Being an American, there is no really good way to respond to this thread. If you even hint that america has brough some or all of this on itself, you're labelled an America-hating Liberal. If you denounce every person who decries America on the world scene, you're labelled a conservative, sound-bite whore. The truth is really in the middle. Every person on these foums has an opinion on America and it's place in world politics. Some of those opinions are valid and some are not.

In my opinion, people need to stop hating on us so much...I'm not saying don't hate the government and all that jazz, 'cause yeah our governments corrupt and greedy, but so is all the other countries governments, and I don't think it's fair that the actual CITIZENS of the country should have to be persecuted because of it.
I spent about the last half hour getting bashed by people from the UK and Canada on a different forum because I said that I was American.
me and my friend got bashed and banned from a UK server on an on-line game, because when asked what country we were from, we replied that we were Americans.
It really is unfair that the people of a country should have to suffer because of something their government is doing. I'm not fighting in Iraq, hell I don't even support the war. I have relatives in every major part of the world, and because of that I don't hate any race or country, so why should I and my friends have to endure idiots who feel the need to tell me about how crappy and dirty and ignorant I am, and how spoiled and cruel I am, how I'm such a dirty American whose days are numbered. It really is pissing me off, and if any of you who read this fit the category who do the things I mentioned, I recommend that you lay off.
Man thats just plain wrong that you got bashed and banned on a UK server just because you were American.we got an evil,greedy and corrupt government,theirs no question about that.But thats totally unfair that they take out their hatred of our government out on you and your friend. 😠
Well, I like being an American. Hell, our history shows how kickass we are! We defeated the world's most powerful army with farmers and one of the the world's most powerful naval fleets. I mean... that's good for something, right?! I mean, sure, we're cocky, fat, and ignorant, but there are some of us above that.
Am I a conservative flag-waver?
