Jake, I've spent a good portion of my life traveling the world thru my 20's and 30's, which include third world countries, etc.. You name it...I would say I am very well traveled.. Also, I am an American to the bone.. This has nothing to do with bashing other countries, other countrymen, stereotyping which you are doing, etc.. If anything Jake you are misinformed about Americans in general...Jake and others you have different types of Americans and American thinkers residing here in America... Just because you know an American at your work place doesn't mean you know Americans in a whole....Yes you have the redneck backwood Southerners with their Chevy's and Ford's flying their confederate flags, you also have the Business class driving their fancy cars in big cities that wear a suit and tye daily. You have Republican's, liberals, democrats, etc..Which all think and act different.. All do not think alike so don't stereotype Americans.. So for you to typically stereo type all Americans in a certain way is WAY OFF BASE....
Don't you have some rednecks in the back woods in Australia that are much different to the well placed citizens in let's say Sydney?.... Probably night and day when comparing...One's home brews and the other is purchasing beer at the local pub..One is intellegent and maybe the other is not... One hunts and cooks and one buys dinner at a nice restaurant... See my point... We are not all that different... Put those two together and even though they are both Aussie's they will not see eye to eye..
Olympics-
Is it proven China is cheating? I don't think so...Just because the Chinese gymnists look 12 years old doesn't necessarly mean that they are... I don't think we should say China is cheating until proven so...No?
For the record - I personally like to root for the underdog... I would love to see a no name country and non contender win a gold and shock the world...
