Concerning insulting countries, well, I´m sorry if you felt that I have insulted you as a person. I didn´t. My whole anger was mainly directed towards him, as I already said, I´m sorry if I offend anyone. Nevertheless, there is at least small truth in everything.
Americans tend to be ignorant of the world around them, and I can partly understand that, because it is a very big and wealthy country. You don´t have to understand the rest of the world. You don´t have to acknoledge international laws. You can anonymously torture people, and no oher nation has the guts to stand up against this. You don´t have to acknowledge international agreements to decrease pollution and stop earth warming. You still have the barbaric death penalty. Power corrupts, and leads to decay. And the frustrating thing is, if you go down, you are going to take us all with you.
I know that by saying "you", I mainly refer to your administration. But then again, who voted for them to be elected TWICE?
...Umm, unless I got something serious wrong, Canadians also live on the American continent. Technically, you are a citizen of the USA. Yes, people mainly call you Americans, but technically, I could also call a Canadian an American. As you can call me an European.
........No, you are not an ignorant American. You are a non-ignorant American. See the difference?
I never said that all Americans are ignorant. But many of you guys take a lot of things for granted. You are not used to be critized by others. You can´t handle it, because you don´t have to... ...yet.
Again, I´m sorry if I offend anyone personally. Perhaps I´m kind of ignorant, too now. Maybe, there is perhaps more in common than I thought. At least, I am somewhat able to reflect on this.
Sorry Vigo, but you don't get to say things like "You are probably American, and will most probably never set foot on another continent besides your own. And if you do, the first thing you will do is heading to the next McDonald´s, avoiding exposure to too much foreign culture mixing up your precious little brain." and then try to avoid responsibility for what you've said by saying something lame like "sorry if I offended anyone".
You made a gross generalization about Americans, and my response to you was way more polite than it should have been, and yet instead of apologizing, you went on to hurl some more insults at Americans?
I don't assume that all Germans are Nazis, (and I've been to Germany, BTW, and my Grandfather was of German extraction- although he still fought in WWII to defend Europe against the Nazis), and I find it as offensive for you to call Americans "ignorant" as I'm sure you do for someone to refer to Germans as "Nazis".
(Also, yes, you got something "serious wrong". Canadians are NOT referred to as "Americans" they are "Canadians". Mexicans also live in North America, and are referred to as "Mexicans"). Maybe if you had ever set foot in Canada or Mexico you would know that.
It's too damn bad if you don't like George W. Bush - what he has to do with someone correcting your spelling I guess makes sense only in your own brain.
Someone who comes from the country that invented bratwurst has a lot of nerve criticizing "fat" American food. Originally posted by: VigoDid I say that all Americans are ignorant? Now YOU are being ignorant. An ignorant American. See what I mean?

Well, telling a fat lady that she is, in fact, fat, is an insult, correct. A honest one, though.
...and would be extremely cruel and rude.

Statistically, you are in fact the "fattest" nation on the planet. Everything concerning food coming from your culture is "fat fat fat". Does this say that all of you are fat?

I guess in Vigo's mind, we're all fat, lazy and ignorant.
