Bill rather than say words that nobody can debate against how about maybe starting a discussion?
Believe it or not the US is not a perfect nation, far from it. And if we are being ignorant over certain matters, perhaps show us how, because my opinions are formulated over a number of years of viewing documentaries, reading articles, books, watching films and just reading the news.
My nation also is far from perfect and I am happy to say so.
I get accused of making sweeping statements, but mods who close threads because they feel it is an attack on their nation to me is also a sweeping statement, and not allowing yourself to perhaps talk about stuff like this.
I'm not the only one who thinks so, but perhaps get into trouble because I don't just accept it.
It's nothing personal against any of you Americans, but it's frustrating when you flatly refuse to discuss anything because you don't like what's being said.
