- I didn't specify you by name...if need be I will search back and find the
- appropriate articles. One of the ones I can think of off the top of my head
- was someone saying all Americans take a holier than thou attitude. Said
- that americans felt they were the nation chosen by god, wer the best nation
- in the world, etc. There were a few other similar articles. I cannot be
- sure of specific names unless I go back and look.
- But those artlces I read that said things like that were definately of the
- nature I described.
-
- >What I said was (and what should become clear, if you read my flame carefully):
- >1) That the biggest contingent of IRC Servers is from US
- >2) That most of them are there for EGO reasons (and so not really needed)
-
- Very true.
-
- >3) That most of the Ops in US are Ops for EGO reasons (and so not really needed)!
-
- Well this can be said for many places, not just the US...but obviously the
- US will have a high content because of your #1.
-
- >4) That most of the admins of THOSE servers and THOSE Ops think that US is
- > the best ... rules the world and this stuff.
-
- This is a BIG generalization. Find me some quotes and statistics please.
- I for one do not feel that way.
-
- >5) That most of THEM should consult a psychiater!
-
- Ah, an obligatory flame of some group for no real reason whatsoever.
-
- >1), 2) and 3) I think are facts.

- >I did NOT say:
- >1) ALL americans are morons/insane
- >2) my country is better than yours
-
- I never said YOU did. Someone did...do I have to go back and find the names
- for you?
-
- >I too, don't think there are any problems with being proud of my country,
- >but that doesn't mean that I close my eyes to all the things that are
- >bad (and every country has things that are good and things that are bad)
-
- The comments I was referring to had nothing to do with national pride of any
- nation...they were just attacks on nother nations for no good reasons.

-
- I don't disagree with you there...but making a generalization becuase of
- this one person is definately WRONG. NOt everyone is like this person
- (which is good)
