Wowza, I didn't know that this is such a sensible topic. Thought I'd share a good laugh, sorry if you are offended by the blog. No need to get your panties in a knot though, just don't read it.

Has it ever occurred to you that you are a "usual suspect"?

Why do you have to take that attitude?

because I get this stereotypical nonsense from the usual suspects on a daily basis.

well according to the usual suspects Im in good company. :yes:

Is there a problem that I don't see?

because this blogger tries to write it off as "having fun" while taking some low shots.

Well, if you can laugh about yourself, it certainly is funny.

Maybe I should have put a warning in the title to not read it if you don't have any sense of humor?

Dont take offence and you won't be offended. Nothing wrong with self deprecation.

Don't worry about it, I guess some people don't have a sense of humor. I guess a comment like "hey we should, you know, have better sidewalks" is equal to calling someone's grandmother fat on this board or something.

So the US as draconian alcohol laws, sidewalks that just end...Germany has draconian laws about symbols and violent video games. The UK has draconian laws too.

The thing is, you have to keep an open mind on these things, otherwise your just a brainwashed individual following the party line.

When people comment on things that are wrong with the US, how about instead of a knee jerk "Don't bash America" response. We actually recognize the problems and try to improve them. I know I know I'm speaking crazy talk.

Betti spend more time in the OT if you want to get a feel of this environment and then and only then will you get a feel for what it is that I was addressing in my first comment.
