Here's where your problem is. You think you can predict the future. You think that you know how you would feel in some hypothetical situation. Let me tell you then. You don't. You don't have a clue. People do things all the time "they never thought they'd do". We're wrong, we can't predict the future, we can't predict our own behavior. For you not to know this is strange.
I'm not so sure it's strange. It is to me, but it's a lot more commonplace than you think. Just look at the divorce rate in Western countries for an example of that.

And while on the subject, Kyle have you noticed that you americanos on the internet customarily talk about places and events as if everything happened in your country? :p I've scarcely seen a yank say something like "in my country we..". And if something is happening "abroad" it's an aberration.
I never noticed but you could be onto something

what do you mean? provide an example
Er, I sorta can't. On Juventuz the american contingent is small, so it doesn't happen that much. But on sites where it's 50% or more, you have it.

But even open reddit. How many times is something tagged "US" as opposed to somin happening in the UK or France? If it says nothing, we assume it's yankland.

That's because the U.S. invented news. :pado:

This is the second time I see Dule and Martin bicker about this France and WE thing. Let me set it straight; you two have a completely different mental switch. One is a Serb, and we all know us Balkan's are nationalistic to the core(we have wars to prove it :p ), while the other is...well, citizen of Europe would probably be the best term. :D

Martin, trust me, Dule would never say "WE" for any other country than Serbia, no matter where and how long he lives somewhere else. Serbia is in his DNA and that's it. You on the other hand are the complete opposite.

I understand Dule completely, just don't feel strong about it as him. I would never cheer on another nation, but understand some can have such affections.

But Italy fanboys suck. France is aight. :p

Aye, you just fell into the same trap. Hate to see that happen. Oh well, better luck next time.
