f a portion of your post.
You have a very condescending attitude.

Main Entry: con·de·scend
Pronunciation: \ˌkän-di-ˈsend\
Function: intransitive verb
Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French condescendre, from Late Latin condescendere, from Latin com- + descendere to descend
Date: 14th century
1 a: to descend to a less formal or dignified level : unbend b: to waive the privileges of rank
2: to assume an air of superiority
I restricted my discussion to finances, whereas you broadened your comments to include cultures in general, even accusing me of being unAmerican at points. Show me one thing I said that suggested that I was superior to you.
Do not mistake your inability to maintain a persuasive argument for being condescending on my part. I simply dismissed 99% of what you said as being invalid. At no point did I attack you personally; only that your points were invalid.
You may be a good person, but you were unable to respond with legitimate comments to any of the issues I brought up in response to your posts. If you can't defend your postings, then think clearly about what you're posting.
I made no condescending comments. Instead, I attacked your points head-on. But remember that at no point did I say "Aleta was a bad person" or "I am a better person than Aleta". If you feel this way then I apologize. Show me where I said this and I will fix it.
