Hello Björn.

    Not really. Everyone has an opinion and I will agree that Roy and
Frank are more prolific authors of their opinions than some others. Looking
beyond the profanity I see them expressing their opinions on events of the
past. Now if the situation were reversed and you were expressing a negative
opinion on events in American history. I most likely would not be saying
anything to you either. And no, I don't pay attention or read every post that
Roy or Frank write or you for that matter. And have not the time or inclination
to play echo cop. I respond to the posts that I happen to read that I deem
worthy of a response. Gosh, don't you feel special? <g>

    Why is that your only excuse is simular to 'Well, they are doing it why
can't I'? What I see from your post is that you lump Americans as a group
together based on the expressed opinions of a few people who happen to be the
most vocal. Can't you look past what country the author of a message comes
from? Or are you so set in your ways of grouping or classifying people that
that is all you know how to respond?

   I notice that you avoided answering my question and could only offer
a rather childlike excuse.

   I guess I must fall into your same group of Typical American Attitudes
since I happen to be an American?
