I've had it with the arrogant and close-minded 'patriotism' bullshit here. I constantly see guys whining about eurofags always raging when, in fact, it's just some troll that you're overreacting about. Whenever there's a post dissing on America, a shitstorm is inevitable. About 3/4 of the comments are people insulting OP's sexuality because he lightly danced about the obesity rate of America.   
   
 If it was stereo-typing another country, there's literally  no shitstorms. It's just "I'm canadian and this is true, I'm canadian and I laughed" etc, maybe an anon or two trying to start a shitstorm, but that's it.  And yet, there are still posts that are just flinging shit everywhere because somebody was politically incorrect about America. Can't you people just fucking get along?

The problem with the stereotyping is that there isn't a fine line between full on insult to just something absurd and silly. Even American's are smart enough (ironically) to know that being called fat and stupid HURTS! No one likes to be called fat and stupid, and there are plenty of countries who have fat people and equally stupid people, it's just there happens to be more here in America, which hurts even more knowing it's fact... What's more absurd and silly? Saying because you're Russian you drink vodka and hang out with bears, or being called fat and stupid? Chances are the Russian one is more absurd and silly than the ladder... That's why there's shitstorms when America is dissed, because it truly does hurt being called fat and stupid, if America is gonna get poked fun at, why not poke fun at our love for handegg? Anybody can laugh at that! I understand your opinion and I do too wish for peace on everyone, but if countries are gonna be made fun of, there's a fine line between absurd and insulting. Also, personally I never see Americans rage at Europeans... If they do, it's because that American got called fat and stupid.

when I say there isn't a fine line, I mean that I think the Europeans don't know the fine line between insults and absurdity.
