	Attacks on americans Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

Why do americans always get run down in these forums? It seems like whenever a non-american has the chance to attack americans, they will take it.

Here is a recent example:

Bugs-

quote: Let a couple of Falun Gong adherants try stowing away into Portsmouth on a boat and the Little Englanders start foaming at the mouth. Bastards.

Stefu-

quote: What are "Little Englanders"?

Bugs-

quote: Flag-waving ignorant bastards who remain spititually rooted in 1950.

Krazyhorse-

quote: So what you're saying is that they're Americans?

Krazyhorse was out of line with this comment IMO. I can laugh at good-natured jokes between americans and europeans, but stuff like this is just mean-spirited.

Im not trying to single Krazyhorse out or suggest that he is the worst offender, this is just an example of what happens far too often IMO.

It didnt take long after 9/11 for this kind of crap to start up again did it?

KrazyHorse doesn't like Americans because they think too much like Albertans politically.

Face it - America is like France. Big easy target it's impossible not to take a potshot at.

Yeah, man. What's important is that if any of these foreigners (or Subjects of the Great American Empire as I like to call them) ever get out of line - BAAM - we launch a couple cruise missles, blow up a couple aspirin factories, and tell them to behave themselves. Or else we'll increase tariffs again.

Mind you, our beloved favourite US-hating Eurotroll seems to have changed his style so you don't have him to suffer the irritation of.

And no, I don't need to mention his name, do I?

KH is too busy sending out more Canada Geese as part of his plan to help Canada conquer the world.

LOL! I laughhed at the "anti-American" exchange. That was funny

God, will people stop using 11/9 - 9/11?! It got old and died. Just seeing those numbers makes me irate - its been used as an excuse for everything.

Just because of that tragedy it does not mean people should change their political perspectives. I mean it was awful but its been so overused it means nothing anymore.

Chris62, the Brits are on the Americans side, not continental Europe's (who we dislike but have to force ourselves to work with).

Cause it's just to damn easy

And because you started a thread about someone's anti-American troll, it seems to be working. People troll to get other people to respond. The more response, the better. An entire thread about a single line posted by a troller is the best reward you can give him.

Thanks Caligastia!! Cause of people like you, the trollers can survive! cali

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees. That's obviously why this is a thread started by an American complaining about insults?

UK pro US?

Don't know about that. But they certainly don't like Bush. Recent polls (posted in Newsweek) show that 48% of all Britons have a negative view of Shrubya. 38% a positive view.

(country, positive, negative)

Italy, 46%, 26%
UK, 38%, 48%
France, 26%, 51%
Germany, 19%, 50%
Spain, 14%, 44%

Note that Italy is more pro-Bush than the rest of Europe, including Britain. Also note that giancarlo's claim that Spaniards like Bush is total bullshit, since Bush is least popular there.

How is Bush least popular in spain when 51% of people in Frogland hate him while only 44% in Spain do?
