Ok and why do you keep using the word "Americans" if you're not comparing them to other nationalities?

Oh will you stop already .. everything is a debate with you .. I'm not comparing them by saying Canada is better or Iraq is better or Taiwan is better .. I am not comparing them to anyone. We deal with an American company, therefore we deal with Americans .. fine .. those humans from the US .. is that better? :roll:

Ok, I'll stop, but only because you clearly don't get it.

Cuz I dislike your attitude and would rather not talk to you and there is nothing TO get. Whether we're talking about Americans or Canadians or Australians or British people or Chinese people .. I'm not comparing the people to each other or acting like one nationality is better than another .. I'm saying WE as in EVERYONE, need to stop acting like one country is superior to another.

Besides, calling someone American or Canadian or by their nationality isn't an insult .. I'm Canadian and I'm proud to be called Canadian :nod:

If I said I was anti-american, that doesn't mean I think that everyone from the US is stupid or I dislike them. I'm just saying that what is generally excepted as the "american way of life" is not what I believe in. I dislike the way that many (not all) americans think that America is supierior to everything else. I guess I can't really say that because I beleive Canada is the best country in the world! But I would beleive that France or Poland or whatever was the best if I lived there. There's pride, and then there's making other people feel bad because they are not from that country.

Honestly, what did I do other than ask a few questions? If you say something, be prepared to back it up.
