What your country does directly affects others, in other countries. We have a right to discuss that...negative and positive. It's free speech...something your nation holds dear. You have the right to ignore it.

You think you're unhappy? What about America herself? If I were a global superpower, I'd be downright depressed if NS General Forum had some threads that are interpreted as being anti-American.

Not saying I agree with him, but it is kinda hard to ignore all the titles that could be interpreted as being anti-American or critical of America. True, you can ignore the threads, but you can't really ignore reading the titles while searching for something you'd want to read.

I think the current US Administration has done quite a bit to gather the ire of the world today. It is only natural that people are gonna talk about it.

So long as sentiments remain debate and do not become stereotypical and rabid, I support discussion of US policy. I'm no patriot, but I don't like it when people make generalizations of Americans. Just as I don't like generalizations, period.

I am a US citizen and I see no reason with people, including US citizens being critical of the US when our government does something that deserves criticism.

At least we aren't seeing as many of the "All Americans suck" threads. These are reasoned criticisms. If you think the person is wrong, tell them so. If you think that the action is correct, tell everyone why.

Yes, you can ignore them. Just like I ignore abortion threads, or gay-bashing threads, or "LIBERALS/CONSERVATIVES/PEOPLE WITH THREE TOES ARE STUPID" threads.

What I dislike is that many people equate any valid discussion about the negative impact of certain US policies with 'America bashing'. Saying, "AMERIKA IS TEH STOOPID!!" is America bashing. Saying, "The US should live up to its trade agreements" is an opinion, based on facts, and the ensuing discussion, while occasionally puncuated by random America bashing, is NOT America bashing. See the difference? I'm sure you can. So avoid the bashing, hell, even avoid the valid threads. But don't pretend it's all mindless hating.

I do not know what page of General Eutrusca visited, but it was not the front page, unless he considers threads not about America at all inherently bashing America. After seeing him go off about liberals in a totally unrelated joke thread about Wal-mat, I wouldn't be surprised

Front page:
2 threads on Britain
1 thread on Denmark
1 thread on video game
"America Rocks"
2-3 threads about sex
2-3 threads on stupid politics (PETA, Sheehan, the politics thread)
1 thread on the Israeli pullout


I fail to see a single "Attack America" thread

I think the point is that any discussion/debate about something worthwhile starts out as an actual discussion and develops into name-throwing and such muck. At least, that is my observation on General threads while I've been on here.

Yeah, I see the difference. I merely meant that it is hard to ignore the titles of things meant to be provacative or such. All I meant by my previous post is that curiosity will more than likely get the better of someone, so they check out the thread, which leads to them reading it. There are some people around here that provide interesting topics and reasoned posts, but there are also people that just spew stupid things to begin with. While the saying goes "take the bad with the good," you gotta weed through the bad to get to the good.

And Eutrusca, really. As others have said, it's not America bashing, it's reasoned criticism. If you don't like it, suck it up, grow a thicker skin. Or simply take a break from NS. Coming in and posting a thread that seems to be wanting to garner pity won't help you. Frankly, I'm disappointed.

I love being from a country where nothing is newsworthy or worth getting hyped up about... Our top news agency's big story today is that 13 million litres of cow dung somehow escaped from a lagoon in New York State and is floating toward one of our cities. And, like all Canadian stories, it's really half about the US anyway. I think it is great. It means nothing too terrible ever happens here (except for the occasional stink over heffer-poop).

You fought a big war for your independence; we asked politely after the Queen hinted that it was time we finally moved out on our own. You stampede off into the world fighting wars, we knit toques and occasionally legalise (or at least decriminalise) stuff you find scandalous. I am quite happy with that, even if the end result is that nobody really cares too much about us either way.

Edit: In case anyone is interested, here's the story: http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2005/08/15/MANURE_SPILL_20050815.html

Unfortunately, not everyone was so quick on the draw. Notice how quickly others can succumb to nationalism and defensive tactics when it's their country being berated, though. It's not an exclusively American trait.

Eut, maybe starting a thread about how much you got depressed about anti-America threads isn't a good idea to get cheared up. A funny story thread or so would really work better, but anything that mentions not liking America criticism/bashing/looking at wrong will always degenerate (unless I start it, in which case it will flounder and die, just to spite me :p)

I've seen many threads that remained quite civil. So no, they don't all turn into name-throwing. And you can always leave a thread that has deteriorated to that point instead of crying that people are picking on you.

Yeah, I see the difference. I merely meant that it is hard to ignore the titles of things meant to be provacative or such.

While the saying goes "take the bad with the good," you gotta weed through the bad to get to the good.You always have to do that weeding. That's life. I for one am more affected by reasonable arguments than vile crap. Facts hit home harder than bullshit. And again...no one forces anyone else here to read a thread, or even participate in General.

For sure. But there aren't enough other nationalities here I guess to make these 'oh poor me' threads. That and the Americans love talking about themselves too...so there aren't a lot of 'other countries are teh sux' threads going around. And when they are, they tend to be short.

After Octavius seized power, he turned Caesar into a title. I assumed he was talking about a Roman Emperor in general.
Whatever, though, I’m sure the Greeks bad mouthed Ol’ Julius. After all, they did “look down their powdered noses at all Romans.”
