[proud American in Canada]

"Neither do the English soccer hooligans, and I guess you stereotype all the English as having no class."

There's a BIG difference here... Let's assume for one the sake of argument that the English would boo the Americans and chant "Osama" over and over... (they would not, however).

But the English aren't sending over vast hordes of their population, taking over American culture, refusing to integrate within it, having children for the purpose of staying in the U.S., and sending back U.S. dollars to their families. That's why it's insulting and outrageous.

It's the same reminder we had with Canada last spring--the U.S. dollar is fine... but the country that comes with it is not (according to them).

Fine... they want Osama to obliterate us... then they need to stay home.

And you know that how? I wouldn't doubt that some English hooligan would say that, and I wouldn't stereotype the whole Engish people as being the same as that hooligan.

Not even the French would do this. In fact, when the US played in a tournament in the United Arab Emirates this summer, I didn't hear any reports of this kind of behavior. Only in radical islamic countries and in Mexico. Hmmm.
