Gregor's post was rather inflammatory. I won't say it's not true about some Americans, but is it really necessary to use a negative blanket generalization like that in a community that includes quite a few Americans?
The truth is, we could make negative generalizations like that about the population of every country in the world. It just so happens that most of the world hates Americans right now. In a few years, the rest of the world might be hating some other country and loving Americans... you never know.
Anubis, I know you said that many Americans could be like that, not all, but I really think Gregor's post was better left dead.
And as for government policies, it should be mentioned that our economy sucks right now, and it's really difficult to get and keep a decent job.
Sigh.
