Why is that Pug? If someone says "Americans are fat lazy bastards" that's prejudice, generalization, and bigotry. If someone says "GWB is an asshole" that's a political opinion, and has nothing to do with anti-Americanism.Pug wrote:

We have different points. I'm explaining why someone labels you in the way they do, pretty much summed up by aj above. I'm also making the distinction between playing devil's advocate and being a true hater. In other words, I'm explaining WHY you get labelled that way, and not focusing on whether its correct or not. You're focusing on the latter.
In other words, being vigilant = you get stereotyped.

When did I make a statement like those mentioned by aj before? If criticizing a country's government makes you anti-said country, then I'm anti-Argentinian.Pug wrote:

Okay, very few will make the distinction between labelling you as a anti-American or an anti-Republican/GWB. Right, wrong or indifferent, that's what happens.
Deal with it.
Deal with it.
Np. I've been to America more than ten times coz I like it. The thing is I'm not anti-American for criticizing GWB. In fact, I admire Bill Clinton, and he's American, isn't he?Pug wrote:

Is that so? He was a great leader IMO and you must admit America was better with him. You don't like GWB, you don't like Clinton. Do you like any politician at all?usmarine2005 wrote:

You said I liked him coz he was an ass kisser. I like him coz he was a good president and he is doing a great humanitarian work. Besides he knows how to talk without looking like a fool.usmarine2005 wrote:
