Great sense of humor, Takeda Shingen!

I indeed can imagine such people since i have occasionally met them here in my own country as well. They are that way for many reasons ranging from ignorance to narcissism, and often created by the fact they never had to earn any of the benefits our nation gives them. Most do not vote however and they are in the minority in any case.

This should not be confused by the ancient European concept of people and government being two separate entities. A concept bred by centuries of being treated as peasant chattel by kings and dictators for centuries. As a nation of immigrants who have fled such oppressive systems I believe we don't have inherent submissiveness to accept such a situation and God willing we never will.

I just don't like foul Nazi-cliches beeing used on us, that's as if I would say all americans are KuKluxKlan, all americans are Bush-loaylist, all amercians are this, or that. Or whatveer nationality you want to talk about. All Polish steal. All Russians drink. All Brtish are snobs. All french are softies. Etc.etc. Although you see that different - I don't think I use cliches on your people. I made observations that have formed my perception of the policy of your nation. Because I do not speak to much about your people, but politics. And when I target politics, I do not care if they are German or American or Europeans, they are either solid and well, or they aint. That at times one is aksing why this or that politician or policy receives support or is rejected by a people is only legitimate.

"At times", how about with every one of your posts? I can understand being fed up with the nazi-cliches but your counter attacks come off as just as deliberately biased and all inclusive.

the way you put your reply sais more about your attitude, than about them...

Be precise, and stick to the point then. Where did I question the last time the general reason of the american people directly, where did I ask a question like for example "These yanks are nuts all together, can someone tell me why they stick to a guy like Bush at all"? Even when going back for months of memories I cannot remember to have been that personally and directly towards your people.

Hey, I just watched a silly movie on TV, "Reign of Fire", an american film , and in one scene the one american actor said to the other american actor: "You know, the only thing in the world that is worse than dragons - are americans!"

A prime example of the pot calling the kettle black Skybird, yet you know nothing of my fellow countrymen nor how i feel about them.

As for the rest of your post how about instead of your little quote research assignment i just point it out to you every time i see you do it in the future.

I saw "Reign Of Fire" at the cinemas when it first came out in Australia, in the whole cinema there were only 4 of us watching it. It was the best movie ever!!! :rotfl:

Skybird I wish you were around when I was at school. I would never have had a problem of reaching the target for the number of words in an essay

Ah, that's a solid source to base your anti-Americanism upon! One Hollywood actor talking to another one...
You've proved posting after posting that you don't understand the American mentality, but basing your anti Americanism upon a Hollywood script explains and excuses a lot of the nonsense you've been posting.
I happen to know about Americans, because I watched 'The Bold and the Beautifull', or was it 'As the World Turns'?
