American "Selectiveness"

Well, Wolfe never actually "bashed" the States in his previous posts. If he were to "bash", he would be hating all Americans, pointing out everything bad about Americans.

Also, although this board is 90% Americans, it doesn't make it wrong that we can't express ourselves. I admit that he used some inappropriate language but in general, he was just expressing his thoughts and observations.

As Wolfe said, us Canadians don't hate Americans. We are up here, in the north, and because we are NOT Americans, we have a unique perspective on Americans. There is nothing wrong with patriotism but when you start neglecting other countries' achievements, it makes you ignorant. FIRST is trying to become an international competition. And I think American teams should take note and respect FIRST's efforts at trying to globalization.

If people can't look past their borders, and see that humanity is a whole and not separate parts, we will never succeed.

By any chance are you xxx-Raven-xxx on danimation.com?


Okay i never said he couldn't express his opnions, feel free to. I don't really care what you think of my country, you don't experience it like i do. The people aren't like the sterotype. Yes we do need to look past our borders but thats two ways just because you think you know americans doesn't mean you do. FIRST didin't ignore the canadian regional, were you listenting to any part of the opeing ceremonies? they made a big thing of it there.
