Yeah, Im kinda funny like that ...
I guess it's just not a good idea to generalize like that around me, because I "will" react to it, no matter if generalizing in this manner is thought acceptable or not.
I mean... unless you don't mind getting your a$$ jumped, that is.
I don't do it ... and I "will" react to people that do do it, around me.
Not saying I'm right.... just saying I "will" react.
And I'm not talking about generalizations such as Frag's doughnut comment either.... I have a feeling that most people here know what I'm talking about. A general vindictiveness toward "the people" of a nation.
examples:
Quote: "Oops, sorry, I forgot Americans still believe they are "bringing peace"
Quote: "This is excactly the American attitude the world out here is getting tired of"
Quote: "Try not to do it the American way when you don't agree with people"
Quote: "something the Americans have forgotten since 9/11"
All vindictive statements by a vindictive person toward Americans.
This is sowing discord ... no matter how you slice it.
No mention of government, no mention of leaders, no mention of politicians, no mention of military in these statements ..... just "Americans" ...
If there is an attitude problem with Americans, then it's no wonder ...when you've got instigators like this person stupidly making assumptions about "millions" of people.
