For the record, it wasn't your posting style that was irritating me. I break down huge posts exactly the same way you do, it's the way you quote incorrectly and it makes it a massive pain in the backside to find the post you were replying to.

I don't know what the hell you're doing, but you obviously aren't doing it right and it is irritating to try and find the posts you have replied to, especially in busy threads like this.

Fair enough.
Sorry for being slightly harsh in my previous posts.

You don't have to be an asshole, Bella. I can't be using my phone all the time to post or I'll hardly be on here at all. If it really distresses you, I can leave the forum. I have a little time to fill at work, but there are certainly other ways I can do it.
Edit: Well now, I guess I'm the asshole, because I didn't give Bella a chance to respond to me reporting that it's my security software that's the problem. My apologies.

1. I apologised for being a little harsh above.
2. I don't want you to leave the forum, and even If I did, why would you? Your quoting isn't much of a big deal, I was giving you useful advice since it can get a little irritating in busy threads like this one.
End of discussion. We've derailed this enough.

No worries, I was getting irritated myself, and I can see how it was frustrating for you that I seemed to not be able to do it properly no matter how it was explained.

I never did get an answer to my question, Macoleco. If it's not your problem, why would you send them food and water? Why bother helping them at all?

Because everyone in this thread misunderstood my original post.
I said that I would not let them in my country because they may hurt the civilians. Germany and Switzerland are an example of this.
I never said refugees deserve to die. I would help them sending food and water for them to survive wherever they are, just dont come to my country.

Your own countrymen "hurt the civilians". Maybe you should start kicking them out? At the very least you should be very afraid, and very suspicious. If you're the type that worries about that sort of thing.
Sending them food and water is to send the people you're -actually- afraid of food and water. That's who gets those supplies, because those are the guys with the guns. The people running scared, being turned away by this or that country, they don't get that stuff.......because they don't have the guns. More often than not it leads to a better fed and watered group of bastards creating even more refugees.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Jesus christ. Did the doctor drop all of you when you were born? Obviously there are people who hurt their own countrymen. But by letting refugees in because of a political decision implies responsability. If a government willingly let refugees in, and these hurt someone, who is the responsible? The government.
Also, that food and water would be sent only if it will surely reach the refugees. Like, you know, those are already taking shelter in another countries? I never said I would send an airborne supply.
