Like threatening to blow people up or wishing that they were POW's in Iraq?

That sounds about right. And FTR, I'm a complete Anglophile. It has nothing to do with not liking Brits or not wanting them to visit, and everything to do with security measures. I would expect the exact same response if I griped about foreign visitor security at Heathrow.Originally posted by Pyg Me
You have selective memory. The train of thought went like this.
American: We have a right and a duty to protect our country's borders any way we see fit.
Brit: Good. Then we wont be coming to spend our money in America.
American: Fine. There will be more room in Disney for me.
As you know if you spent any time at all on the DB, PygMe and I don't get along. At all, really. (Originally posted by ear_poppin
Glad to see the "usual suspects" have appeared.
I didn't take his summary to be direct quotes. But at any rate, what was your line?Read the whole thread about security..... that was not my line.
I see them, I'm just generally pretty thick skinned when it comes to that sort of thing, whether it's directed at "me and mine" or not. (Ref the joke someone posted that made fun of Ethiopia, several European countries, the US, etc.) Although I will freely admit I haven't followed the politics/world events threads all that closely, and I may have missed the nastiness in the referenced thread. All I remember was the same vague outline that PM posted, but I've been known to be wrong.Originally posted by faithinkarma
With respect MHopkins2, I think as an American you just don't always really "see" the posts intended to offend other nationalities. As a Canadian, I can tell you there were often posts making fun of Canadians. There were some particularly nasty ones aimed directly at me. I noticed and remembered those aimed at myself and other Canadians. I think it is just human nature to remember the ones that snipe at you, and not take them so seriously when they are aimed at others.
Thank you!Also, I would be seriously surprised if you were included in that "usual suspects' remark. It simply does not apply to you in any way, in my opinion.
