be careful NeilUK39... he had hissy fits with "firstly"... "whilst" and "favour" are likely to send him over the edge...

I can only assume that you have little experience of people from outside the US. Of course people are proud of where they come from but British people and actually northern Europeans in general, spend more time complaining about their own country than discussing just about any other topic. Stop being so defensive. |

shame they don't have passport eligibilty examinations... an understanding of american culture for immigrants wanting to become citizens is required, shouldn't the same be required before setting people loose in the world?
in a perfect world... |

Has it ever occurred to you that this question,"Americans please help me to understand" can't be answered, since Americans don't understand either. |

Oh god i dont know why i am bothering but here i go. I will type slowly so you can understand and i will help you by numbering the points for reference.
1) Who is being inconsistent and on what subject? I agree you are very consistent, that being consistently ignoring anyone elses point of view, ignoring anyone elses view and not understanding the discussion.
2) What the fcuk are you on about 'placing the burden on Americans' what burden?
3) 30 min drive you llive within 15 different communties, must be a bit crowded
4) never been defensive if i have please show me where anyone has got defensive on this thread about their country.
What are your issues Potentiated, you seem to have no logic at all to your arguments, you rant off off to every post you reply to, really mate ( i use mate as it only offends you) i will say again, for the last time the OP was asking for opinion from an American point of view, maybe i should of called it 'Rational intelligent americans please help me understand', which by default you would of been excluded.
I enjoy the banter with intelligent people of voting age but as you are neither I was considering placing you on ignore but actually quite enjoy watching you make a total arse of yourself. |

Indeed...should be, "Canadians please help me understand". You see, Canadians are closest in many respects to Americans (without being inside the U.S matrix). We can peer into the bubble and report back to the world with objectivity.
So....here is the answer the OP is looking for:
BRAINWASHING.
Brainwashing requires "the message" to be constantly pumped into the minds of the people to be effective. In the case of the U.S presidential elections, it takes 24/7 media bombardment for the people to believe that the candidates are actually different from each other in any significant way....while of course they are not. They are both pawns of the CFR and the elite "money-master" that control us all.

You are so right.
There ought to be a qualifying exam.
Lederer and Burdick must be forgotten.
Edited to make more sense now that the other posts have been moved. |

Back to the OP. If you want a look at a fair reporting of each party then try to find FOX News. Otherwise you must suffer through the one-sided political viewpoints and mudslinging of CNN. With all this keep in mind that the President is only the puppet of the US Congress. The House and Senate are the ones with two-thirds control over the government. |

The only thing more biased than the Fox Network is the Daily Show - which is on the Comedy Network |

LifeMage, stop with the anti-American Pro-Canadian rubbish. Its a little too cliche. Your too smart to be one of those proud anti-American Canadians. Thats a lame trip. You got your own problems there. |

JerJer, I thought the evil smilies ""
were a clear enough sign that I'm simply having fun and stirring shite up!?
But I guess I was wrong.
From now on I'll switch to multiple razz smilies " ". |

NeilUK39, will you please confirm receipt of aforementioned PM? Then run like hell!
BTW... where did the rest of this thread go? Just tucked in to read it from where I left off and BAM... "the post does not exist."
Must have been juicy since it doesn't even reside in the pit!!! |

No didnt get any pm, magnolia. Most of Potentiated posts have been binned, didnt get particularly juicy, just the usual going around and around in circles. I think that he was to busy doing laps in the shallow end of the gene pool to take any notice of anyone elses point of view. But hey ho. |

Simplified Engish is used to America as it was a great way to help illiterate people learn the language.
Does it matter if you Americans use favor and the rest of the world uses favour? |

now if that P-poster wanted to pick on anti-american sentiment, the above, above post would work (sorry SatelliteTV). he has demonstrated the nuance of american bashing quite well.
if you are going to get bent out of shape over words that are used on a regular basis then perhaps you should look at posts like STV which are, in fact, far more insulting. |
