But it would be fair if some evidence was provided.

You'd have to show a correlation between US posters and ruined forums.

Clearly this was a drunken thread I did - frustrated at waffle from the likes of DAM (from New Yorkshire) Luxin (Planet ???) and new kid on the block Advocate dragging up threads of years ago that were left to the abyss for good reason.

To be honest this thread should be removed. Indeed so should the thread spamming cretin Luxin.

i am not American and have a low opinion of their education, culture and politics but I really do believe this thread should be removed. No forum anywhere should allow such a post. The poster has admitted to drunkenness so its not a contentious issue.

Oooh, I am sooooo embarrassed, it will be ok again soon, when I am drunk.
The thoughts will come flooding back about the intelligence of a nation that pour a liquid into their cars and call it 'gas'..a nation where half of the population will refuse to take a vaccine for covid...a nation that thinks everyone owning a gun will prevent violence, indeed arming children and teachers is rational..a nation that doesn't believe politicians should be professional politicians...gotta be mega rich in business first, or a movie star!! ...and it doesn't matter about how corrupt\fraudulent you have been in business or that you like to take private jets laden with underage girls with paedophiles.

GOOD LUCK DUMB ARSES!!

Any nation might succumb to a seductive dictatorship. Look at Germany what happened there, a very civilised people became radicalized. Civilisation is an uphill struggle against the forces of resentment and ignorance.

wasn't meant to embarrass

I suggest gin: my hangovers were always a bit milder after a night with gin

petrol is for pussies

we don't need no stinkin' vaccines: we got 'murican immune systems

guns may not prevent violence, but -- in the right hands -- sure as shit, guns can stop vilolence

in every case of mass school shootings, the campuses were gun free; if trained & armed staff had been present those shooters mighta been nipped in the bud...at the very least, the number of kids off'd might have been lessened

gov, on all levels, overflows with professionals...they're a BIG part of the problem

most 'muricans aren't mega rich, aren't movie stars, and most have no interest in bein' either

most 'muricans are decent folks

the ruling/corrupt/pedo class are the exception (an increasingly irrelevant exception), not the rule


GOOD LUCK DUMB ARSES!!

don't need luck...we're 'muricans

Does a person have to be a dumb American to ruin the forum, or is this an equal opportunity thing?

We don't want to be discriminatory.

Yes! Thanks IC! I'm not American, but I'd love to make Love to
a forum anytime!

Ummm...

No.

Marginally horrified at the very thought.
