I certainly dislike the attitudes you espouse on this forum, in the sense that they are not the morals that I live my life by. But that does not make me hate you as a person.


Nor do I hate americans as a race, though I do feel that they are akin to benefit fraudsers by refusing to pay the tea tax.
At the risk of being contradicted by rkzenrage, americans are not a race. Technically there is only one race of humans, i.e. the human race, which can be subdivided in all manner of ways as benefit one's desire to create various moral higher grounds. There's ethnicity, political leanings, caste, class, gender. The list goes on and on. But alas, there's just one race and we all are it.

I agree with that. I am no Xenophobe... I just think everyone else is.
See this quote of mine from another thread.

It's called envy, see the following.
Again, as always, don't use our jack, don't take our aid, don't use our technology (in any field), don't ask us to bail your ass out of any situation, don't come here for heart, brain surgery, vacation or retirement or send your kids to school here, don't come here to work so you can buy a home in your broke-ass country instead of staying there an fixing it yourself.... don't, don't, don't do shit with the US... THEN you won't have shit to complain about.
It's easy.
If everyone had the same expectations with the US that they had for themselves I would have no issue with anything.
I just don't want to hear Mexico bitch about us wanting to secure our southern border when they treat those crossing theirs a thousand times worse than we do. I don't want to hear Israel, Palestine or anyone else in that theater bitch about us being, or not being involved in that situation UNTIL they DECIDE WHICH they WANT from us, etc, etc, etc... it is VERY simple.
