To me they do.
What you find is that on american tv shows and films they are "portrayed" this way by american actors. And so the cycle begin
The average American doesn't have an anti-British attitude, so I have no good explanation for the reasons. Maybe someone in the entertainment industry can explain. You can always boycott those shows or ... get a lobby group :-)
Nonsense. Anti-Bush demonstrations are a dime a dozen over here.
Also "African-American color"! What colour is that? You can be African and white.
I don't disagree, but it's black Americans who insist on the designation.
apart from that, who cares?
Probably not. We don't have too many of 'em here.

Check out your own backyard before you start to judge us.... Might want to quit looking up with your nose so high since you are missing out what is right underneath it..

John, how old are you?
"I have had a few posts like yours. You miss the point, and attack others who say while you are generally a force for good, you are not a superior moral people."
When you can debate and have an intelligent conversation, I will address you. As far as having a "few posts" like mine, I beg to differ.....most of the posts back me up. I also noticed you weren't able to debate me on the sites I sent for you to read. Stick your head in the sand...still will be the same results.
Now I have better things to do than argue with you....I have my opinions and you have yours.
That does not mean that they were not Europe' best, bravest
and brightest!
Ship us out to America or Australia and look what happened.
Success!
Namecalling is done by the other side as well. Go to one of the Democratic chatboards to see what I mean. Yes, it does coarsen the dialogue, but most of the time it's just harmless venting.
I also know there are demos but can you honestly say if you went to the doors of the whitehouse and had a sign saying you hate Bush you wouldn't get your brains bashed?
Well, you can't get that close to the White House anymore, but if you think your brains are going to get bashed for carrying a hate-Bush sign on the south lawn, your paranoia is on overdrive. We've had pretty angry demonstations with folks from both sides of the issue and no one's had an unscheduled lobotomy.
Why not?
Bump
I can't speak for the rest of the country but, NO I don't
think that I am morally superior, as a matter of fact I
am sure of it.
you said: "Also, how do you define "old Europe"?"
Now you are just being cute and that is just ugly! 55555
I'm asking because I've got family in Europe and they seem to have some rather distorted ideas of what is going on here too.
