    Not all Americans are like that. Some clearly are, you see posts like that here all the time but there are a lot of American posters who post here who don't think like that.

      2/3 of them have posted in Laz's thread.

          I agree with you.

          But It seemed to me that the other guy just didnt want to talk to you, I would have stopped the discuccion before.

            Kublai-Khan, hmm? He started talking to me actually and i did want to talk with him, just different subject .

            That's nice about in the US though.. people start talking with you and are friendly.

            But keeping it in the subject, the main question could go like; if someone (european, foreign) does not agree with you, or does not want to praise his/her opinion about the great US, he/she must be bashed to the ground, using stereotypes like 1.) we have saved you. You are a p9ssy. Shut up. 2.) we have freedom of speach. You do not. Shut up. 3.) we are great, you are not.
            why? Do you share these stereotypes?

            I mean US is obviously the only superpower in the world right now, but it does not mean we would be the opposite in every thing.

              You will always find some folks like that. Even if 9/11 hadn't happened, he'd have ranted about something.

              Slow, I think what Pekka meant by attacking so fast wasn't the US, but this guy who does a 180 on him instantly, Linda Blair style.

                Well thanks, Che.
                I couldn't understand without "y'all" and such.

                  That person you encountered was an idiot. You will find idiots in every country. You don't need to worry, most Americans don't have that view of Europe.

                    Che, Exactly. And that he used stereotypes so fast and willingly.
                    If some US citizen and i have a chat in here, i wouldn't go and bash his/her country and say ' well you know, go eat a big mac and while you're at it, kick some black ass'.

                      Shi Huangdi, Ok. That's is what i thought, i just thought to be sure . It's not a good idea to critizise US actions abroad naturally, but then again it's not a good idea to come here and critizise about our army or hockey. I actually mean it, even when it sounds stupid. And yes, you can find a jewhating nazi here too if you search enough etc. Rotten apples are everywhere.

                        To me, from the impression from what you provided of this experience, that American is an embarrassment and perhaps an assh**le.

                          The guy was a jerk. He certainly does not represent the kind and respectful people of Tennessee. I have lived in several parts of the United States and these types of people are an embarrassment to the decent folks that live here.

                              Come to Texas sometime. Of course, some would tell you that we're all horse riding, goat roper, Black hating, Gay bashing Red Neck Neanderthals; but you know how that goes.
