Funnier how Euros & Canucks can't go a span of 30 minutes without putting down the US and Americans. Whatever it takes to be fashionable, I suppose... and you call others brainwashed? ;)

Why do you care again? Capitalism and the ideal of the republic don't seem to be working too well. :p

You get propaganda shoveled down your throats and you swallow it, then ask for more. Just the US government used scare-monger tactics in the 50s with regards to Communism, your current administration does with terrorism. Yes, the threat is real, but where do you draw the line with combating it?

The entire world is laughing at your government because of Iraq.

Glad to see you know exactly how I feel based on where I live. What do you think of blacks, btw? Jews? Just curious - I'm sure someone as astute as yourself can draw some conclusions based on their skin color and religion, respectively. After all, there was a time when discrimination based on these traits was fashionable as well ;)

US Government is not the same as "Americans". There are many of us who very much disagree with what the government is doing. If you think W represents all Americans, I would suggest you need to meet more Americans.

I was very careful to make that distinction, please re-read my post.

If you made a distinction, you did a damn good job of hiding it. This is a pretty weak attempt at saving face. How much time have you spent living in the US, by the way? I'm very curious.

Uh, I don't think I can be anymore clear. Would you like me to paint a picture?

I was born in England, and became a Canadian citizen in '94. I have travelled extensively through the States.

You're right, you couldn't be much more clear, which is why it's so laughable that you're trying to rescind your stance here ;)

And I asked how much time you've spent living in the states, not your travel habits.

I find it funnier that people like you rape our pop culture and then put us down.
