Don't take this seriously

Very interesting article which, in the main , reflects my general views. It should be taken in context however with the size of the US. The name itself gives a clue , United States of America .Some of those states are bigger than the entire British Isles, so it would be an over simplification to generalise about the average American, even more so than it would an average Brit. Not only are there vast geographical variations, but , as now in Britain, they are from virtually every nationality. Which in itself has led to a general diversity in the people of both .There is no longer a typical American person, as there is no such thing as an average Brit anymore .Look at it a bit closer to home here in Udon . There are many of us from both living here . Who would you select from either as being the archetypal representative? You couldn't , we are all different from each other regardless of country of origin .It would be utterly stupid of anyone to castigate an entire nations population because we have come across one individual whose manners or whatever, we didn't like .
No , generalise all you like. I will still choose my friends by their own actions, not the country they happen to come from .But there is a lesson in this for us all . No man is an island, his actions and behaviour will be seen by some, as those of a person of his origin, whether its nationality or race, and accordingly his fellow men will be judged .

Nope. You probably said too much already

But hey - what a poor place the world (and this forum) would be without the "input" of conservative, right wing pundits. More power to Fox News, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin et al, and their sycophantic followers

You rarely warrant an answer - even as a refugee yourself
