Recentley i have been seeing more and more people and even mods bashing or trying to bash Americans (including are culture, government, music, and even if we are lazy)....
We are ALL here for are LOVE of trance...so why must some of you feel obligated to make it clear on how much you dislike Americans or are country in general??
We (Americans) are not perfect...but neither are you or your country....
I have seen people mock the September 11th attacks on are country with COMPLETE disregard to how American TAs would feel or respond...some Americans TAs where affected by those attacks personally and happened to lose love ones that day...so that is a very emotional subject for us...yet i have seen many times where people make light of the situation or even say we deserved it....
i feel that out of RESPECT for your fellow TAs that you should try and refrain from INTENTIANLEY abusing or flaming Americans...its very rude and disrespectful....
I am sorry that i have to even post this but i have seen it getting worse and worse...so do you think we can all be a community of tranceaddicts as oppose to Europeans and Americans.... |

well right now there is a thread posted by a MOD that asks the question "Are Americans Lazy"..and there is even a poll posted...this thread goes on toimply that Americans are lazy because we use cars to go places and the such...go read it..
Then last week there was a threas about tracks that are about September 11th...like tracks that make u think about the attacks in an emotional way...well in that thread Dumonde Trancer made a very insulting and offense remark by saying Flight 643..
Then there is the on going abuse of are president George Bush...like he is the devil or soemthing...
Then all the attacks on are laws and the such..
there are many many little comments thrown hear and there about Americans...purely to flame us....if u havent seen them , well then u dont look or u just dont care... |

word up tiesto14.
i often find myself defending USA, American people and Pres. Bush many times on this forum. And, I'm not even American.....
But I am grateful to live in the BEST and MOST PROSPEROUS country in the WORLD where I have more OPPORTUNITY to succeed and be free from persecution, and other bull that goes on in other countries. Yeah, it's not perfect, but probably as good as it gets.
you know, i was thinking about the same thing about a week ago. glad you posted. thanx.

Trancex02, please don't lie as i feel you are a respected member of the TA community... and as for examples, check ESSO thread you participated in a week ago LINK TO US/BUSH BASHING THREAD . I'm not saying that you in particular did any bashing, but i am saying that you have posted and I often replied to your posts DISAGREEING with you. The link above is just one of more threads containing US bashing.
RESPECT.

| Tiesto I totally agree. The only thing this can do is make Americans angry. TA is cool because we have so many people and so many opinions that it gets really interesting when people come together. Ive gotten pretty sick of the crap too. It needs to stop. |

ya thats one thing...but it keeps happening...Coup is supposed to be a Mod yet demonstrates that he should not be...he deliberatley attacked and put down American TAs and Americans in general by generalizing them saying we are all lazy....
as u can see Coup above American TAs are tired of this ...i am not alone in saying this !!!!! |

#1 Americans work longer than anyone else in the world and have less vacation time. Im not talking about 5th world non existant countries with 15 hour a day child labor. im talking civilization.
#2 We have no public transportation becaue GM, Firestone, Chrysler, and some petroleum companies used front companies to buy up all the rails and busses in america. They then dismantled them. They had entire cities public transportation gone in sometimes ONE NIGHT. They did this so Americans HAD to rely on personal transport so the car, tire, and gas companies could reap the benefits. |
