<div id="ygrps-yiv-500255325">Well, if you see some writing that you find tasteless, and are not <br/>
trying to disprove/defend, then why reply to such writing at all?<br/>
<br/>
I&#39;m not seeing anything bad about this. This is not racism or <br/>
anything. Just statements about a society, not prejudice. Just like <br/>
there&#39;s nothing wrong with saying that black people have black skin. <br/>
What&#39;s wrong is discriminating them because of that. And it&#39;s usually <br/>
not the rest of the world that discriminates America, but the other <br/>
way around, because of the so common American ignorance about the <br/>
world. <br/>
<br/>
Even your own foreign policy. How many Americans know what exactly <br/>
Bush did in the last few days? A newspaper person down here said they <br/>
were gonna put the NATO thing in the front page, but then though &quot;oh, <br/>
nobody knows what NATO is&quot;. So, if the Americans are giving up on <br/>
Americans...<br/>
<br/>
And, heck, no one is saying that this ignorance makes you a BAD <br/>
nation. People are just simply amazed at it. I know I wasn&#39;t waiting <br/>
for any replies. If I was gonna do a discussion whether Americans <br/>
rock or suck, I surely wouldn&#39;t be doing it in Boundarypoint</div>
