American versus the rest of the world?

From past experiences dealing with people from AF I've come to the realization that the rest of the world likes to attack Americans when they come into the room to defend our countries cars. I've read posts dealing with comparisons and it always becomes a verbal bashing of American cars. Of course I step in to defend my countries makes and models and it then becomes a verbal bashing of American people. Last time this happened I ended up getting warned by the moderator and nothing happened to the Europeans. Not that I really care, but this kind of seems like BS to me. Americans, please respond to this post if you've had similar experiences or tell me if I'm just imagining things.

How do you know they were not warned?
I could care less what they think. I am glad as hell I live here. I wouldnt trade it for anything. And yes, I have been to other countries.

I explained to you in a private message why you were warned.If you still don't get it,then maybe this isn't the forum for you.If you have any issues with the way this board is moderated ,feel free to PM the mods in question.It has nothing to do with American cars vs. The rest of the world,it's about showing a bit of respect to people who have forgotten more about their subject than you will ever know.You wandered into a thread and started shouting your mouth off about things that were none of your business,and insultedseveral senion members,including a senior executive from the Fiat company,and a couple of highly skilled automotive technicians.
You seem to have a massive chip on your shoulder,levelling pointless and abusive comments at people whose respect you have yet to earn.

were obnoxious,ill-informed and offensive.It's not about the fact that you think American cars are the greatest,that's your opinion,and opinion is what the forums are about.It's that you refuse to respect the opinions of others.Wise up and stop being a jackass.

CheersMr T, these are exactly the reasons I disrespect YJHed- in fact after his little display and abusive PM's I find him a complete and utter asshole- And if anyone has a problem with that, then don't bother bitching to me about it- Because I won't listen:mad:
I also think stephanel1 and crayzayjay should be thanked for taking his abuse and bullshit calmly and not creating a scene, unlike YJHed did.

Addressing only the first post, what kind of pathetic victim mentality is that? 'Everyone keeps picking on me because I'm a bigot American and I keep telling them how great American cars are. Guys? Back me up guys...'
Get over it, mate. Whenever you have an opinion, people are going to disagree with it. It's a condition called life. The cure is alcohol. GO and investigate...

I have read all your recent posts. I don't know where you are coming from, but I have served this country in its Armed Services, and was involved in Desert Storm. I am proud of my country, and was willing to die for it. With that being said, you are giving Americans a bad name in here. You are displaying the blatant arrogance most other countries picture Americans as having. Chill-out. I have faced death before. Why does that matter in this topic? Because at the end of it all, it doesn't matter what race, creed or religion you come from. Your body shall turn into the same dust/ash as anybody elses. Your soul is your own business. What matters the most is what you leave behind for those that shall follow you. At the rate it's going, all you'll be leaving behind is a long line of people offended by you.
Famous line:
"Can't we all just get along?"

carrrnuttt and Ozriceboy- THANK YOU, both of you made awesome posts that sum up what a dickhead this guy is- I owe you two a beer :D
I am really sorry you Americans have to share a country with pricks like him, I mean he doesn't understand that other people are entitled to an opinion- he just yarks on about stupid crap that he can't even back up.
Quite frankly he doesn't deserve Oxygen and I hate him all the more for his insults on my intellegence- He doesn't understand that some people like exclusive cars rather than trash that every man and his dog has.
I also thought it was against the rules to re-register after you were banned :mad:

YJHedis a racist American who believes all American cars are the best in the world and all other cars (Including exotics) are pieces of shit. Then begins to attack Europeans and Kiwis with racist insults, on top of not backing up his arguments.
Then the prick has the nerve to say it was unfair to get warned by the mods for his posts.

Ditto to that, and to save Yogs and myself the trouble of writing long boring patriotic posts about how great america is or isnt Ill put this thread to sleep quitly before it has the chance to grow into something really ugly.
What matters the most is what you leave behind for those that shall follow you. At the rate it's going, all you'll be leaving behind is a long line of people offended by you.
and
The cure is alcohol. GO and investigate...
Two quotes that sum it all up quite nicely thank you. :)
