And conversely to the intelligent turn this discussion had taken, you have rubbish like this being spouted off by thousands across the world who are every bit as ignorant as the people they condemn. |

No ones condemning anyone, just asking that we as the rest of the world be considered before making plans to attack the next country with "Weapons of mass destruction, ha, ha" or before confusing the n with the q and attacking Iraq instead of Iran, he he (To quote Lewis Black). |

...because the actions of an administration which is supported by a vast minority of the population reflects the actual consensus of the population itself.

Being half British I will tell you we're no Angels. If you go to the majority of Spanish and Greek Mediterranean resorts, your guaranteed to see lot's of violence and alcohol abuse 90% of the time the people involved are British. |
definitely mate. I totally agree here, it's pathetic, and I often find myself having to show i'm not one of those stereotypes when abroad. Once you've spoken to a few locals, shown some manners & generally a smile, they realise we're not all scum fortunately, but I try to avoid the scum resorts too. |

I tend to avoid the majority of the area myself. I've been in the region so many times it's just like being out on Saturday night in a English City Centre but with a higher temperature.
This type of behaviour is regular occurance.

i blame mtv
in my mind its one of the single most detrimental factors to our youth right now
i used to watch it sometimes when i was in early high school and looking back i can't justify it, i've never seen any good come from it
and the one thing that bothers me is that i swear the production teams behind these music videos will tell you over and over that kids are that suceptible to wanting to do what they see on tv when their videos are filled with women in bikinis and guys drinking and smoking, however these same videos often have product placement in them which (suprise suprise) is only there because the ad agencies know that kids are suceptible to these videos
as for background on me, i watch tv for sports and the daily show, thats about it, and i have fm1, fm2, and am on my car radio and all 3 are npr stations and they never get changed |

I don't give a f*ck what other people think of the country because in most cases they'll stick to their own misconceptions. This kind of statement holds for pretty much any country around the world actually.
All I know is I may never be able to live in the US ever again despite the fact I am a citizen ... might as well burn my in passport at this stage.
/pissed off. ( don't worry I'm not pissed off at you RJT or anyone else in this thread ) |
