Gross generalization. I for one don't. BUT, I guess it just didn't enter my mind that people would want to hide their flag under a rock.

Will you respect our right not to hear you (generically speaking) keep on about it all the time?

Sorry but each time we have a discussion about things here that you did not know about you always seem to very surprised because "that's not how it's done in the States". I'm sure not all Americans are like that but after living in Oxford for 6 months and due to my job meeting MANY Americans every day, I certainly know that a LOT of them do the same.

To be honest that doesn't bother me. It's the "it must be a bad idea because it came from you (socialist europe, liberals etc)" attitude that I find hard to swallow.

Ultimately America has to and will make it's own decisions, I just wish they weren't so stubborn/arrogant about listening to advice/opinion.
