Oseedo you think the following comments
are offensive and/or should be regarded as a personal attack
I'm not completely convinced that it's an attack, and even if it is, I
don't view it as a personal attack on me, if that's what you're
asking. Others might interpret the words differently, of course, and
find them offensive.
Oseeis a punishment to the American people for what the American governments have been doing
My comments:
1. If the government is the wrong-doer, why is the punishment directed at the people? A very large percentage of the people didn't even vote in favor of putting that government in power. (Recently, one can even argue that the majority of people didn't vote to put that government in power.
)
2. Punishment is delivered by some sort of person, so a flood, for example, can't be a "punisher". The implication is that someone did the punishing, and that's often, in these sorts of reasonings (depending on the culture), God. So the statement is saying indirectly that God (or some such culture-dependent entity) is punishing American people (by sending floods to make them suffer, for example).
Oseeif someone points out that, judging from these comments, the guy making these comments has a kind of hostile to USA, do you think this is a personal attack to that guy who makes the above comments?
I'm not sure it's an attack, but it is certainly a claim that the guy is hostile to the USA. It would depend entirely on whether the guy who made the comments actually felt attacked.
Typically in such conversations, both people
1. believe they are just relating the facts quite objectively, and
2. believe the other person is being over-emotional, hostile, and offensive.
