    They can’t. They are incapable and only wish to spout hate.
    often and SC only wish to spout hate? did I read that correctly?
    Well one of them.... often got caught in the crossfire. Sorry often. 

    Just sick of this...tried to leave the thread and yet here you are quoting me and asking me a question :)
    because i have never seen often spout hate, which is why i asked. i don't think sc spouts hate either. i think he just spouts concern for his fellow humans, as many of us non-americans do here. 
    Well, there are really strange how some show concern :) and do only non-Americans show concern? I don’t think so.
    thats the Canadian Liberal Pearl Jam Militia at its best.  he "knew" the wording sucked, and "of course" it's not only non-Americans...

    but you still saw the post, right?  CLPJM
    yes, I paint 300,000,000 people all with the same brush. makes perfect sense. 

    look again at my post. I never said americans don't have concern. jesus. I mentioned non-americans since the original post I was responding to was aimed directly at two non-americans. 

    Don't even worry about it. He's ultra sensitive. When he very first saw the title of this thread, he got excited and entered it to gloat; however, he became disappointed when people- mostly Americans- weren't supporting the notion.

    He had never even stopped to think about any of the items detailing why people might not accept the idea of the US being the most awesome country in the world. He still hasn't stopped to think about them- he's scoffed at them. 

    Critical thinking at its finest! 
    we all know the answer, eh.

    the CLPJM never rests.

    Just for the record... place a question mark after your use of 'eh' and you're bang on!
    How many times a day do you think you say “eh”?
    I only use that phrase when I'm on my dogsled or waking up in my igloo.

    I knew I should have worded that differently. Of course it's not only non-americans who show concern. 
    I’m sorry, I just want everyone to be happy.

    £1.66

    But it is because they're not from the swedish Coca Cola (We do not have those Fanta flavours here) but imported from the US in some way.

    The normal "swedish" cans (Fanta or other) are £0,99 or 2 for £1.66 in this "candy store". In a supermarket a Fanta can would be I guess around £ 0.55

    I remember when I backpacked Costa Rica 25 years ago.

    We hit this little establishment in San Jose. The waitress came to our table and proceeded to take our drink order. Rob ordered an Imperial (cerveza). The waitress replied they didn't serve alcohol. We looked at each other... kind of astonished.

    Rob said, "Welp. I guess I'll have a Fanta."

    I laughed my ass off. Every time I hear the term Fanta... I think to that time.

    I believe that was actually from too much Sprite.

    Guilty!  Not the dyes, but the sugar.  I was just talking to C. about how I have to cut down on the sugar (again).  I'm an addict!
