NO MORE AMERICAN BASHING !

My View on bashing of Americans,

Putting down or bashing of any group of people is not a nice thing to do and not very "Canadian".

But we and others often loose sight of the difference between the American Government and the American people.

So most of the time "American Bashing" is bashing of the government.

BUT with that said, the government is supposed to be a representitive of its people. But even though over 50% of American's voted for the current government i don't think the current administration is a good representation of Americans.

Americans should not be suprised or wonder why people from Canada or other countries might bash or have negative views of there country, its not rocket science...

The administration has made the fading popularity of the US very bad, from continuely disregarding international law, the UN and NAFTA to its military forign policy, all of which the US had leading rolls in creating!!!

This way the administration projects itself to the world, and someone wonders why people might have negative reactions to that?

So all over the world people have negative views of the US, but they also make the mistake of directly translationg those views of the administration to its people.

BUT and this is the big one, if the people of the US don't like the way people from other countries view them and sometimes treat them when they are abroad, THEY and only THEY have the power to change that. they can elect new government and force new policy. And communicate with people from other countries showing true American nature, like some of you American members do on this site all the time, showing us that most Americans arn't a reflection of the bush administration

The way the US acts externaly now though, its no surprice there is some American bashing going on here and literaly eveywhere. With that said this site does not promote or support American bashing, there are other sites that do.

Uncle Joe would have highly recommended that you attend this festival

American...CANADIAN! IT DOESN'T MATTER!.........

........Everything is made in China

Well they may not be bashing us (<cough>BS), but they are trying to kill us. Now we have Canadians in Iraq joining the insurgency of terrorists trying to kill Americans. They don't have the balls to come across the border and try it, so they do it in a sneaking way. Let's hear it for the Canadian Terrorists. Men of principle, men of the Islam Extreme.
