Goodness gracious me! I was supposed to do something? Why didn't someone

Please think a bit more before arbitarily saying things like that.

I am neither Japanese nor German.
I also reject the notion that I am or was involved in the Palestinian
confrontation.

You forget that *rules* are important. Rules are good. They allow complex
