Insulted and ashamed...

I was reading KhadijaTeri's blog posted a long time ago about Libyan women, while I was reading i was nodding away at the absolute truth of the whole thing, when I finished I decided to read the comments...oh my god.....

How people are offended easily, If KhadijaTeri was a Libyan writing the blog I'm 100% sure that the comments would have been accepted noted and remarked upon as "how funny". I was however insulted at the words of the commentators especially the American lady who managed to add that it was they who taught Libyans how to use a toilet seat (??!!!??), maybe so, maybe not...But I was even more ashamed to read what the Libyan commentators wrote...

"if you don't like where you are go home"
"your husband gives you more freedom than if he was married to a Libyan"
????????????????
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I'm a big believer in freedom of speech, however I'm also a huge believer in respect.

I think that actual comment you found so offending was written by Khadijateri herself . I could be wrong ?
