If you are Belgium it will be honest to put this site on your mail.
And this part of SEEcult-"Seecult on English" is under BETA agency
'jurisdiction's.
FORUM in SECULTURE(as a part of SEEcult) is where MANIK moderate...
Seecult (South-Eastern Portal for Culture )as you could see
http://www.seecult.org/english/ forward messages from all
around the world,not just from 'good natured' America.
Completely diferent's area of question who take into consideration
American's expansionism and role of world policeman.This is also question of
American internal politics
because USA are "Main Subject"(J.Habermas)and by default via globalisation
and USA interference
in other country internal affairs,we must be present in USA internal
affairs.But not as glorification,we must criticize
this politics with all our knowledge and emotion.Because in last eight years
Americans started two wars(in Serbia 1999,and Iraq 2003).Would you like some
more excuse to criticize their in ultimate goal to be world conqueror...
We believe you are naive and that's why we try to explained all this well
known fact to you.
We hope it's not wasting time.
Cheers

<Well Charlemagne is in Beligium, and he approved and even corrected the
spelling.
<But Slanderous chooses artists to profile based upon their good nature.
<Lee Wells, Steve Read, Patrick Lichty et all et al were chosen because they
have a sense of humour, and aren't offended <easily. In fact some of the
articles have been inspired or initiated by the subjects.
<Our favorites , the Steve Read child and the 2 heeaded River/Whid pix would
make great paintings and we think they <bring a sense of community to New
Media on Rhizome. The stats for the site are through the roof, so it might
look silly to <you, but it works for many.

After this explanation we must laugh watching your magazine?
How old are you?This is teenage sense for humor.
And why man from Belgium flatter Americans?
Is that your good slave nature?
We prefer sophisticate and intelligent joke
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sophisticate ).

> stupid
> web.magazine "editor",with primitive joke and stupid pictures.

<Well no it's not. We mix serious content (the deaths of Vonnegut and
Baudrillar)
<with surreal content (the arrest of Cory Arcangel).

You made mistake,or you don't understand term 'surreal'.

<We beleive that handguns should be banned.

Everybody have belief,everyone have assholle too.

<We also believe that restricting access to those devices would have made
the carnage less devastating.

Isn't it well treatment theme in M.Moore " Bowling for Columbine"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Moore )?
But this documentary was finished at 2002.What have you(or American) done
meanwhile?

<In the world media today, a two headed Rabbit is reported in the same
newscast as the Iraq civil war.
<It's not the container , it's the reader.

Is that duty for us to see thing that way?If isn't what are going to do to
force us?

<There are no "stupid pictures" related to the massacre. Or stupid comments.

YES!
There're.Your whole concept is pathetic which mean parts of same concept are
in same category.

> Think about your role in this massacre.Or you believe it's best you could
> do is to tell something ugly to your president Bush?And let thing go.

<Not my President, and not the president of Americans who voted and
campaigned for alternatives.
<What would you suggest?

Whose President is your President?What's your personal opinion?If you have
one...We doubt.
There's nothing Belgium in your magazine,so what's the difference between
you and American?

> Meanwhile every day coffins from Iraq,massacre at home...We couldn't
believe

<Once again, going by your reasoning everyone in the world community who
doesn't stand in front of a bullet is guilty.

We're not judge,we try to tell you and your friends some facts.

<Ridiculous to blame Americans of conscience for events that are out of
thier control, and by the way, Slanderous has a <Canadian connection.

No shit?We always raise deep suspicion on Canadian.You should told to
Mr.Moore he's wrong considered criminal in Canada.Or...he lie?

<Thiose same "guilty" Americans have worked harder to depose Bush than you
ever would.

You couldn't know our relationship with Bush.So don't prattle:)

<We will not be covering you or Seecult, we hope that makes you happy,
beacause it's really your ego that's talking and not <your conscience.

Is that you who send dirty sites on SEEcult address?

<You are pure, we aren't.

Thanks!
