaming at us all (since caps lock usually indicates this in text). Also, you can’t end sentences with a preposition. I’ll let you figure that one out.

P.S. This is a blog, which usually entails more opinionated content, however, I don’t see how the author is lacking facts. Maybe you should reread this article and do a little research yourself next time.

yeah i agree with Pat. Marianne, your criticism is also very very easily writable, and LAZY, ultimately irrefutable because it doesnt have any facts in it either. How abt u write another piece to let us judge?

Nice constructive criticism. I’m sure you can write a much better article to show Joseph how it’s done. I’m sorry all the black guys stole your job at the WalMart. Since I know you’re really a reasonable human being, and not trying to deliberately ratchet this up, we’ll take up a collection to get you a keyboard with a working caps-lock key so you can write that rebuttal without continuously shouting.

THIS IS AN EASILY WRITABLE ARTICLE BY A PINHEAD WHO HAS A DEADLINE FOR HIS 500 WORDS. AND WHO HAS NO FACTS TO WORK WITH.
