Of course it doesn't bury (what a ridiculous attempt to suggest, yet again, that you're being oppressed in yet another way) your opinion (which is all you have). It just indicates the extent to which your opinion is biased and ignores what evidence there is about such a complex issue. The quotations aren't just "self-congratulatory", though some have such elements in them, they do refer to some evidence beyond mere personal opinion - in your case evidently driven by strong prejudice. It's pretty bizarre here of all places, to imply that doing some relevant research is somehow useless - clearly it is to you, given your dogmatic, negative views.  

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.
