Let them choke if they don't like it.Ah yes, how to win friends and influence people. Frankly, you sound as ill-mannered and elitist as those British twits who sent letters to Ohio voters. It's people like you who make my job as an American businessman abroad, all that much harder. Do people in other countries have other viewpoints? You betcha! Surprise of the day: not everyone in the world thinks the same way we do... and we don't even all think the same way. I hope that since you are incapable of showing respect to other people in their country, you at least show respect to your fellow citizens at home.
Oh put a sock in it!
Americans don't harangue foreign visitors to the US about their perceived shortcomings, and we shouldn't have to put up with abuse from them. Americans are — thankfully — getting fed up and have decided that they don't have to drop trou, bend over and grab the ankles just because some foreign feces-fondler decides to get in an American's face and deliver himself of whatever half-assed conventional wisdom is making the rounds in his chamber-pot neck of the woods.

Well Mr. trying to impress me with your "business oversees." I'm far from an ugly american. I was over there because I purchased a soundtrack to a play that is coming over here, and If any of them think my American Flag and Bush shirt is elitist, they, like you can bite me!
"Ah yes, how to win friends and influence people."
The wise man seeks not the good opinion of fools.
No American should have to apologize for being proud of his country, nor should he have to silently suck up the contempt of a bunch of hate-filled twits. Translation: If you want to bend over, that's your business, but some of us would rather stand.
