Frankly, I'm sick and tired at everyone here who seems to have an agenda with the United States feel free to go off on tangents and criticzie our country, our government, our president, and its IQ of its people, yet the american particpants of this forum never say a bad word about anyone else's country or government, because God forbid if we did, we would be branded as the Ugly Americans that the majority of the people on this forum have us branded out to be anyway.
I've got news for you, Fabi. American particpants in this forum have to work twice as hard to get half the respect that some other people do, and its solely because of where we come from. they see "American", and they think we know nothing of football or the world, so there is already a negative connotation towards us.
