I can feel that as i am American myself, but the fact is people in a whole are bigoted pigs, and as much as i wish it would help. This forum will not bring that to justice. lol. So arguing about perspective really won't make any differences here.[QUOTE="legionofdugi"][QUOTE="MonkeySpot"]
There is no reason to bring up where someone is from in regards to the topic... The statement could have been that there are other gamers here who are outspoken without pointing fingers. Claiming Americans are the most vocal about wealth on this forum cannot be proved and furthermore paints my countrymen as garish and uncouth, which I don't appreciate. If I were to make accusations about people of HIS nationality, I'd be branded a bigoted American pig, and the community would be well within it's rights to ask me to watch my choice of words when generalizing about the given nationality. When I asked him to stop bringing nationality into this conversation, the "facts" (his words, not mine) were reiterated as if no one had pointed out that the words were hurtful. Not cool.
I don't need to chill as I am not worked up. I just think that what was said is not right, and I won't sit around and let someone condemn an entire country with spurious accusation and character assassinations with no hard evidence to support it - No matter which nation is being put down.
Peace.

It's not an argument. Slandering race, creed, color, or religion are no-nos on this site for a reason. I'm not asking for global change, I'm asking for fair play on a gaming website. There is a reason why they don't allow political discussion on here and it's because it breeds ill will. Now, I have none against Africans, I don't make nasty commentary about my perceptions of other countries here... Neither should anyone else.
Agreed?
Absolutley
