        I can see why you're fed up. It must happen often.
        Easy way out. Ran out of arguments?
        But I understand that americans are generaly ignorant, your school system sucks and its concentrated on the U.S. and the U.S. only. But I can understand why, it's easier for the leaders to control their peoples opinion that way.

        Spec.

          The U.S. di that kind of **** so many times I cant even count them on my fingers and toes! Dont get me started on that.

            OMG please stop posting in this thread...you are just making it too easy for me.

              NO, run out of things to argue against. Your whole quasi arguement is that all americans are stupid. It's hard to argue against broad sweeping generalization based on bigotry.

              Do you think the americans that post here are stupid?
              The school my daughter goes to is a fine school, are you calling her stupid? Isn't it general knowledge that Canadians are bigger hicks the Americans? If you answer yes to all of these questions, then we have no common frame of reference to argue. If not, maybe there's hope.

                    Spec, I agree with Rah, your generalization was wrong. Many Americans are stupid, not all of them

                    BTW the United States has the most UN Vetos since 1998. Something like 237. I think France has 2. So who's the "little brat"?
                    To us, it is the BEAST.

                      Does French wine come in boxes? If not, then I've been boycotting it for years, and didn't even know it!

                        Another reason was attempting to bully NATO, an organization they don't contribute too militarily, by sabotaging protection for Turkey.

                        A third reason is that many insiders say France applied presure to several key Turkish ministers, using the club of "no possibility of EU admintance" to get them to refuse US troops to be stationed in Turkey, making the war more difficult, and possibly more costly in lives lost.

                        If France had simply said we want inspections, and then allowed a vote, without strong-arming African nations on the SC and threatening Veto, I doubt people would have boycotted.

                        Quite simply, France went to far.
                        I love this, attack France for everything that the US itself was doing. Oh no, France applied pressure to Turkish ministers, what do you call promising billions of dollars in US aid? Strong arming African nations. Threatening veto, sure because they couldn't match the US dollar for dollar in bribery.

                        I understand the boycotters viewpoint, because France flew in the face of the US's valiant attempts to start a war. Its completely hypocritical.

                          You're wrong Sava, the US is the big brat.

                              yes, agreed, but the same thing could be said about any country on the planet. So singling one out and calling them uniformed and stupid seems kind of silly.

                                To be fair, I think the ratio of stupid people is higher outside of North America.
