I realize this today because of some Democrat member who keep on pointing the finger about the fact that some member here are not American . I kind feel distrub about this like the NONE American are been look down at.
Give Your Opinion !
Of course it's better to be an American on an American message board, why would you think differently? lol. I've accepted long ago this fact and I don't mind people telling me to mind my own business once in awhile. It comes with the territory. As long as it's a fair comment coming from the right place.
As a Canadian (and a mistreated one by my own government at that), I think I'm as close to seeing how important our future is with the U.S as anyone. If they and their Values succeed, we will succeed also, especially if we share these values (even as I have been largely left out the last few years). Believe me, I've taken FAR more abuse from Canadians on Canadian boards than I have from a few Americans who feel (wrongly, in my opinion), that I am meddling our out of line.
As it were, Americans love their First Amendment and I'm inherently a Live and Let Live, libertarian, so it's good. I've learned over time, this is a very core aspect of the American system. Europeans and Canadians are more apt to want to silence opinions, encourage Groupthink and obedience, Americans don't (maybe citizens of the world should demand more of their governments in this regard?)
Thankfully, most Americans on this forum and others don't care about that. As long as you are reasonable and aren't overly critical of their country.
It's their country, it's a forum about their country. So at least support their basic Values. If you didn't, why be here in the first place?
