I am growing tired of the many verbal attacks on us Americans on this forum as if it is OK. If I sat here and bashed people from your countries, I would get a warning in the blink of an eye. I would possibly even get banned. I am a patriotic person, I love my country. I might not like the current administration but the great thing about America is eventualy this administration will be out the door by default.
I am not refering to comments about our governement though. I am refering to Americans as people. I have been reading many things here that are direct attacks on us. I take it personal and I would appreciate the respect of it stopping now. Like I said, if the shoe was on the other foot and it was me making comments about Brits, Chinesse, Ausies, Germans or any other culture, I wouldnt have the same freedom of expression.

Yep. It's always been okay to make fun of the Americans. Even though very often the stereotypes are wrong. Although, you did spell half of those nationalities wrong.  At least we're still cool in Japan...I think. Maybe Russia?

I, for one, think Americans get it pretty easy, considering how f'ing retarded we are. As people.

I'm trying to track down some blanket statement that I can take righteous and honest offense at, something like, "All Americans are greedy, selfish bastards", and I'm coming up empty.
I found a thread whose title seems to imply that America is greedy for accepting aid, which looked like a promising forum for anti-American attacks, but despite a little bit of personal sniping I saw more interesting discussion about the dynamics of disaster relief than any sort of anti-Americanism.
In general, not just in this forum, I'm seeing the international community stepping up to the plate and helping us out... even members of that community we haven't been very nice to.
But maybe I'm just missing the anti-American posts. Are there some specific examples we can discuss?

Bah. I'm American. And I'm willing to bet that some of my posts are the offensive ones.
You believe in America and "American values"?
Well, my friend, free speech is one of them.
You can't have it both ways.

But maybe I'm just missing the anti-American posts. Are there some specific examples we can discuss? I may be able to direct you to a forum (non-SL) that is likely to have some of this, I'm sure...

I dunno, I dont read *everything* on the forums but this sounds like fantasy IMO. I have seen waaay more anti-european stuff than I have anti-american stuff. Especially if you are talking personal slurs as opposed to talking about Nations, National policies, or National Leaders. And everytime there is a thread about China or Chinese people in particular there are *always* at least a handfull of out and out racist comments made. Worse, it seems clear to me that the folks making them aren't even aware they are making racist comments. What's wrong with you Americans anyway for making all these racist remarks?
