I have anger toward your Imperial Government and its cheerleaders.
But having said that,America is the dunce of the world. It is just how you act and how other nations see you. It has been that way for a long time but its getting worse. The European MSM are not out to get you. It is popular opinion that America as a nation is unsophisticated. Its just the way it is.
And it is why many find your country off putting. You are not special. yet you all act like you are. Its very insulting to the rest of the world.

No, she didn't. YOU took it that way but she did not imply that in any way, shape or form.
Really? Why did she say the response was interesting?
I just linked you proof that what I was saying was correct.
What is interesting is that Americans will link something when they do not understand exactly what it means or bother to look into it.
After scrolling through 6 pages to try to figure out what in the world you were talking about... I saw finally where she said "interesting response though" concerning you taking a link about people accepting differences from a video as an antisemantic attack. She meant it was interesting that you would interpret it in that way. She was being nice as opposed to saying "What in the world are you talking about antisemantic, are you an idiot or something??" like I would say.
You are reading too much into it and making it into something it isn't.
"The Sneetches" was intended by Seuss as a satire of discrimination between races and cultures, and was specifically inspired by his opposition to antisemitism.[

Are you saying Im ant-semetic?
The star off machine would be a good idea for you guys. You are not special.
Not anti-Semitic. Interesting response, though.
The point of the clip, as you well know, is that BOTH groups should stop with the prejudice.
This is not a slam but an honest question. There's been multiple references made about threads where Americans bash Australians. Can you post links because I've honestly never read one of these threads and I'd like to see for myself.

So instead of watching the video, you decide to google it to see what somebody says it is about and come up with antisemitism, then assume that she is accusing you of being antisemantic... do you not see the error in this logic???

And she did not understand the cartoon or look into it.
I think you owe me an apology. You are wrong. I am correct

I link so you will believe me. Even though you still clutch at straws.

No, your response was not correct.
She understood the cartoon just fine, however, you found someone else's opinion of it instead of watching it for yourself.
You don't deserve an apology, but I can try to set you up for some reading comprehension tutoring if you like.
I'm not wrong, you are not right.
I tried to keep it short and simple so you couldn't get confused as you have shown you are likely to do.

I'm still trying though

And in addition I am very interested in antisemitism so I have come across this information before. It is not 'opinion' it is fact. Fact.

And yes I can. Wait a sec.

What Americans like to do is attack Australia by saying we mistreat Aboriginals. That is a lie. It is the only thing most Americans can think of to deflect constructive criticism of its government. I dont talk about how dumb you are or your culture much,I focus on your government. But that makes me anti-american by ATS logic. Instead of taking contructive,on the mark criticism on board,most Americans become defensive and search their brains for a counter. The mistreating Aboriginals is the straw they grasp at. Then convicts like your friend tried earlier.edit on 1-6-2012 by Germanicus because: (no reason given)

I have not seen a single post, anywhere on this site at any time that even refrenced Australia until this one, not even ONE! But you sure have done a lot to make it look bad in this one.

I gave you links mate
As for my comment interesting response...I meant exactly that. Why would you assume I thought you anti-Semite just bc I posted a Dr Seuss link? Although I hope it was sarcasm, because that's a huge leap otherwise.

Mighty nice of you, but I have no desire to read them. I just told you, I have not seen anything of the nature in the time I've been here (that means I am an outside source that wasn't in on whatever attacks you may have felt you have endured). That means that your feelings of being attacked by all americans and that all of them are "out to get you" aren't true, it's something that you feel based on conversations with a select group of other posters. (let me know if that was too difficult to follow, I can dial it down if neccesary)
