Americans are Stupid
99 days 9 hours ago | by: kapedkrusader
I love N4G and visit the site on a daily basis, but as I read the comments, too many times I read someone saying how stupid Americans are. At first, I ignored it, mostly because I understand why; the war,  President Bush and most importantly, ignorant Americans that don't know or care about anything outside of the US. But as the anti-American remarks persisted, I feel obligated to bring certain issues to light. Truths that have been forgotten in the rush to find a villain. When we call Americans stupid in a generalized fashion, we are not only calling them stupid, but also the rest of the world. The U.S. afterall is mostly made up of immigrants or descendants of immigrants. That fact is even reflected in the names of many  prominant cities like "New York" named after Yorkshire or Los Angeles, spanish for "The Angels".  Speaking of which, these two cities are further apart than the entire European continent. So why is it widely accepted that French people are different from Italians, yet all Americans must be the same. This rationalism is fundamentaly flaud and alienates even the kindest and most intellegent Americans. For those who have had a bad experience with an American either online or thru forums. You must differentiate between a stupid American and a stupid teen who is American. I wrote this blog in the hopes that N4G can remain a site for all. An international voice that lets us bitch and complain, in all languages, about what we are all here for...games.
