Posts insulting America

Here's something I'd like to make very clear to everyone who makes posts critical of the United States. As an American, I'm very proud of my country, and I always want it to do the right thing. To that end, I disagree with many, many things my country does. I think you'll find that many Americans (actually, probably about half of us), do the same.

Therefore, if you're going to insult my country, please attack or insult the people responsible, not ME as an American, because chances are I'll agree with you. But if you're going to make a point and then say, 'Man, America sucks' or 'Great country you got there, aye?' then I'm going to take it personally. I'm doing my best to help my nation find its way, as are many people I know, and to randomly insult us all for the way the country is now accomplishes nothing.

okay, i think it is legit to bash amerikans as a whole. as much as we would like to think otherwise, this country is not totally dictated by a bunch of elitist capitalists. if amerikan citizans were the innocent bystanders kamakazi seems to think they are, Mr. George W. Bush would not be our president and christianity would not be such a domineering force in our legislation.

You all are just not getting the picture. You cannot make blanket statements about any population with regards to any issue. Not all black people are good at basketball, not all South Koran people know tae-kwan-do, and not all American people are stupid and uninformed. And the vast majority of the non-US citizens on this site have never visited the country itself and just base their opinions on what their T.V. news tells them. I withold any opinions on the nature of the citizens of a country until I visit it. That being said, Canada is cool, Australia is laid back, England is a little dirty, and France is annoying.

I agree with the threadstarter 100 percent. I remember discussions with fellow Belgians a year ago about the United States'actions. US-bashing was even considered a 'trend' by some rightwing assclowns on our Flemish forums. As of the 'leftwing' considered the American people their enemy or something. A stupid bunch of dumb black/white reasoners, thats what they were.
The fact I regret most is that the city which became victim of 9/11, is one that disagrees with her country's actions . Or am I wrong?

I'm Canadian, and i love the US, of course it does have alot of ignorant people, but so does Canada. dspin7x was bang on with his comment. Canadians are just as guilty as being ignorant as Americains. A huge number of Canadians seem to think that we are so much better and smarter than Americains because they seem to go to war a little more often and have slightly different ways of doing things. Do I think what theyre doing right now is right? No. Do I judge the Americain people as a whole because of a slight majority that believe what the war is right? No, only and idiot would do that
