I really don't understand why "Euro-whiner" is allowed, if "USAmerican" is not
I'll state that "Euro-whiner" is offensive to me, and it is inaccurate. These were the two criteria used for not allowing "USAmerican". I think we should be consistent here. Quote:

I also would ask that the term "Euro-whiner" be removed from Jerseydevil's last few posts, by Jersey or an admin. It's obvious that the term is used in a purely offensive, insulting manner.

question: what exactly is 'assinine'? I have now seen this term bandied about a
couple of times, and it is causing me a small amount of confusion, from the context in which it is used, I can tell that it is an insult, perhaps, but I am unsure as to the actual meaning of the word. |

ElemmÃ*rë - because there is no such thing as USAmerican. It IS American. Or do you want these assholes demanding that we change God Bless America to God Bless USAmerica because they find it not accurate enough?

I find the term euro-whiner offensive, it was used in a post directed at me, and i do not wish for this I do not whine about anything, i make political comments, and i also exercise my right of protest, i pysically go out there and protest agaisnt things, which is something i am thankful for, the fact that i can go out into the streets and protest.

I don't see why he gets any credit anyway. What did Amerigo or whatever his name was do? Maybe we should be called Liefland.

I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation under God, indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for all. So you have a problem with the "indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for all" too? The "under God" was put into the pledge after WWII - that is all. It was in response to atheist soviet union. Schools before that and even after that required prayers in school though. So I don't know why you think that putting "under God" into the pledge would have been a big thing. I also don't understand why you would only say half the pledge - when it's only TWO words and the rest is important. I don't really care if you skip over the "under God" part. That's your choose.

well, I was just going to say that I don't exaclty feel the emotion of love for this country I live in, the U.S.o.A, but I do have a strong loyalty to my state, and my hometown. Extremely strong. It's not like I don't see the bad or dirty parts of it, but I know them and accept them as part of the complex truth that makes up the environment I grew up in. Going from the Pacific Northwest to the Northeast coast of these states is an interesting experience. Distance concepts and ideas about geography and weather are so different. I long for rain, mostly.

Well, I personally don't much care for USAmerican either. It's somewhat annoying to me. I don't normally get so vehement about things as Jersey does. Euro-whiner bothers me a good deal more then USAmerican does. USAmerican is a rather pointless geographical statement. Euro-whiner is an attack both on the speaker and on Europe in general.
I would dearly like you to stay, Hemel. Your posts are splendid and I have greatly enjoyed reading them. Please stay.
