Okay we do not want to get overly political here, but i would find it interesting and informative to know what the sentiment is about America in your countries right now... do you think it is improving, worsening or have you guys always disliked us (just kidding )...

On some of the boards, I have noticed that there is a belief that we all support what our country is doing in the world... i live in what is called a "Blue State" over here... we're the ones who didn't vote for the crazy religious man in the white house... if you have any questions about what it's like here don't be afraid to ask or offend, let's just keep it civil okay?

I was definately discussing the more global aspects of relations... and you know, i DO actually feel sorryfor/have pity on some of the poelple who voted for Bush... These are people who live in small town america and think that somehow their entire way of life is being threatened by a) gay people, b) terrorists and c) people whose religious beliefs are different than their own. They are being sold a whole list of fears and they are voting for the person who says he will somehow keep them "safe"... nevermind that he is giving away tax money to the other end of the tax scale... it's very strange to be living here in these times... my parents (who i considered to be well-educated, grounded people) are rabid Bush fans and there is nothing i can say that will make them see what he is doing... willful blindness is a powerful and dangerous thing, but hopefully some people are beginning to open their eyes!!!
