Anybody wanna touch this topic?

Thats kind of irrelevant. First off I dont think many europeans have blanket labled americans as the "scum of the earth". I dont think real life can ever be as black and white as that. I hate many things about america, e.g. the fact that they have been involved in comming up 60 years of imperialist war with the third world, the KKK etc etc etc but that doesnt mean I hate all americans and nor does it mean I hate everything about the american state. It certainly doesnt mean I dont think there are any problems in any other part of the world.

For the past few years crazy megalomaniac americans have been slammed with insults from Europe, not all americans. The religious right have been criticised. The Bush administrations have been criticised. The corrupt corporations have been criticised and even the racists have been criticised. These are the exact same sorts of people who should be criticised and destroyed when they gain any kind of power in Europe. Nati0nalism is overrated.
