"CatNipped" wrote in message ... "David Stevenson" wrote in message ... I'm talking about calling Americans (as in *ALL* Americans) evil, stupid, greedy, dumb, *snipped* Hugs, CatNipped -- David Stevenson Storypage: http://blakjak.com/sty_menu.htm Liverpool, England, UK Emails welcome Nanki Poo: SI O+W B 11 Y L+ W++ C+ I T+ A- E H++ V- F Q P+ B+ PA+ PL SC Minke: SI W+Cp B 2 Y L W+ C++ I T A- E H++ V++ F- Q- P B PA+ PL+ SC- I think case in point here (we haven't left for Denver yet... in the morning btw) is something similar that happened to me earlier. A week or so ago, in a chat room I visit we were discussing among ourselves the infant that was removed from her mother, resulting in a homicide on the mother's part. Another individual vists quite often, she lives in Tel Aviv Israel. Instantly she virtually threw up her arms and exclaimed "WHAT'S WITH AMERICANS!" etc etc because in the last month there have been two infant deaths in our media and they were both from the USA. That offended me a great deal but of course, smartass b*tchymouthed Gracie threw back that until recently the greater area of the persian gulf and African regions performed preadolscent genital removals on young girls. "What's with the arabs?" You'd have thought I threw boiling water on an already wet hen. And I have nothing against the location folks, I *know* that many locals there are against the genital mutilation, in fact it's widely NOT practiced. Oh, it went back and forth for a while until she was using twisting confusing logic that she loved America and wants to live here but she never hears about crimes in any other country like she does the US. My response that she spent most of her time in an American-esque chatroom, that yes it stood to reason she'd hear USA and Canadian news more readily than she would of other places. We may have some deviant criminals and women that need to be shot (some of these stories kept me in tears a week) but it's not a requirement you *must* be American to abuse your child. In the end she just "retired to her non-american corner" since she was clearly misunderstood and picked on. A few minutes later someone picked up on that what makes America so hated by other countries is our leader. Sure, I can accept that just as soon as you explain to me how Bush was responsible for someone cutting out an unborn child from it's mother. Grace |
