Okay, I'm going to venture a guess and say that you have probably never visited the States. I happen to live in an area with a large immigrant population, and it never ceases to amaze me how it takes these folks about two years of working here in a high tech job with a fat paycheck before they’ve bought a nice upscale home and a gas guzzling sport utility vehicle to haul their family around in. I guess what I am trying to say is that most everyone who comes here fits in fairly well, unlike most other places on earth. If it troubles you that a place exists where nobody cares where you are from and where the opportunity exists to reap the rewards of your hard work, then you can f**k off. I say this not only for me, but also for all of the Chinese, Indians, Europeans, and Middle Easterners who live in my neighborhood and bust their ass day in and day out to support their families and make my country a better place to live in.

As for these next comments, understand that I like pretty much everyone no matter where you are from. However, I just cannot pass on the little tit for tat exchange we seem to be having here about who is superior to whom. While we Americans may not be a perfect lot with our history of slavery, genocide against our native peoples, and civil rights issues, let us not forget the great contributions to human civilization our friends from across the pond have given us including colonial racism, religious extremism, Facism, and Nazi death camps. And since we are making comparisons to the French, doesn’t anyone remember Algeria? You know, the place where superior French/European morality and sensibilities indulged in the liberal application of torture and summary executions. And let’s not forget about more recent events. If you folks have such perfect, superior societies, then please tell me and everyone else why your disenfranchised immigrant populations are either trying to blow things up or burn down half the countryside.

You know, it just burns me when people deal in generalities and paint everyone with the same colored brush. Stupid people deal in generalities. Here, I’ll say it so some of you slower folks can understand. “YOU…ARE…A…MORON!” As for the folks above who called us ass wipes, I’ll add this. If we are ass wipes, then you are the sh*t in the bottom of the crapper.

Signed,

A Very Proud American
