Dear everyone,
It's making me upset that people generalize all of America when a specific group does something wrong. Whether it's our "stupid policies" or our "weight" or anything of that nature, it's getting very annoying. Please please please stop saying "Only in America" and anything similar to that phrase. Sometimes I am not proud of what my country does or one of my fellow American's does, but what makes the situation worse is when others associate fine Americans with these sub-par actions/statistics/whatever.
My one request to you guys is for you to please consider using a different phrase, I understand it has been part of your word choice in the past, but please make an effort to change.
For people that are not using this phrase already, thank you!
Have a good day!
-Matt

I'm fine with it cause a lot of things Americans/America do are retarded. Also, if we don't let others generalize Americans, we can't consider Germans to be scheisse loving cannibals or Japanese people to be underwear buying tentacle lovers, etc.

Idk, reading my post would be a good start to understanding why =D.
To summarize it for you: I am tired of people using terms along the lines of "Only in America" because they are too general. They can be offensive to people that do not want to be part of that group.
Thank you and have a good day!

Oh, come on :D
Countrybashing is already heavily moderated on TL. We might just have a little fun sometimes, can't we?

You dont get it. He was mocking you. He was saying "Only in America would a thread like this be made."
Get over it OP. Americans bash every other country on earth, so you have to expect us to bash you back.

I think you are failing to see my point =/. Your quote right here is what I am talking about "Americans bash every other country on earth, so you have to expect us to bash you back.". Please stop generalizing. I know it may be hard for you but please understand that not all of us are world bashers.

Our country can beat up your country.
Yeah, I went there, because I'm an AMERICAN, so obviously that's all I think of right?

Make sure I get a proper government? What are you suggesting? I move to X country? I asked one simple thing, but I suppose it wasn't successful. It's ok.
Good night all! I am done arguing. Sleep well.

Only in Amer- nvm.
You could have at least suggested a few replacement phrases to facilitate this change. You are creating a gap in my soul without giving me anything to fill it.

Dw OP, they're just jealous because they want to live in America but they're stuck elsewhere ^^.
Seriously though, I don't mind America bashing since we do do some really dumb stuff, but I think we are put under a microscope to a degree most other countries are not.

There are people who bash countries, USA or others, because it's fun and not serious.
Then there are people like this guy
