ouch lazs...this is the anonymous internet (unless you've met him at con)  I wouldn't call him elite.  Maybe elitist.  I mean hell, the guy is probably still in college fighting the good fight with the rest of the students around him.  Most of us went through a stage like that.  You're no elite until you're in my newspaper.

I think you are right monk.... probly we just get the ameristalkers here who are liberal left wingers.

This reminds of those gameplay threads Lazs used to start in General Discussion. Inane, inherently about stirring the pot and with all the wit of a Garth Brooks record on repeat.  

With all due respect, you're whining like a womenly man Lazs. While there are some that are rabidly anti-Bush, they are more than outnumbered by those who are rabidly zenophobic.

But I have to take issue with those who say you have not travelled. Lazs went to England once, went to some gay wine bar and was dissappointed by the women on show. He's travelled. He's seen the world!

never claimed to have seen the world dowding but... I will say that the people I met in england and Scotland didn't seem anything like you.

Seems in the end, as rabid and annoying as he was on the threads, and I fought with him on almost everyone....he was usually right.

Seems to be the case here, too.

Likewise, Lazs, likewise. The Americans I've met were nothing like you.

I realize it is a very small sampling of the world here but with the exception of say curval and beetle (who are money guys) the rest of the posters seem violently anti Bush.

How can Curval and I be "money guys"? I live on a tiny little island, Curval lives on an even tinier little island, and we don't have any guns.

FWIW, I think the recent attempt by the Guardian newspaper to influence the Clark County voting to get rid of Bush was utterly stupid. The Guardian is a left wing pinko paper. I wouldn't even wipe my arse with it.

John Major made the mistake of siding with George Bush (1) in the 1992 US election. When Clinton won, relations were strained between our two countries and many fences to mend. Bad mistake. Best not to meddle in the electoral process of another country.

Most Europeans see Americans as arrogant people, and most of them are, I do not mean this in a bad sense, but after living in the Japan, Iceland, & Netherlands. it's been the same every where I have went, Most Americans come across with "we are better than you" or we have the same thing but better," In the USA we do it this way" or "In America I can do this" etc...the biggest problem is no respect for way of life or other culture. it's our way or you are wrong.  

That is 100% spot on.
