Nice try. But it doesn't apply.

Everything you said was also a [ I mean fluffing ] fail.

Just trying to show how sad you really are

Don't get too emotional, I wouldn't want my IQ to drop even more while reading your posts. To go through your dumb list:

1. Dont care. Get a few CIA or SFOD-D teams, murder Osama and his lieutenants and be done with it.
2. DO CARE - as should you. It's your only tangible way to assert your rights if your governments go totalitarian. Plus, why do you give so much shit to US over guns, when the Swiss have automatic assault rifles in their houses, hmm?
3. As long as the pricks coming here arent demanding sharia law to be instituted on every street corner, dont care.
4. Dont care, unless its my citizens.
5. Dont care.
6. Dont care, I already know the unbiased.

I want to get into this one in particular...

Okay, countries such as Great Britain have two different leaders: A political leader and a symbolic leader.  The political leader is open for criticism: People can attack Gordon Brown if they want, and it's reasonably acceptable because his position is deciding policy.  But if you start personally attacking the Queen of England... whoo boy... that's bad.  Why?  Because the Queen isn't a political actor: She's a representative of the nation, its heritage, and its tradition.  If you attack the Queen, you attack the country itself.

Herein lies the problem: The US doesn't have this.  We have a political leader, but our symbolic leader is also the political leader.  Thus, when you do attack the President, you essentially do the exact same thing as if someone were to personally attack the Queen of England.

Does that explain the issue?

Not really. I could give a rat's left testicle what other people think of Obama, Bush, or Jefferson for that matter.  I think standing by the position is more important. Which is why Nixon, Bush, and others should have went. They were the ones who shamed the office, and in an supposedly open society like this, you have no obligation to respect public officials beyond the extent to which you are required to respect any other citizen.

I think it's more of the personal attack arena.

(i.e. Bush is a moron. The Queen is a whore.)

1. 9/11

Probably because when Europeans talk about it there is usually the assumption it was our fault or we deserved it.

2. Guns

Gun control is a divisive issue here while it's been pretty much settled across the pond. 

3. Multiculturalism

We are one of if not the most diverse country in the world so race politics is a big deal for some. There are plenty of people who blame racism for everything and there are a number of people who have made a career out of it over here.

4. Human rights

European ideas about human rights are ridiculous. Americans don't have sympathy for murders and terrorists we recognize these people as scum.

5. Your presidents

I hate people who worship politicians.

6. Your history

I don't like being blamed for something my ancestors did. This is something other cultures don't seem to get. I'm not morally culpable for something that happened before I was born.

americans are far less active in politics then europeans; our voter attendance is horrible, #5 is crazy fail.

1) Because so many want to accuse Conservatives of faking it so they can damage conservatism.

2) Because Conservatives wanna be like Sweden and Israel and Liberals wanna be like England and Australia.

3) Because blacks deserve the right to call others racist names but no one can call them anything but master.

LMAO!! Good one Arocalex!!

You left out a few other things we are sensitive about....

1. American Football (so much better than soccer!)

2. Country Music (Cuz im proud to be an American....)

3. Our awesome muscle cars (who can insult a 68 Camaro? Come on!!)

4. BBQ'd ribs (Frickin delicious! if you dont like these something is wrong with ya!)

5. Justin Timberlake (Sexy, sensitve and yet so serious)

There are lots of other things we  are sensitive about, but we have the right to be! We will bomb your ass if you disagree!!

Arcolex a little thought for you.

Democrats play race card, were sponsors of slavery, even one of their hero's (FDR) was a blatant racist... Republicans freed the slaves, made equal rights, and our last VP has not been filmed making racist comments like the current one has.

Democrats are sensitive about race issues, they complain about percieved racism, Republicans say convict for real crimes, but everyone is equal so treat them equal. Democrats push for inequality in the name of equality.

US history with guns is that they stop tyranny. NOT ONE concealed weapons permit holder has ever committed a gun crime. When guns have been outlawed in cities gun crimes, as well as all crimes, went up. Yet this is put down because Democrats must either want to be criminals, aka the only ones with guns, or dictators who do not need to fear a populace which is armed.

Human rights, only Democrats seek to make rights out of everything. Republicans say the best rights were made over 200 years ago with a couple more recent Amendment additions.

The only ones who re-write history in this nation are Democrats.

abuse is subjective...
