Well it seems to me you anti-americans will never get it into your heads that
we're not "flying the flag" in the derogatory sense that you mean, but
that we're simply sick and tired of being the world's (or at least this
group's) whipping post.  Why is it okay to hate america and americans
(only those americans who hate others of course) but not okay for those
americans that you so despise to hate others in the first place?

as for exploitation of others, shoot, where do you "brits" think we learned
it from?
