Americans - Don't take the America bashers personally.

Everyone outside the states is in despair

all 6 billion of them.

what a ridiculous statement.

Well with all the Bush Bashing jokes i guess the 'red necks' and 'newfies' are safe...

if you are in the states how would you know?

And yes it was a generalisation for the sake of readability.

i suggest you consult a dictionary and look up the meaning of "pedant".

ok i'll save you the bother:

one who makes a show of knowledge b : one who is unimaginative or who unduly emphasizes minutiae in the presentation or use of knowledge.

christ would you shoot Gandhi if he offered you an olive branch?

no dictionary needed, bud.

just try and reign in the grandiose exaggerations for the sake of sensibility, if nothing else.

I agree, yet respectfully disagree.

Recently I have been lucky to meet quite a few intelligent americans. My physicist friend and I got to talkin about 9/11. I think he wants to do His masters Thesis on the Demolition of the building. I'm not sure if it's going to happen , but we disgussed it for awhile.

What is hard to understand is some people have nothing but utter contempt for the US, while others risk everything to come here for a better life!

Evidently, the information about America that is floating around is not accurate.

Apparently.

the only thing i take personally is my person

i want to post on this,, but have to bite my tongue so bad it bleeds

I as an american appreciate your kindness and your obvious good judgement. It is nice to know we have at least one friend in another country that isnt wanting money or an army to protect them.

Should we account for the percentage of admittedly ignorant Americans who would have finally been on to the truth at this point were it not for the overt mind-manipulation and forcible brainwashing of MK-ULTRA?
