well everywhere you look there is nothing but appeasement . Even here in the states some incidents of kids being told not to display the American flags in school if there is potential of hurting someones feelings . Example are during cinco de mayo or some such holiday honoring made up foreign holidays . And American culture is downgraded all the time with people , libs and austrians asking , what is American culture . I mention 'austrians' because a guy from Austria [says his location is austria] asked that question somewhere in this or a different thread on this board kinda recently . Of course , I took his question to be insulting as if he as an austrian even knows what American culture is !! ------- Point is that its worse in Europe but the same sorta thing is happening here in the USA !!
