And if you did, then you probably weren't the most popular guy around. That sort of American arrogance is exactly why alot of other cultures around the world dislike us. <br /> </td></tr></table><br /><br />Totally agree with you Dwayne. I lived in Ireland and England for 5 years and developed a very different picture of the US by looking at it from the outside.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Paul Flack

However, I was speaking of the people around the world that have been directly effected by Americans and their lack of respect for other people's cultures (i.e. Americans living abroad that impose their way of life on others).

I'm glad to see that H*ll no longer exists.<br /><br />This certainly frees up a lot of the things I am planning to do.
