I don't see how it gives our whole country a bad rep though. You know how pissed people would get if I were to say something like, "that black guy was just arrested for murder, he gives africans a bad rep"? it's ignorant. As is giving 1 man and a company the power to make us all look like idiots. I'm sure there are plenty of examples but most things of importance are led by idiots. I know of 2 people that actually are what you'd expect us americans to be.

Exactly. This reminds me that I need to watch my wording sometimes. I know it gets on my nerves when people say things like "The Americans think this" or "The Americans did that" or "Once again, the Americans invaded such-and-such a place." (As opposed to "such-and-such a corporation thinks this," or "such-and-such an organization did that" or "Once again, the United States military invaded such-and-such a place") It might seem like an insignificant difference, but it really isn't; I might live in the U.S., but I am not AOL, Microsoft or the USAF. I don't make their decisions, and things shouldn't be said as though I or the majority of the people in this country do. Sorry for the rambling, just felt like I had to say that
(Another thing this reminds me of is "America Town" from the Simpsons episode where they go to Japan. If anybody here has seen that, I'm sure they will know EXACTLY why I am mentioning that :D )

You're an utter moron. Since you appear to have a dismal knowledge of geography, I'll give you an assignment to make up for all the time you wasted in grade school playing your national anthem with your Walkman during lectures. Firstly, look on a map and point out where Canada is located. I'll give you a hint: it is the big lump of land north of your own. Secondly, I ask you the name of the continent where Canada is located. Thirdly, write a essay on why everything you said above makes no sense whatsoever.
No, I am not a 'sepratist'. You, however, are a right prat, period. As for separatism, I have not made my mind on that yet. But I don't see where this issue comes in, as the topic at hand concerns a corporation who insults a country which is not mine and undermines the integrity of yours with its hogwash. If you love your country so much, how can you tolerate it being manipulated by a corporation and a government that clearly go against its very principles -- namely freedom of expression?

Bwa-a-a-aha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Big American corporations mercilously crushing the upstarts!
Actually, I met a few French people before and thought they were nice people. I've seen other Europeans on the subway including some speaking German and found them to be as human as the Americans on the same subway train. I recently talked to two officers who were in the German Navy who I found talking to each other one day. That reminds me. I was thinking of bringing over a set of gears that my father brought back from the war (WWII) and see if anyone in the German Navy can tell me what they are. There's offices in Crystal City (Arlington) Virginia with people from the German Navy working in them. I wonder what they are up to. Walking through the mall during breaks from work I found that all the asian shops are run by Koreans. My boss came from Russia, we have other Russians working for us, two Chinese and two Koreans. There is also some one from Japan and people from Afganistan, Pakistan and the Philipeans working in my office. Everywhere I look in my area I find people from a foreign country, recent immigrants, people with green cards, etc. I see people from El Salvador and other South and Central American countries. Years ago I used to talk to my friends about our ancesters coming from countries like Germany, Italy, England, etc. America is really made up of people from all over the world.
