England afraid to fly its own flag

Can you not think of a term to call all people of the USA?

Um, yes, I call them "Americans". I'm told by the liberals that I'm wrong to do that, that I need to put a hyphen between their ethnic origin name and "American".

Look around this board, many people call them USAians. Mostly, what USAians are called is not permitted on this forum!

Frankly I don't care what others call us. Most *Americans* don't.

And some people wonder why the USA is reviled the world over. The "we don't care what others think of our actions" attitude is why!

We are not reviled the world over. Why do you think so many want to come here? America doesn't have an emigration problem........

okay.....if that helps you sleep at night! Perhaps travel, then tell me how "loved" the USA is!

I like to be as multicultural as possible, but these extremist Muslims are just really annoying. Can't they for once realize that they do not own the world?

I agree. Then again, it's hard for the Muslim extremists (and all extremists) to see that, because conquering the world is their goal.

Actually, Benedryl helps me sleep at night. And again, if America is so reviled, why do so many want to come here?

Oh yes we are reviled. Our government now has strained relations with Canada (Canada!) because of a number of issues, including rejection of NAFTA decisions favoring Canada. They are working hard to build up relations with China and they may shift a significant portion of their trade from us to them. We're at an all time low in the "working and playing with others" department. Even our friends are getting sick of us.

They need jobs to feed their families.

Guess they knew where to come to to save their families from starving. I wonder, will they continue to "revile" after their families are fed?

Do you actually believe that the USA is not despised all over the world?

Feeding their families is alot different than liking the USA.

hun... Americans do good to get jobs of our own.

I find it difficult to believe that people will despise us and still desire to live here. Or where you talking about the French?

I have had the privilege to travel extensively throughout the world. Everyone that I have ever met has referred to Americans as Americans.

What you need to remember is that USA is an acronym for United States of America. Therefore we are Americans not USAians. Are you also using the term UKians for those that live in the United Kingdom???
