I don't think Haystacks meant it to be in the slightest, though. All he was trying to say, I believe, is that there is help out there and job opportunities, etc..[/QUOTE]
Please let's not turn this into country bashing, but this is exactly what I meant, in that there is "help out there and job opportunities", in MOST (at least Western countrys) and NOT just in the US. However, that does NOT prevent some 'decent' people from falling between the cracks.

No American bashing on my part Mr.Calhoun/Erin. I just pointed out that your society (like my own - but for different reasons) is NOT perfect. It was not meant to be given (or taken) as an insulting.

The connoted underlying meaning?? Based on the surrounding context from which this quote was pulled, I think its readily apparent that by that he meant that many jobs and opportunities are available in the U.S. You find this "insulting and patronising"? Perhaps you should dust those chips off your shoulders. There is no need bashing someone's homeland with pseudostatitics simply due to your misinterpretation of their statement.[/QUOTE]
Wait a minute. I am on Record as saying:
"Sorry Haystacks... And I guess I may be picking you up wrong here, (in that case I apologise in advance), but America is NOT the only 'good' country in the world... Please let's not turn this into country bashing".
and;
"No American bashing on my part Mr.Calhoun/Erin. I just pointed out that your society (like my own - but for different reasons) is NOT perfect. It was not meant to be given (or taken) as an insulting".
Furthermore, I stand by those statements. NO American bashing on my part.
This is the internet after all, and we do not have the non-verbal cues to deduce the subtlety of meaning, but what I took from Haystack's message was "This can not happen in God's wonderful country of opportunity - and therefore, it is the individual's own fault".
If I read this incorrectly, then perhaps he could have written it better, as after all, that is what the gist of his thoughts are, "It's all Arlene's fault and not our politcal systems".
I still feel that to say - this line of reasoning is NOT automatically true, and that sometimes ideologies CAN and DO fail individuals, (just because this is happening in the US does not automatically make it Arlene's fault), and that sir, I see as neither a chip - nor an accusation.
IT is NOT anti- American to say that it is a BAD system whereby your country will not employ one of its subject's because of poor credit ratings, and I am sorry that you take it so personally, but frankly, if you refuse to see the negative sides of your own political system, then that does not make me the anti-Bush bogeyman.

THIS IS AMERICA...and we have no general admission for the Queen shows..*sigh* And, no free health care is a bitch, as well..;-)
I am sick and tired of people who think that all Americans are selfish, fat, greedy, arrogant right wing nuts.

To deny employment to folks with poor credit would constitute a "BAD system", as you say. However, this is not the case. This may be Arlene's case, but this is not my case nor the case of the rest of the U.S.

I apologise for getting people's backs-up, and ofcourse what you say is true, and I agree with YOU, But what else do you expect when someone writes:
Either quit whining, get off of her ass and make something out of her life, or be banned from Queenzone.... This is AMERICA, for Christ's sake... If you cannot make it here, where the fuck do you expect to go and make it???"
Perhaps a little compassion or sympathy for our (your) fellow man would help redress the balance? Or is this to be seen as another criticism?

As a Social Worker i keep my thoughts about USA...
And i think Welfare is misunderstood in your country... the people you call "leech" is in tahta way 'cause they don't have opportunities to get job, and the government HAVE TO take care about their problems (the "leech" you mention).
That's why i'm still thinking that Bush and all the people in USA should start to think about how improve jobs and finance all the people who live under welfare.
And finally, when i'm calling all yankees are selfish, arrogants, killers, etc. is for the image that Bush show outside his country.
Cheers.

It seems I have hit a rock and a hard place - so to dig me out of this hole, let me just say this.
My replies were NOT meant to be a choice between supporting Arlene on the one hand - at the expense of the USA on the other.
Nevertheless, having a US citizen asking for her to banned from Queenzone, artificially polarises the argument. So support for Arlene somehow becomes skewed as Anti-American.
Can I assure everyone that this is NOT the case, I am NOT Anti-US.
But, I do not agree with Mr. Calhoun's view either, and if that appears to be bashing sacred US constitutions, then sorry, I will continue to do so.

Well, Maruga. That's exactly what's wrong with you. By saying ALL you're generalizing EACH and EVERY SINGLE American (Estado Unidense, como quieras llamarle).
Look, I was born in Colombia and I'm more than fed up with generalizations about people. I'm fuckin' fed up with people who think that all Colombians are violent, dishonest, and drug-dealers. Now that I'm an American citizen I also get fuckin' fed up with people who think that ALL Americans (as you said) are arrogant, selfish, and stupid.
Look, say all the shit you want about Bush, but you should start realizing that NOT ALL Americans support Bush. Keep in mind that nearly half of the country didn't vote for him in 2004. Now his approval rating is 38%, which means that some of the Americans who voted for him are actually coming to their senses.
Sadly too late, because we still have to undure 3 more years with that fuckin' idiot.

Mr. Jingles:
Let me write some words in spanish...
Hasta cuándo Bush se va a meter en otros países y empieza a preocuparse de los pobres de su país en vez de inventar malditas guerras. Si tú eres colombiano, debes conocer perfectamente el "Plan Colombia". Y no sólo Bush se ha dedicado a intervenir, sino que en el pasado intervinieron en Chile, para sacar del gobierno a Allende, el "Plan Cóndor" (para exterminar a "la mugre comunista" de los países latinos), etc.
And other words in english, for other people:
I know not all the people vote for Bush, but you're all stupids for let him be president. On his first period he won maliciously to Gore. And you all the people shouldn't let him be president under deceits.
