Please go back and read your post. You cannot possibly believe that saying "I wish the people in the U.S. would mind their own business" and "Canada's government doesn't see this as a problem.. if they did, they'd do something about it." are not uneducated, generalized statements. They are.
Edit: I referred to your experiences as "limited" based on the ignorant statements made and views expressed in your post. Just so you know where that came from. You're correct in stating that I know nothing of your actual experience. I can only infer based on what you post. | |

kudos:3 | I love how you left off the word "apparently" when you quoted me... nice try.
And me wishing American's would mind their own business is very valid and MY opinion - don't like it, move on. But flaming me over it won't fly. It DOES bother me because it's a well known opinion felt world wide where the United States does try to push it's own values on to others. We, in the U.S., don't like that women don't have the same rights as men, in some countries, and we want that changed.. the bottom line is that THEIR culture.. as much as we may not like it, who are WE to change their ways... and by force sometimes. If you can't understand what I'm saying, then you won't get anything I'm saying because it confirms to me that you DO believe in imposing your views on to others.. in fact, that's what many people do here on BBR all the time. The ONLY view that matters is the collective's here which doesn't always represent the views of the rest of us. Just because you think it's "the best way" as is often said doesn't mean its the right way. And yet, people here want their views to be "THE" predominant view because it's right and works for you.
You also think my views are ignorant.. maybe I think yours is idiotic, but I don't feel compelled to tell you that do I? .. again, you just drive the point home when I say that people feel the need to impose their views on others. I do believe I have the right to say my mind here and did.. so who are you to jump all over me and add NOTHING to the conversation other than "blatantly flaming" me?
If you're going to feel empowered to judge me by a single line posted on a forum, do yourself a favor and don't.. it's not possible to be empowered enough to judge someone from so little.. so next time, save us both time and just move on. I'm told that many times here by the shadow covered moderators.. maybe that's some good advice for you too. | |

| said by fiberguy:whole bunch of ignorant statements regarding America, Americans, and me Look pal, I'm not here to flame or troll you. I'm just trying to drive home the point that just because some may think the Canadian govt would be all over this IF they saw it were a problem does not actually mean this is the case. There are a plethora of cases where there have been actual problems and the appropriate government, while aware of them, did not act. This happens world wide. This can be due to the fact that the problem is too politically volatile to tackle, too difficult to overcome with the current state of affairs, or any reason really.
Not all Americans want to impose their will or their views on other countries, and I dare say the vast majority fall in to the category of those who don't. Debate is part of posting your opinions on the Internet my friend, and I would certainly never ask anyone to save their time and move on as opposed to letting me know what they think. | |
