PhilX: As far as I can tell, even most of the Europeans on here are tired of Veg's non-stop tirade about the USA. It's good to know that most people have an open mind about Americans and don't simply assume every American is an uneducated, racist, war-monger. It's certainly not consistent with my personal experiences living in the USA. I live in a city where a black and white couple can go out, hold hands, even have their "mixed race children" present, and I've never seen anyone bat an eye over it. I'm sure some people get upset by seeing such couples, but, most Americans don't seem to care, from what I personally see. I just have a hard time imagining the USA as somehow being more racist than other western nations. We certainly have our race issues, but, I doubt that they are any worse than what exists in other western nations. One would never know that from reading Veg's comments. According to Veg, everyone in the USA supports the KKK and wants to invade every other country to bomb their children. Rather disgusting claims.

Most people are sensible and level-headed. The internet, due to anonymity, does attract some nuts.

Oh well. At least you have the support of the brilliant mind of 'Philex'.

''I lived in cities where Hispanics were the majority, and never had any problems with it. None. Also, it's racist to claim that in a city where the majority are white that this will automatically mean bigotry towards non-white skinned people.

You don't know anything about the USA that is accurate. You get your information about the USA from social media, which presents a distorted image. If you see an act of racism in the USA on YouTube, you know why that's there? Because it is a rare occurrence, not because it is representative of the vast majority of Americans. But, like many bigots, you take comfort in fixating on unusual events and portraying them as representative of the larger population.

It's pointless to demonize everyone in an entire nation, especially one consisting of more than 300 million people. I'm not about to demonize all Germans, Italians, or anyone else, simply because it's easy to find a few bad eggs in their countries.''


This is very peculiar. I recognise none of this. I get my information about the US from 'social media'? Really? What are you basing that on? I probably have more awareness of American politics and history than most Americans. It is possible to be aware of countries other than your own. It's your country that has been bleating for centuries about being the land of freedom yet it had segregation until relatively recently, and look at what those people had to go through to get it. Besides that, saying that many places in the US are nearly all 'white American' is just stating a fact. If you want to interpret that as me saying those places are 'racist' just because there are mostly white people shows you obviously have a problem with reading comprehension. I love it when the PC show themselves up as the hypocrites they are.

Veg: Your comments show quite clearly that you know very little about the USA. There is a reason why people are not going along for the ride on your claims. You are an uneducated bigot when it comes to the USA. Look at your comments? It doesn't matter that the actual topic under discussion has nothing whatsoever to do with the USA, you will twist and distort things in order to write a negative comment about the USA anyway. That's called obsession and bigotry.

Name your own country for us and let's check to see if it ever elected a black person as the head of its nation? Has it? The USA has.

I'm sure you will be doing that in your own good time. There's nothing bigoted about disliking your country, or any other for that matter. I can't stand the sound of those hideous nasally voices. I can't help that. American voices hurt my ears, especially the women's. I love the English language. Americans bastardise and butcher it out of pure bigotry. Language evolution is one thing, but deliberate butchering because of ignorance/bigotry/stupidity..--I'm not sure what but I have a feeling it has a lot to do with arrogance and childishness and not wanting to follow 'British rules'-- is another thing entirely. What's it to you anyway? I'm not calling for mass slaughter. It's the US that specialises in that. Look how much money it spends on doing it.
The US is the only country that insists on reversing day/month. This must cause quite a few problems but will the US ever change it back? Sure it will. It will expect the rest of the world to change to suit the US. That's not arrogant at all.
You can be as nationalistic and one-eyed about the ME mess as you like, but you can't alter facts.
Frankly, I find your comments about America's use of the atomic bomb to be vile and racist in the true sense of the word (not the pathetic PC meaning-depleting one). Your dismissal of all the harm that your country has done with its self-serving meddling is bigoted, racist and agenda-driven. You are trying hard to appear kind and caring with your PC 'racism' comments but unfortunately it only comes across as empty and disingenuous, which is the PC to a 't'.

