You must have one odd definition of rudeness then. Maybe you should go read the referenced thread, and quite a few others within this forum.

I know far more Americans who bitch and moan about the government, gun culture and America in general that I have ever seen on here. Should they have their citizenship taken away? I was told when I moved here by a lot of Americans that I should get used to the way Americans complain like it’s their job, are arrogant and self centered and generally intolerant of anything or any culture that they personally don’t do or don't agree with. That's not me saying that, it is people who have lived here all their lives, are citizens, put their flags out but don't see the country through rose tinted glasses. I live here, I complain about the same things I complained about when I was in England and I don't think it's any better or worse than any other place I have lived.

One line you said made me think. "Respect the culture of the country you have chosen to live in. It is foolish and disrespectful to expect things to be the same as where you came from and beyond crazy to expect it to change just to make you more comfortable."
Lets ask some Native Americans what they think about that.

Whatever, Fig.

Now I'm off to work helping to defend your country.

That's right - one of the vilest of immigrants you feel this country doesn't need or want actually does something for America.

Don't you have something constructive you could be doing?

No? Then have fun working up an aneurism while I'm away.

I think you interrupted him. He already had four consecutive posts talking to himself. How rude!

Lion in Winter

Warning. This is not going to be a rational argument. Severe waste of time risk. Check last night's thread.

britvic

Oh yes please I'll have some tickets also!!! Put your money whare your mouth is

Lion in Winter

Maybe he could get us a package deal?

dbj1000

Yes, yes, but where's the money? After all, you offered, and as you have told us many times, you never lie.

I read Expats every day, like I said LUV IT

One big difference is that they are Americans so they have a right to complain. Thing is Americans complaining doesn't even begin to approach the British way of complaining that you are all so proud of.

So I see the country through "rose tinted glasses?" I haven't discussed anything majorly critical about my own country and that automatically makes me someone that is looking through "rose tinted glasses?" What kind of critical thinking is that??

You just did.

Please everyone, let's make a deal.... when we go to the zoo we won't make fun of the monkey in the cage, point out the large penis on the elephant or FEED THE TROLLS.

Bob let's close this one before we get another 40 pages of headbanging, please put him out of his misery!

Good for you but we did just fine before you ever came along. If you left you wouldn't be missed. Certainly your attitude wouldn't.

I'm sure you are also getting well paid for you services. That's probably one of the reasons why you are here.

Fig Newton

Yes, do.

Fig Newton

With all of you in one plane the flight attendants would commit suicide.

Fig Newton

No, I don't. If I could be sure your kind would never come back to my country I'd pay for your fares in a second.
