And to pre-empt in case you take this as a drive-by... that's not me calling you a shit-stirrer, just remarking that post was a bit shit-stirry. Those with a lack of brains will jump on that much like they have with bladeracist's nonsense with the fake nicks.

You're right. I do have a shit stirring tone to my posts with anti-Americans. Sometimes I'm overly vague about that and use the word "euros". I do the same with Canadians too, btw, you prolly noticed. I apologize.
My take on it is that there is more finger pointing at USA than less here at GFY and by peoples that don't publicly look inward at their own country's issues.
What's worse, is there is a generalization that Americans don't care and give trump a pass because somehow trump is still POTUS. And they finger point -> why haven't I personally done something about that because they don't agree with trump.
Not only that, but there is a lot going on in the world, everywhere, that would lead to good discussion here. FOr example, we talk about global warming and it is invariably about stupid Americans deniers, but what about canadian climate change liars, we don't see those threads here. We should if climate change is as important as we all act like it is. What about the EU being headed towards a massive crisis, nothing.
It seems to me that many, not most, europeans and canadians overlook those things, being distracted by trump. Is it less?
we all live in nations with positives and negatives.
