FIREWALL 05-30-08 12:56 PM

Woke up this morning and was surprised this thread was still going.

I'm going to do something more constructive.

To those that like to bash my country under the guise of debate.

I concede. You are the MasturDebators.

Im sorry, but no amount of internet tough talk will ever top someone saying to your face three simple words in an unprovoked verbal assault, "F**K you G.I!". Or better yet go to a resturant and get the host in your face saying something like, "You go! You go NOW! We don't serve Americans!"

So come on guys, toughen the skin up a little. A post title of a thread posted on an internet message forum is hardly the most offensive thing in the world.

Certainly not, but then again neither are our responses to it now are they? Nobody is flying over to Germany to hunt him down like a dog, nobody is demanding that he be banned, or making any threats.

Don't you think that if he has the right to make these provocative posts then we have the right to voice our displeasure with them? Why do you believe we have to keep silent?

To avoid this happening again, perhaps someone could post a list of words that can't
be used in the same sentance as 'America' with out being offensive.

YOU IS DA BOMB:up: :up: :up: :up:

Thank you Neal. I'm sorry to say it's infecting other threads.

I hope I didn't go overboard but I enjoy this Website and it's up to all of us to keep it kool.

The Moderaters work hard at keeping it kool but it's our responsibility to help.

I might not be that help.(I hope not ) but I'm tired of the baiting & bashing. " What come's around, Goes around "

Let's hope you can clear the air.

Were supposed to be young & old Adults RIGHT :D

I try to apply the same standard, regardless of country. If someone had posted a topic "Typical Austrian behaviour" about the whacko who kept his daughter in the basement for 17 years and bore 4 children with her, I would have zapped that as well. It really doesn't serve our community to generalize like that.

Glad we have adult supervision on this board :up:

Well, yes, and that's quite right.
However, this topic title was not a generalization.

It just said that there was something stupid from the US and, arguably, there was.

I did not say "America is stupid" or "All Americans are stupid" or "this is typically American".

It just said one American made something stupid.
It made no genraliseation. I don't see ho that is unfair.

Wow! 59 posts and still not past the title line. This has got to be some kind of record.
