I do. But I’m done with this conversation, you can keep your opinion, I stand no chance of changing it.
Locking myself out of this thread. Putting it on my mute list.

Let’s be careful about a political discussion spilling over into direct insults about groups of people.

Typical response by an American when confronted with the truth, unfortunately.

Don’t hold back, just let it all out.

There are questionable people in every single country in the world.
The conversation can be civil when dealing with touchy topics. Ignoring subjects or locking etc benefits no one. Communication is one of the best ways to learn and grow. But no one ever said it would be easy.
I may disagree with a large amount of people in the world but I am willing to listen and try to understand other view points.
The world needs to stop hiding its head in the sand and PC needs to go, it is stunting growth!

I had a slimmer of hope that this would be interesting and civil since the forum users here are surprisingly level-headed. Little sad it hasn’t panned out that way.
Truly this is not bad, I have seen bad…
People have a bad habit of using emotional responses over logical ones. It just takes practice!
I violently agree on the PC part, locking this thread would be silly, people don’t need to be protected from opinions.
This part though : [quote=“Grimmorith, post:87, topic:6700”]

only holds true when people are actually communicating, and not just voicing their opinions and trying to bash those of others, instead of reflecting on them.

I’m only repeating what most of the world thinks of Americans, and it’s nothing that hasn’t been said a million times over.
Don’t get things twisted everyone, I don’t hate America or Americans.
I tried to show data on my points, but the response was to ignore and run away. Not much else I can do about it.
I love sharing views and learning different views.
I answer any and all questions.
I must admit though some people can not handle my honesty and bluntness. It seems people enjoy being lied to more then when someone speaks their truth.(Or rheir view of the truth)
so the WHOLE world thinks Americans are Bigots. I think not and don’t see your point and not much about it is constructive
Actually you backed up your own opinion with “data” that consisted of a collection of more opinions of other people, there is nothing factual about that, it in no way makes your opinion any more valid.
It was obvious you wouldn’t budge in your point of view, and @Machiknight did the only classy thing possible, which was to pull out of a “discussion” that would not have lead anywhere but someone repeating their own opinion.
Your reaction then was to throw a lowblow after him and declaring yourself the winner of a discussion that wasn’t one in the first place.

This is really getting ridiculous. Are we really supposed to pretend that bigotry and xenophobia is an ill specific to America? Should I start posting articles from across the globe from Canada all the way to Japan that illustrate that both of those problems are alive all over?
I know it’s fashionable to single out the U.S. on that topic. But seriously… let’s just stop with the simplistic generalizations. Yes, America has a long way to go when it comes to equity. I know this very well personally. However, I also know these issues exist everywhere there are people of different shades, languages and religions.

When america is based on socialist practises but thinks that having a socialist president is like being a communist then i guess that makes all our socialist practises as bad as communist practises right? If you do not like socialism never call 911 or your regional equivalent.[quote=“TaliaParks, post:55, topic:6700”]

Why the environmental protection agency[quote=“Grimmorith, post:64, topic:6700”]
People would rather believe a lie they agree with than a truth they disagree with.

This is why sanders is losing. Name calling is designed to shut down a conversation and limit what knowledge needs to be passed. Goto sanders site and see just how transparent he actually is. [quote=“TaliaParks, post:65, topic:6700”]
America is a country founded by rebels who didn’t want to pay interest on loans

You mean pay taxes. America was formed out of taxes being too high and now look at us taxes are higher than they were when we left britannia.
I prefer facts and transparency. If someone is holding back i want to know why.[quote=“Ashasekayi, post:68, topic:6700”]
Does pretty much every politician lie?
[/quote]
We are so used to dirty politicians that we seek any dirt on them as possible even if a politician is clean. This is why sanders name is smeared as a socialist pig something americans were called by the nazis and commies of ww2.
Actually he is calling some of his female poloticains ugly and name calling them.[quote=“TaliaParks, post:72, topic:6700”]
I’d vote for Sanders probably. His views are closer to mine than the others.

If your reterik is close to that of a poloticain after looking at the facts and you think your reterik is correct then you should vote for who you see fit.[quote=“Grimmorith, post:87, topic:6700”]

As an american i will tell you most stereotypes of americans are kinda true as far as i can tell but we are not the american dad stereotype or the family guy stereotype. I dislike america cause it fails as a government because a government is supposed to protect and support its citizens not the other way around.[quote=“Ashasekayi, post:96, topic:6700”]

We are not all those things but it is easier to believe the easy lie than the hard truth and it taes more good things to equal the one bad thing.

One of the most interesting things I found of late is that almost everyone I know is sick of all of the people running for president.
I deal with wide variety of people and they are just so sick and tired of all the BS from all the parties. Times are changing, now only if the people would…

First off wow. Followed by Trump having 26% of votes in this thread. I hope this is some sick joke to get a rise out of people on the internet. It’s easy to vote on the internet, but not in the booth. I can never come back to this thread. #i’mout
I am unsure by this comment if you are for or against Trump. xD
