ladyskydiver 0 #2 October 28, 2004 Nope....my like or dislike of people is on an individualized basis. I will never say that I like or hate all (fill in the blank).Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juanesky 0 #3 October 28, 2004 Well, I think it is not the issue about liking or not UK subjects, but certain attitudes that also transpire of your fellow citizens against the US. Then when confronted with the that funny article from the BBC, they get all pissy and defensive.

wmw999 2,182 #9 October 28, 2004 Ya know, if you always fall to the lowest behavior and name-calling you see, rather than trying to rise to the ideal behavior, then the general tone falls, rather than rising. "He did it first" didn't work when I was 5, and it's not a good reason to insult folks now. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

juanesky 0 #11 October 28, 2004 It is not about who did it first or not. If it annoys you, you have 2 alternatives: Disregard, two confront. Either way is not your business, just the greenies, HH as long as the forum rules are followed. Why aren't you as appasionate to respond when they are bashing the president, the US or anything american, or even inciting to kill or maime americans?"According to some of the conservatives here, it sounds like it's fine to beat your wide - as long as she had it coming." -Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,182 #12 October 28, 2004 QuoteWhy aren't you as appasionate to respond when they are bashing the president, the US or anything american, or even inciting to kill or maime americans What you see as bashing I don't always see as bashing, I see as criticism; sometimes I agree with it, sometimes I don't. I happen to think that GWB is a lousy president, and so I'm likely to agree with people who say that. And let me go down in history as saying that people who threaten to maim and kill anyone are evil. Americans don't deserve more protection because they're American. That's also not treasonous to say. Targeting any nationality or people (including Americans, probably excluding OBL and al-Zarqawi) for evil is bad. And, well, I can post here if I want too, even if I am just trying to get people to be polite and see the other side sometimes.

jimbarry 0 #13 October 28, 2004 The brits are great! Their country is great (albeit expensive) to visit. Although the BBC is so weighted to the left, I can't watch it anymore without falling over. Need an equal dose of FOX just to balance out my system. As for Skyrad's "limey" thread I still think the Guardian fabricated most of those so called "letters from americans". Pretty easy to see: spelling, slang, phrases, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
