What is so ignorant about my post? Did I strike a sensitive chord or does the truth hurt? Which is it?
Anti-Americanism-Why?

Ah yes, calling us "pee" was constructive.yennut said:
Ah c'mon Goober, this troll is obviously starved...for attention. Maybe he/she is not getting enough of it from any one of the 300 million+ people in America.Goober Mcfly said:
[font="]You generalized and stereotyped without having any facts. That's ignorant and a refuge for the weak.yennut said:
And yes you did strike a sensitive chord being that I have many friends and family members are American's and despite having opposite views to me are in no way as ignorant as you. America could do far better than have you defend them in the manner in which you do. It’s embarrassing to your inane drivel.[/font]
Can you quote that specific statement by using the "QUOTE" function on the bottom right. I forgot you are both boo and streetsmart.yennut said:
If my drivel is inane why do you keep responding? It behooves you to stop posting. I started this thread by asking a simple question as to why there was so much anti-americanism and lo and behold I didn't get any answers, but rather more anti comments. As for Gimme, he attacked me personally and I responded in kind. If you notice I have not attacked anybody that has not fired the first salvo so before you preach your sanctimonious crap know of what you speak.
The same reason I accelerate when I see small animals crossing the street.yennut said:
No you didn't get the answers YOU wanted to hear. When that failed you decided to insult us all by referring to us as "pee on the world stage." Besides, I doubt you came here looking for answers.yennut said:
How nice it must be to go on through life with blinders on yennut. The moment people disagree with you they’re your enemy and are therefore fit to be marginalized and belittled.yennut said:
[font="]By the way, will you be taking your own advice when it comes to "sanctimonious crap."[/font]
give up, move on
Although I disown yennut and wish he would emigrate to France (and I hope I speak on behalf of all the Americans on this board), I share his frustration at the depth and breadth of the anti-American attitude on this board.
It seems that while reviews are fair game for the delete button, unless you threaten to cross the border and detonate an explosive devise in Dubya's rectum, pretty much any vile post about the USA or its leadership is allowed to stand, regardless of fact or validity. Yes I'm generalizing, and I do not hold the moderators responsible as they are hardly political scientists, but you get the idea.
The difference however, is that while yennut is the poster boy for how to NOT argue your case, I learned a long time ago that it is pointless to bitch about Canada's pervasive distain for America on a Canadian escort board. Its like spitting into the wind.

Are we anti-American or are we just amused and/or annoyed?
Most Canadians aren't anti-american but we do dislike the mouth breathers like yourself.
America is an amazing country. The most powerful in the world, no question. It has, at times, acted benevolently and magnificently on the world stage and has, at other times, acted in craven self interest. When American foreign policy is indefensible (or at least debatable) we as an independent country have the right and obligation to question, disagree or opt out. That hardly makes one an anti American.
Your president's -- "your either for us or against us" is too simplistic an analysis of what is going on in the world (and American foreign policy since the end of world war two has been remarkable in the number of about faces it has had to have made -- of all people Americans should be aware that your enemy this year could be your friend next year). By the way the "in Texas we call it swagger" is a great on the stump (made me laugh and wanna vote for him -- for a day or two) but that is not an stance one can take when dealing on the world stage. Do a little thinking about the fate of the world's previous swaggering nations.

You attacked Canadians personall with your pee comment. So you fit the standard motto Americans like you follow, like to dish it out, but can't take it. You are disgracing America with every word you say, why not shut up and go to the hole/bunker you come from.yennut said:
Hey Gimme your kind really make me sick. You are obviously an immigrant to Canada based on some of your previous posts so you should just shut the f--- uo and thak Canada for letting you live there. only problem with that is that you live too damn close to the border and there really is no telling what you terorists have hidden in your shoes.
i sure am glad u chose Canada rather than the states, but I know that isn't how it happened. You were probably turned down by America as you probably couldn't pass a security clearance so lilly livered Canada let u in as they do let anybody with a pulse in.

You are dealing with a CPA (he identify in the other thread) and he will come up with a different answer.Escohort said:Thats eleven, dont be stupid!!!
I am an american. I appreciate differences. I am able to differentiate between people and countries. I have learned that ad hominum attacks demean the recipient less than the attacker. It is also true that we see what we are prepared to see. I visit Canada frequently and have grown to love its nuances.
Mob mentality, on the other hand, reflects poorly upon any of the individual members of the mob. This is as true here as it is anywhere else, including Canada. Twenty years ago, as a young attorney, I was asked to represent someone who was a passenger in a car involved in a drive-by shooting that resulted in a very serious injury to the person who was shot. My client was an honors student who was seemingly bewildered that he was being charged for a felonious assault. I recall asking him why he was in the car and why the shooting occurred. He said it just happened. He spent three years in prison.
All of this aside, the pivotal battle of the War Of 1812 was the Battle of Lake Erie, a naval battle between the British and the fledgling U.S. Navy under the command of Oliver Hazard Perry. It is almost 193 years later and our two great countries (and Britain) continue to live in peace, although natural family squabbles do occur from time to time.
