We're not saying "all of the US population are this and that", we know the place's filled with lovely people (and there is no sarcasm in that, believe me, the people I admire the most in the whole world are American born, all of them, and I myself wish to move overseas someday because I truly believe the US is a great country to live in and has great things to offer), however, sometimes it's ok to joke around and admit the obvious, and by forbidding us to do so you are violating one of the core pillars of the whole American idea.  |
I am not sensitive about the US, but am sensitive about stereotyping and untruths spread about ANY persons or country. The fact is, on JF most of the time that is about Americans.
