there you go generalizing again. Which, as you point out, are free to do. Just like I'm free to respectfully point out the problems with those generalizations, which I am doing.
You say you will respect the constitution when the US respects other's. I'm not talking about the government. I'm talking about people.....like me. I respect other countries rights and laws, including Germany's. Just because you think our government sucks doesn't mean it's logical to extend that view to individuals. I don't know anyone who speaks of Germany as the shithole of Europe, it's misleading to suggest Americans usually speak that way about Germany because that's not usual or typical or prevalent from my view as an American.
