Why do you care so much about US politics and why not ever discuss your own countries politics on here? Also, how would you like it if people from around the world sat on here and made fun of your little countries or Islands or whatevers leaders? Why not show respect for other countries like we Americans show respect for your countries?
It pisses me off how the foreigners of this board are so damn disrespectful of Americans. Bush and McCain are good men, why disrespect them when you are not even an American? You don't see Americans talking about other countries politicians disrespectfully on here.
I was going to reply, ...but pretty much everything I was going to say has been said already in this thread, and in some cases, probably with far more diplomacy than I most likely could ever muster {lol} so I will simply address this one point that hasn't yet been covered. Danielson, please don't take it personally. A criticism levelled at Bush or McCain is a criticism of Bush or McCain. I know alot of people seem to identify with others, and see any criticism or praise of those they identify with, as a criticism or praise of themselves, ...but it's not. Trust me on this. When a football player wins the heisman trophy, it's his. I don't get to take his trophy home with me, and basking with pride or the "glow of victory" isn't mine... no matter how hard I may have rooted for him. By the same token, when a politician you support messes up or causes controversy, it's his baggage to own. Please don't try to take it personally. (guilty consciences not withstanding)
Try to Have a Great Day!
ps: Some of us may not be American, but we have many loved ones and family members who are.
I myself have a tonne of relatives who are all American and I am concerned for their future. I just recently heard from my favourite cousin who has recently surfaced. He works for the State Dept and has been serving his country for years overseas on assignment in the ME. For the past 7 yrs we didn't know if he was dead or alive. Thankfully he's no longer in the ME and is now working at a US embassy overseas. The decisions made by US leaders affect not only every person on the planet, but also the lives of Americans, both at home and abroad. So there is cause for concern. As well too, in other countries there is a tendency for the population to be more politically active as well as informed about issues regarding their neighbours on this planet, more so than the US population.
pps - There's a lot of disrespect being shown on these boards, far more than needs to be and the majority of us have been guilty of this at one time or another myself included, ...some to a greater degree than others.
ppps - Neither Bush nor McCain are
NOT America. Dislike of those men does not equal the hatred of America.
