First off, there are PLENTY of kids who are AMERICAN, but emmigrated to this country from, say, UZBEKISTAN at a young age, who are now American citizens, who MAY hold the title of WCC. BUT THAT DOES NOT COUNT.
Why doesn't it count, you ask? I'll tell ya. The point I am trying to make is that our culture, MY culture, instills at a young age, all of the negative things I mentioned in my post. Perhaps someday an "American" like Gata Kamsky, an ELITE player ranked 2725, may become the WCC. But if you do your research, AS I DO, you'll see that he was born and raised in Russia, coming to the USA at 15 years of age. He was not exposed to our TOXIC ways. He learned discipline. He learned to resist corruption. He learned what it meant to have a work ethic.
I could go on forever, but I won't. Once again, I present FACTS, and I'll I get is empty words of rebuttal--without substance. Shall I take this to be agreement? As to this topic being relocated to the debate forum: I AM INSULTED! Scholarly posts as this do NOT belong side by side with "Whooz Hottr, Brittney or Christina?" Gimme a BREAK.
I did not read Cheats latest words of wisdom.
I hate opening a thread to be confronted with wall-to-words,
no paragraphs, no spacing, nothing to break up the text.
Bad spelling and grammar I don't care about but if you want someone
to read what you have taken ages writing about, then make is at least
make it look inviting.
Cheats posts are like wading through treacle.
Quote fro someone else;
"Scotland for example has consistently provided the worlds best
engineers throughout history, and has invented more modern
everyday inventions than any other nation including telephone and
television,and yet today has little more than five million people."
I use to think that and lost a pub bet on it.
The Jewish nation has more inventions to it's credit. Much more.
Scotland has the famous ones, telephone, telly, peniculin, tarmac,
raincoats, bullets, tyres.... But the Jews (Thomas Alva Eddison for instance),
have invented a lot more.
Wee tit-bit.
Logie Baird invented the television. His house is still standing and
is now a listed property.
So What?
The house where the guy who invented the telly once lived is NOT
allowed to put up a television ariel.
Originally posted by cheater1It is ridiculous to think that just because someone is born in a country beside the U.S. that he is disciplined, resists corruption and has learned work ethic. Every country has productive citizens and people like Cheater1.

Cheater1 you are a racist and should be banned from this website. I dare you to make generalizations about African Americans or any other minority. Just because you are talking about Americans in general does not make it right. By spreading this kind of propaganda, you influence some, especially the young, to adopt your point of view. Comments like these are very irresponsible, spread ignorance and encourage prejudice.
Originally posted by patzertilldeathI realize that this guy is a douche bag and only wants to push people's buttons. The question is this: Where do we draw the line?
Settle down Martin.
Is it ok to be racist sometimes? Is it ok to to be racist against certain nationalities?
Originally posted by cheater1I think your 4th reason is stronger than your other arguments. There may be another however. WEIGHT OF NUMBERS. For every one active chess player in America, Russia has over 50, naturally there is a 50 times greater chance Russia will produce a genius player. As to your prediction that American will NEVER be a world champion, you may be correct, but I'll wait and see...😏
