I’ve stopped reading your post about here... I didn’t realize your post was a joke. Anyway, I am not perfect in understand some “jokes” in English and this one flew past me.

However, on your “this a just a toy” sentence, I agree. But it doesn’t mean we have to screw everything we do about LEGO just because it’s not as important as, say, a decent health-care system. I’m taking my hobby seriously, I expect people to respect that. Not necessarily take it seriously as I do, but at least not screw it up for me.

That is called respect.

BTW, by saying I am not american, I didn’t mean that in an insulting way. Sorry if you are hurt by people that are proud of their non-american nationality.
