Unfortunatly the stereotypical American is a very loud one and so many who don't fit in to that get drowned out of the discussion. When we face them daily in the media at the hands of others, to have a stereotype turned around on them is to be expected.
Let me rephrase what you just wrote: Stereotypes are bad, but beacause I see them all the time... I'm going to buy into them. What do you mean "turned around on them"? Do you even know what you're talking about?
that man is a bad man. Those who follow that man are bad people. And it's a shame that soo many people see this guy and his ilk as the norm
No..you see this man and his followers as the norm. Most Americans think he's a moron. Do a little research before you go spouting off. Hell sparklydevil wrote an article about his coming to Detroit and how the community protested him back... and how the only people who were with him were his FAMILY.
Yes the way I worded it was kinda trite and for that I appologise.
Trite? No.. it was downright rude. You ripped on my knowledge of grammar, my intelligence, the fact that I'm a teacher...etc.
I just wonder how people would have reacted if I went down to Washington and burnt a flag in protest of the Iraqi war?
Texas v. Johnson. It's a Supreme Court case... do a little reading and find out how they'd react.
Most likely nothing would happen to you... or if it did, it would be by warhawk idiots.
