Antiamericanism nowdays sounds very redneckish in Europe, just as anticlericalism. The utterance of some country yokel that wants to appear as "modern", but he doesn't know that he's out of sync.
Canadians and Americans are the Nº1 Bashers in Europe, I mean, most Americans around here are a reincarnation of ancient Vietnam protesters, far left liberals that want to appear as European bashing their own country...and all of them are democrats...
I was wondering when you would show up, lol. A thread as crazy as this one isn't complete without your rants

I also find The State Dept has an unhealthy obsession with CBC imo..actually I think more people from the State Dept watch the CBC than Canadians lol...save for their documentaries the homegrown shows are BORING...

OH brother you're nailing the CBC dead on bro!

You may have hit on why they're still broadcasting at all............ international subterfuge. Who knew?

lol - i'm being dead serious when I was reading the cable from the State Dept - they were listing off shows I seriously had NEVER heard of nor had anyone ever talked about in my circle of friends...

For a country that is cutting Border security and ATC centres I find it INSANE that they are paying people in the State Department to watch shows nobody else in the world is watching LOL

I must come out of the closet for my love of the Nature of Things, Doc Zone, The Fifth Estate and The Passionate Eye - they have top notch documentaries and not one mention of them by the State Dept

I think it's that Negativity a lot of people have, they hate the fact that people live happy normal life's so they bash the country to try to make it seem like you live in some sort of hellhole. You can see this attitude mostly in the politics forum, look at this thread suppose to be a happy thread bringing people together http://www.city-data.com/forum/polit...americans.html the thread really attracted alotof the Negative Nancys.

I'm going to ask a bunch of people at work what they think of the U.S and will honestly report back my findings. Maybe i'm just sheltered or blind but I don't aside from shopping at American stores, listening to American Music and watching American Show/Movies - I just don't see the topic of Americana comining up in most discussions either positive or negative - it normally just isn't on the radar and this is why I keep saying that atleast from a Canadian and probably European point of view, the anti-amercanism hype is sensationalized, particulary for most people who don't noodle around in CD forums or associate themselves with political circles in Ottawa or other Euro capitals.
