Yeah, it's pretty juvenile. No matter where you go humans are all unfortunately the same.

I think the Europeans are actually just jealous because we have Stephano.
Actually, if it did actually matter, I'd be much happier with reality. I actually think Sheth is a better Zerg than Stephano.

To be honest I think a lot of the America bashing comes from 2 reasons. First, most people don't seriously follow politics and news in their own country let alone others, and so they only get to see the funny or down right stupid stuff from other countries on Youtube/tv/forums etc and so everything a lot of people in Europe see about the US is the really stupid stuff that comes out of it (and to be fair, you gus do have a few nutters that like being noisy).
Second, calling America stupid has been the popular/cool thing to do for at least a decade now especially with "Bush-isms" being so widely mocked by pop culture, so it's something 'people just do'.
Neither are good reasons to bash an entire country's population, but I reckon they're a large portion of the reasons it happens.

These are great points. Bush sure didn't help our country's image...

I'm just going to say it - this is a really wierd thread. I've never understood it. Now it's not even about bans anymore.

Yeah but by far the most Bush bashing came from Americans, so we only have ourselves to blame for how it affected our nation's image within the popular culture of Europe.

Actually we are discussion all the bans for country bashing in this thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=331868

No, we are discussing USA bashing. I've rarely seen anyone being banned for spouting shits on other countries. Statistically explainable ...

Yeah, but this thread is still wierd in my book

Had to.
Also, I loved this ban reason:
Schnerf was just banned by Antoine.
That account was created on 2010-10-09 20:15:11 and had 3 posts.
Reason: You must be proud of your posts, the display of intelligence at the highest level of authority in that profile is so supreme, if you add all the good posts together then multiply it by the number of posts you'll make on this site after now, their number of posts combined... well, it'll be zero.

Bush might be / is the reason young people do it but America-bashing goes back all the way to there being an America to bash, some Europeans have always ragged on us for being stupid / dirty / rough / whatever. The current fad of 'stupid greedy warmongers' comes from the Cold War though.

Reason: You continually attack people who have contributed far more than yourself. Please stop. If you have a problem with someone helping others by breaking down a pro-gamer's build keep it to yourself because surely you are the only one. This guy asked the most bizarre questions in TLHF. Just weird. Apparently changing his diet has increased his hostility.

You're not the same with the high templar, Toast. Just... not the same.
An interesting question; what were to happen to this thread if you (TheToast) were to (for whatever unlikely reason) be permabanned? I think we would end up in a purgatory of bread, and Manifesto would eventually lock the thread.

thread would get old and mouldy

No, we'd be fine. My alter ego TheBread would show up and commence keeping the peace.
The better question: if I were to get perm'ed, who would be the mod to pull the trigger?