Veggie: The fact you refuse to tell us the name of your country, speaks volumes. I'll assume you would have to admit that your own country has yet to elect a black leader, and probably is racist as can be. The fact you claim to hate the way Americans speak also shows your ignorance. Americans have numerous dialects and do not all speak the same. But, for you to come up with something so childish just shows how obsessed you are. If you don't like how some Americans speak, then who cares? No one is insisting you listen to Americans. No one in America gives a damn what you do. You want to spend 24/7 obsessing over America, while ignoring your own country's faults, as well as the problems of other nations, then this is up to you. You are wasting your life on bigotry, and nonsense, just like any other bigot does.

I'm willing to bet that you are jealous of the fact that the USA is a country of people from all over the globe, which has been quite successful. We have people of all different skin colors and religions here, largely getting along with one another, while your country probably has one racist group dominating a small minority. That's my guess, and most likely explains while you accuse the USA of being racist you run in fear off disclosing your own national identity.

Get a life.

And the only reason PE doesn't know where I'm from, and seems to be obsessed with it, is because he's a complete and utter cretin. I don't answer personal questions on internet forums, especially not from the likes of PE with his forum members filing system. But I often mention things about my country that make it obvious where I'm from to anyone with more than one brain cell.
Right. I'm 'jealous'. I almost pity you. The only 'emotions' you seem to possess are nastiness and extreme nationalism. You must feel terribly empty.

Veggie -- There you go with a lame excuse. It's a perfectly legit question to ask where you are from, when you obsess 24/7 over the USA. Russia bombs people in Syria, and whom do you blame? The USA. Iran bombs people in Syria, and whom do you blame? The USA. Syria drops bombs on people in Syria, and whom do you blame? The USA. You are fixated on the USA while ignoring numerous other countries that commit the very acts that you condemn the USA for. So, knowing the identity of your own country, which may very well be involved in Middle Eastern wars is relevant. The fact you hide your own national identity is evidence that you are ashamed of your own country's policies. Did your country participate in Vietnam? The Iraq invasion? Is it bombing people currently in the Middle East? Has it oppressed minorities in the name of European colonial expansion? I'm willing to bet the answer to all of these questions is "yes," which makes you a hypocrite.

Why is it 'legit' to ask where I'm from? There are many members here whose countries I don't know. I wouldn't be rude enough to ask. It's not relevant. The only ones on here who bleat about their country (and no other) are Americans. PE has even posted threads with headings like 'America is the greatest country'. There are countless threads by Americans about the US and American internal politics and domestic news. There's the arrogance again. They will state something as if it is universal, assuming everyone else knows what they are talking about (or cares).
And yes, I'm disgusted when my country participates in any filthy conflict by other countries. I couldn't give a shit when mercenaries from here get blown up meddling in countries that have nothing to do with us and have never done us any harm, simply to suck up to a stronger country and sell some dairy products. There is nothing hypocritical about me. Unfortunately American military-worship is taking hold everywhere. Every country has its mindless and credulous drones. I'm not a one-eyed nationalist like you. Luckily we don't force our children to worship rags every morning, or brainwash them with patriotic bullshit about being in the 'greatest' country on earth.

Look who's talking about cretins. You still haven't addressed SF's points "...forum members filing system." :lol: Are you still on that VT "secret file." You're not worth the bother to have a file on.

"The only 'emotions' you seem to possess are nastiness and extreme nationalism " A perfect description of yourself

No. We didn't participate in the rape of Iraq. You didn't google deeply enough :| We sent a small number of mercenary kunt-heads to Vietnam as a token gesture to suck American dick. Shame they weren't all killed.

VT said: "But I often mention things about my country that make it obvious where I'm from to anyone with more than one brain cell." That's a laugher. Arising_UK speculated about your country, mentioning Kiwi and another place.

She also said: "PE has even posted threads with headings like 'America is the greatest country'."

That reminds me: "Hooray for the red, white and blue..."
Does that rattle your ears?

Psssst. 'Kiwi' isn't the name of a country.

Sounds like you would have been happy to see the Butcher of Iraq still in charge.

As far as Vietnam goes, N. Vietnam did attack the US:
