So? He's rude to people on here constantly. He really is not as great or as funny as he thinks he is.
Civis, I have tried to be respectful and nice to him because that's what decent people do....but it is to no avail.
It's not like I'm the lover of all things American, either. Unlike some other posters in here, I try to see my country through impartial eyes.
But FUCK, the constant slamming on the US that happens starts to get even on my nerves, lol
We are not ALL fat, stupid, and obsessed with material bullshit. Nor are we ALL addicted to trash culture. I fucking hate that shit.

No. We know that but you do realize that there are people here that are fed up with Anglo-American influence of any sort ? That they want a return to their own values and probably even discover what is hidden beneath the veneer of modernism and the Semitic nonsense that has been applied to it over the past 1000 years ?
The reason why I like Scandinavia so much is that it is much purer then the rest of (Germanic) Europe. Unless you find the time to look for a remote village in the Alps.

I understand and fully respect that
It is my philosophy to show respect and deference for all the cultures of Europe and its diaspora. I would wish to see the same in return.
I cannot control what influence this country has had on your nation or any other. Yet....there are some aspects of America that are really great, and you would have to live here for a time to find them for yourself.
However, I recognize that this country is also full of problems, and I have no wish for us (the US) to play any sort of role in the eradication of indigenous cultural mores and values native to the nations in Europe.
The fact is this: Though my ancestors have lived in this country for greater than 300 years, they still spent one helluva longer period of time living in Europe prior to coming here. Why would I want to see MY European homelands destroyed? KWIM?

The thing is... that they aren't your homelands. You don't speak the language, nor do you know the culture. That's something that never ceases to amaze me about Americans: they call it their homelands while it isn't their homeland. We have completely different ties to our countries then you have.
When you walk in your walk in your homeland you are a foreigner and a stranger and you need someone to translate everything for you. I am sorry: but that's how it is. While we live here, are born and bred here and will die here. This is our homeland. America is your homeland: please don't forget that.
Now when it comes to culture: I think it's time for the Germanic countries (at least for the Netherlands) to shake off that Semitic, Latin and Anglo-American veneer and rediscover our Germanic past in every way possible. Even when it comes to religion. It is of course possible to combine the two. I think it would be possible to combine local folklore and Christianity like the Icelanders have done. We, in the Netherlands, should drop last names (at least those made compulsory by Napoleon) and return to patronyms and names based on ones profession or habitat.
Something with respect to our Germanic heritage should be added to the curriculum: heemkunde should be added to normal history lessons and children should be taken into the field and taught about the ancestors, on how they lived and how our present language and culture was formed. And preferably students should be taken to archaeological sites so they can be educated on the spot by teachers and archaeologists.
