I never thought for a moment to start a contentious arguement over who is more at fault for instigating or inspiring any emotional bruhaha or as you seem to argue ones superiority over another, you did. But seeing as how you mention it...
I just said Euros seem to play more a part in the US politic thread than USAos do in others. Just my simple limited observation of who participates in what threads, I could be wrong. Dont really give a rats arse how people say it. I suggested a merge because I thought the topics, gripes concerns and whatnot seem to be about the same thing only behind different borders.
