Anti-Americanism 'feels like racism'

Go away. I'm done pooping on you for now. I want someone actually capable of intellectual debate. Unfortunately, those people typically in agreement with me. :sigh: "Everything I listed is intended to eliminate the tyranny of the majority." -Vincent Reynolds on American Democracy
To clarify my comment: like Judaism and Christianity, Islam is considered an Abrahamic religion. Wow, I bet it's going to be really hard to find someone prepared for an intellectual debate at your level. In lieu of that, I suppose you'll continue to scream and throw feces at those outside your cage. "Pooping" on them, as you call it. Enjoy.

That's the one. Bad picture, though. "Everything I listed is intended to eliminate the tyranny of the majority." -Vincent Reynolds on American Democracy
Yeah, she looks kind of dorky on that one. There are other and better pictures of her in that dress (which from many angles are quite revealing). Try googling for Madeleine (her first name) and "princess", "prinsessa" or "prinsessan" (Swedish for [the] princess). You may want to add "nobel" to the search query, as those pictures were taken at the nobel prize ceremony. That ought to set you up for the evening. But remember; masturbation is sinful! ;P

Of course educated people are quite aware of the fact that Islam does not recognize the representation of Abraham in the Bible, which Adnan clearly referenced. An ignorant person wouldn't recognize that obvious fact. Now back to my search for someone capable of intellectual debate. Anyone?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4881474.stm[^] A US citizen living in London, wrote to the BBC news website to express her concern about the amount of abuse she receives because of her nationality. Do other Americans in other Countries have similar experiences? And what should American Policymakers do about it?

It's been a few years since I've traveled abroad, but I've never experienced anything negative in Germany, UK, Spain, Ireland or France. Keep in mind my longest trip has only been 2 weeks.

Not a thing, it would be a waste of time, effort and money. Any concerted effort would be easily recognized and taken for what is was. "The trouble with jogging is that the ice falls out of your glass." - Martin Mull

Admit that is it an empire
I feel the need to be pedantic in that you should not confuse "empire" with "imperialism". By definition, the U.S. is not an empire. While they may exert influence on other nations, they do not exercise dominion over them. It is an important difference and delineates between empire and not empire. Having lived in many countries throughout the world, including the U.S. and much of Europe, I feel the need to state that it is not just the U.S. that needs to invest effort in it's image. Empires are bad in that they exert dominion over foreign cultures. This generally takes the form of oppression or suppression of the native culture in favour of the state that holds dominion over them.

No one I know or work with has or openly airs anti-American sentiment; quite the reverse, usually. They may not like President Bush and his administration or what he/they represent through their policies but they are smart enough not to confuse Bush with every other American.
I never once seen a French guy over here treated badly for their nationality. But, I can't swear it never happened. The point is, the world is bigger than you think. :) Jeremy Falcon

And if she did, that would make her the biggest fool of all. :laugh: The evolution of the human genome is too important to be left to chance.

Okay, but considering about 80% of those listed are uninhabited , I still don't think that qualifies the U.S. as an empire. If you use that list as your measuring stick, then Britain is still considered an empire: British overseas territories[^].

My son just returned from a two week tour of Europe and England, he reported no abuse of any kind, but was traveling with a large group of other Americans, so didn't have the chance to interact with any of the locals on a one-on-one basis.

Ms Cox, 29, says she has been called, among other things, "terrorist", "scum", "low life", and feels that she is constantly being held to account for the actions of President Bush and for US foreign policy. Altering one[^] of stan's post: The simple point remains that if a billion muslims majority of Americans refused to tolerate Neocons' terrorism on the level it currently exists amoung Islamic Neocons radicals, such terrorism hatred simply could not continue to exist. However she adds: "Bush is our leader and I respect that. It's a bit like the way you feel about your father. You don't always agree with him, but you would defend him." *No Comments*. BTW,How many pro Bush consider him a *daddy*?

Hmmmm.... I don't like Tony Blair. If I'm abroad and someone starts commenting on how much they dislike TB I'll heartely agree with them. I would never defend him just because he "is our leader". It isn't how I feel about my father either. I just think she's got a strange set of sensibilities - which is her choice, and she takes the consequences of that choice.

But when traveling it is customary for non-Europeans to distinquish between them. To be accurate, his group went to London, Paris, some place in Austria, some place in Switzerland, Venice and some place in Germany. "You have no concept of the depth and complexity of my beliefs." Jim A. Johnson

Four million Puerto Ricans may disagree with that assessment. And the population of Guam alone almost equals the combined population of all British territories. But I agree, on the whole the U.S. is barely an empire if it is one at all.
