I think, to many generalizations are being made. there are still good people in America. here is a little story, two years ago i was in the states playing baseball, i was playing for a Japanese's university team, traveling through th US playing tournaments. We played a tournament in Kentucky, and one of the teams we played, they were from Alabama, started throwing at the Japaneses kids, and running our catcher. You want to know what their motivation was, Pearl Harbor.

Again, I have traveled to 46 of the 50 states, and am basing my argument off that. You are probably basing your defense of Americans off of your interaction with those in a very small section of this country, NW Washington, so please don't call me a moron. Your arguments are more generalizing than mine.

True, lizzie you need to come down South for awhile and see all the red-necks with their confederate flags and bumper stickers on the back of their trucks that say 'the south will rise again'

Like I said, I love this country, and by the way, RezZ, who would be in a better position to judge how they feel about most people?
Me - a truck driver who has been to every state excluding Maine, North Dakota, Alaska, and Hawaii, or you? I don't know much about you, but trust me, I have been driving over the road for about 2 years, and I am basing this thread off of my experiences with every area of the U.S. Some parts are better than others, without question. I'm sorry to burst all of your bubbles. I'm sure all of you wish you could live your lives, and fantasizing about the way you want things to be, as opposed to the way that they actually are, and never receive any interference from someone like me, but I'm allowed to speak my mind, and until one of the moderators ban me, I will continue to do so.

I have been in the military and was raised in a military family. I have LIVED all over the country and traveled to other countries for 30 years. From my experience the most polite and honest people come from Texas. Never have I felt more welcome and safe then when I lived there. In your whole 2 years driving truck across the country, what areas do you tend to stop in? Mostly not to far from highways? Sticking mostly to metro areas? Of course you have to go through smaller areas to get to the cities, but how often do you stop there? There are plenty of good people in this country, just the same as any other. Your experience must have been different than mine. I could also say that my experience says that truck drivers are all smelly perverts. I can say this because I have worked on a lot of trucks and the drivers tend to smell bad and solo drivers tend to have quite a bit of porn in the cab.

I will be sure to censure myself here, and make sure I'm not being too anti-American. I'm just
going off the way I feel about most Americans. You were probably defending most Americans, but I'm glad you can open your eyes and realize that maybe not every American is much like the ones you've met, and Sweet Nothing you're right the South is generally very creepy. By the way, I hope your not defending their actions, or that would be incredibly irrational discrimination, unless they did research before the game, and determined that not only were these Japanese kids somehow related to those who perpetrated the attacks at Pearl Harbor, but also were very proud of them, and would further encourage that type of behavior.
It just goes to show how blind and irrational some Americans hatred of other countries is.

If you hate your country so much, get involved and at least try to fix it.

Right, My argument is full of generalizations, mine. Am I the one saying that all Americans are ignorant, dumb, liars? Am I the one basing my whole argument solely on my experiences with people in America, and not taking anything else into account? No, thats you. You are the one being incredibly ignorant and dumb for saying such things about the 300,000,000+ people living in America. Maybe all the people you have met were liars and cheats and everything else, but have you personally met all of the people living in America? Have you talked to them all and learned all about there opinions and views? No, and just because you have been to 46 of the states doesn't mean you can say such thing about a whole entire ****in nation.
You are generalizing, plain and simple
