Whats a matter boy, are you some kinda queer?
Maybe you could help me find out, big boy.

Also, this whole country vs. country debate is beyond silly. The war is over, guys, we're allies now.

yeah? try telling that to the frenchman and fridge, both of which have a history of talking trash about the US, while completely ignoring their own ugly history.
You do know my mother's from Brooklyn, right?
No, but I don't see what difference that makes.
If you want to be critical of the US, that is fine; there is plenty to be critical of. My problem is when said criticism fails to be applied to others for the same, or worse, behavior on a consistent basis.
I'm half American, have a US passport and am actually "American", if that means anything. So should I be sure to include a criticism of anything European any time I criticise something American? I'm fully aware of European BS, but it seems a waste of time. I mean, take the late response to the 9/11 responders healthcare stuff. Anything comparable to that happen in Europe recently? I'm only aware of British and Swiss developments, so if you find something relevant I'd be very curious to know.
No. The thing about that is, you
never criticize Europe, so it's not a matter of "tit-for-tat". And we were talking about war and the excuses given for war and so on... you neglected to mention the fact that Europe's history is just as, if not more than, bloody and exploitative as the US. Furthermore, I still don't see where the original post (which is not even a novel or revealatory quote) can be construed as what you claimed it to be. I must have missed something, because it seemed to me to be a bit of a non-sequitur.
I mean, it's not exactly as if you (and even more so, the frenchman) haven't made statements of condemnation solely regarding the US in the past... if I went around bashing Europe every chance I got, I would damn well deserve being called on it, and I will hazard a guess and say that it would happen pretty damn quickly, too.
You know this, I am sure.
