==================================
 ST> Hey dude,

 ST> If the truth disturbs others, it's their problem not mine...

 ST> The fact is, none of your lot ever liked the fact I enjoy being American
 ST> and take exception to the pot shots some of you take against me, my
 ST> country and my fellow countrymen.

And just what were you thinking when you posted that article? Wasn't that a
pot shot against Sweden in general and Björn Felten in particular?
If you didn't expect that such a post should cause a riot against you, you're
even dumber then I thought.

 ST> I have no illusions about my government, and when I
 ST> allude to defending my country in this echo, I'm not necessarily referring
 ST> to my government, but rather my country, it's history (good and bad) and
 ST> it's culture.  Few of us are 100% satisfied with their government, that
 ST> includes damn near every American as well!

And it damn near include every Swede as well so what's the difference?

 ST> Many of you that participate in this echo and who live across the great
 ST> Atlantic hate us with a passion.

A clicheï. We don't hate you and you have been told that several times but so
far without any success. Wonder why you keep that up. What we don't LIKE
about you is your big-brother mentality. If it isn't done the American way it's
shit and *that* is what the rest of the world oppose to.

 ST> I won't deny that it puts a smile on my
 ST> face to see some thieves having their tools of the trade confiscated and
 ST> detained, especially the same thieves that consort with the likes of our
 ST> infamous news editor, "Felten" (who openly participates in the same
 ST> actions).  What does surprise me (but shouldn't) is the fact that many of
 ST> you support the actions of these thieves.  THAT speaks very informatively
 ST> of your moral fortitude /or/ your character (depends on how you define
 ST> character).

Didn't you say that you don't judge people?
Like you say below, there is an investigation going on here which will determin
if they are thieves or not but in your mind they are already convicted so you
have already judged them.

 ST> You previously referred to the killings of the Iraqi civilians.  As the
 ST> investigation continues, it is looking more and more like a few Marines
 ST> went off the deep end and may have killed them in cold blood.  We won't
 ST> know until the conclusion of the investigation.

And we won't know if Pirtebay are thieves or not untill our investigation is
ready
now will we?
So who is judgeing who?

 ST> However, if that was the
 ST> case, I sincerely hope and pray that we (America) bring those Marines up
 ST> on charges punish them appropriately in accordance with their actions,

That's just how it works here as well so before you judge Piratebay, let the
justice have it's way, eh...
