Coming from the US is not an insult to me, but it is irrelevant to the conversation. Just because I am from the United States must mean that I am opinionated on the issue? No...

What you do is make a broad statement. Latvia is almost like Nazi Germany or something along that line. Then when someone refutes it, all you are doing is shooting down their claim with no facts, but stupid little ploys like attacking one's grammar. Very lame.
