I really appreciate the diversity of views on here, but railing against what foreigners choose to do with their own country rarely gets you anywhere. Least of all when your opinions simply don't connect with people of that nationality.
I pointed out that's something we put up with every fucking day.

Now what's your problem?

Three times I wrote and destroyed a post to ask the same question. Really, Aliantha. What is your point? You make accusations. But your posts are so short on facts and examples that only speculation can make sense. Yes, that is what many must do to reply - speculate as to what you are saying.

You really are an anti-American Socialist idiot aren't you?

To ark up means to get cranky. Pardon me for thinking you were cranky when you were using abusive language in your post. I guess you were just talking.

With regard to the rest of my post. My point was that the reason US citizens might feel criticised by posters from other nations is because it's mostly US issues which get discussed online due to the fact that it's mostly US users online. To be honest, I don't see too many people from other nations saying anything different to the sorts of things US citizens say though.

If you disagree then fine. I was just trying to suggest a reason for what seems to be a problem for you.

You guess right.

But when an American does it to some other country, we're arrogant dicks, we don't understand other cultures. Well, it goes both ways.

My problem is you accusing me of dumping on SG, when I was saying I understand what she's talking about because we see it every god damn day.
