@ Go Beavers. Your still just pissed off because the Bruins kicked Montreals ass and are about to lay down another Canadien team. USA! Bring It!

I'd be willing to trade the Northeast for British Columbia, straight up.

Go Canucks! (I can't stand to see a Patriot's fan happy )

this drawn out conversation started because you thought i was expressing an extremist view and that you dismissed my comments about ignorance amongst americans as standard hatred-fare ... all we've gotten out of the subsequent conversation is that you will continue to treat it as such ... which again - is your choice to make ... all i was trying to get across is that my comments are not based on an underlying hatred or necessarily extremist viewpoint ...

We'll have to agree to disagree, because it looks to me like you have a big problems with America, and Americans. Maybe not every single American, but Americans in general. And I shouldn't call it hatred, as it is a strong word, but we easily piss you off it would appear. And I think you choose to focus on the negative, choose to believe negative stories, and only discuss those stories because it fits in with what you already feel. Now I don't follow you around the message boards to see what all you write, or clicked on your profile to see what all you say, but every time I open a thread it's you talking shit.

I'm not saying you should go around posting nice things about the old U.S.A. And many of the things you post about are valid. I admit America fucks up, but I don't focus on it all the time. All countries fuck up, ours are the most noticeable, and often affect the most people, so I see what you're saying. But I think you should at least look at why you focus on those things. I think you enjoy seeing America fuck up, because it's more fuel on the fire of what you already feel. And I'm also not saying that you should NEVER talk about it, that would be wrong as hell, but try to relax and find a middle ground.

And excuse me if I thought your comments about Americans being ignorant was hateful. It wasn't very nice, that's for sure. And as I said, I don't discount everything you've said just because I think you have a chip on your shoulder about America. Your own beliefs don't make some of them any less true. But I do believe that your arguments as a whole are influenced by it. What you choose to believe, talk about, and how you go about discussing it.

If you really want an "open discussion" you might want to soften your stance. Do you expect to have a civilized conversation with an American on any subject when you say some of the things you do, and as often as you do?

What are you confused about? You asked who has the inside information. Maybe you're confused about who is confusing you. Do you think others have more "inside" information than who I listed?

To me an extremist is somebody who is so wrapped up in an idea or way of thinking that they are beyond the point of having a rational conversation, seeing things in any other way, or allowing for a middle ground. Be it politics, religion, race, nationality, Star Wars vs. Star Trek, whatever.
