To the administartor only

04/05/2010 12:03 PM

I find Americans are extremely arrogant. Kindly see some of the comemnts posted by these peopel. You will know why Americans are hated worldwide. Just because I post my commenst and reveal my identity as an Indian- this is no way to respond. I have been posting discussions on different topics and everywhere I can see that arrogance. That is why one Guest told me to make posting as Guest- so that peopel cannot make such comemnts. Until American arrogance does not come down, its economy will never improve.. I can see greed for money and love for theri cars (produce energy from trash at any cost and burn down the whole earth) - have you seen these comments? Now you will know why you create monsters called terrorists - people develop hatred when they see such comments.

I am past 60 years and can guess those arrogants responding are far far younger. people must be polite, humble and try to understand. It is extremely unfortunate your website encourages such comemnst- which semtiems feel are racist. It is disgusting. Peopel try to hide by making off tarck comemnts- but even then is not acceptable. This is an international forum and peopel must learn to respect sensitivity of all humans- irrespective of caste, creed, religion, nationalities.

I apologize for my fellow Americans arrogance. Many but not all are very egocentric and do not understand the rest of the world. Part of it is because of the cold war and they feel like they won ww1 and ww2 for the rest of the world and not their own monetary gains.

I do believe in America and that we helped out considerably in the world wars, but we did not do it alone.

I was in the US. Air Force and lived overseas for most of my military career. I saw how the locals who lived near the base would expect me to behave and were cautious with friendship until they realized I was not a typical Yank. I fit in everywhere I went because I respect other cultures for their value and do not judge them by American standards.

I try to open the eyes of my American friends when I can. I imagine this thread will be removed by CR4 Admin because it can be confrontational. But to anyone who reads this realize not all Americans are like that, and to Americans...think before you submit your posts.

No one will deny that individuals on this forum (American or not) might make arrogant remarks. But I had a look at several of the threads you have posted, Divekar, and I see many, numerous, courteous and intelligent remarks by AMERICANS.

If an individual makes a remark that you consider personally offensive or racist, the procedure is to use the "REPORT" button and bring it to the admin's attention, if you are not satisfied to ignore it and carry on as most of us do, most of the time.

For you to take the bad behaviour of one or two individuals, and make it a general criticism of Americans, is really not acceptable. It is incredibly rude to the Americans who have been courteous to you.

At the same time, you are assuming that critical remarks are because you are Indian. I have been on this forum for over a year, and I don't see that there is anti-Indian attitude or any other racism expressed here. Critical remarks are a part of the forum process. Ideas get overhauled, it is not meant to be taken personally. And if you make errors (as we all do) expect to be laughed at: it's part of the scene to have a sense of humour. Your unjustified remark about Americans is really the closest thing I have seen to 'racism' in the forum.

There is a fine line between arrogance and pride. It seems as though you are more prideful of where you live than arrogant about it. Although how one may perceive your pride is another matter.

You are right, there are some rude comments occasionally here, and some attempts at humor that are inconsiderate. I don't know if they are all by Americans, but we here in America have something that a lot of others in the world are not familiar with, it's called, "Freedom of Speech". While sometimes we hear or read things that make us angry, or that we disagree with, the alternative would be for no one to be able to voice their opinions whether or not they are rude. You can report any bad behavior to admin., but also if you see things that make you hurt or angry, try to ignore them, it's the easiest. Probably 98% of everything on here is civil and helpful. Ironically, your blanket hate statement regarding all Americans would definitely be considered inappropriate material for this forum. I doubt there will be many complaints though, at least not by Americans, we will read your rant and move on.
