I said commitTED, past tense.

None of us said that.

None of us said that, either.

No one is complaining about everything.

Some of us are nice and some aren't, just like anywhere in the world. That's not what matters.

You're not making fair arguments. Do you know the expression straw man? A straw man is an argument invented solely for the purpose of having something easy to knock down. It's easy to argue with someone who says that every other country is better than America. But no one has said that. You're inventing positions that no one holds.

That is, you're creating straw men - easy to knock down but not responding to what anyone is actually talking about.
