American bashing?

[Avraym]

I'm Australian and i'd rather play with American players or Japanese players sometimes.

Whilst I think it's wrong to generalise or stereotype, I find American player's tend to make for better players than Aussies.

Our definition of hardcore gaming is CoD. Nuff said.

People in our country generalize do they not? I'm not sure why you have the expectation that ppl in other countries do not do the same. While cultures may differ widely across the world, at the end of the day we are all still *human*, thus we are prone to the same kinds of folly. We all generalize; it is perfectly normal behavior, and there is not a soul on the planet who is not guilty of it. We *have* to generalize in order for our brains to process and understand the infinite amount of things that goes on around it.

I've dealt with some of these collectivist and their flawed generalizations. Just call them collectivist.

Speaking English, or being listed as "E" (E only meaning that you're game client is the English version) in the player search/Duty Finder does not mean you're American. It's OK though; I realize it's hip and trendy to constantly bash on America(ns).

Hey check it out! A thread on generalized America bashing where the "enlightened and sensitive" posters are making more generalizations and talking about how they're exceptional compared to the other generalizations.

Well, I'd like to make a generalization that people who accept generalizations but feel they need to point out that they're the exception to that generalization probably shouldn't be talking about being on the moral high ground on generalizations.

I never meant to generalize anyone, if you read my post I'm asking why people do generalize American's for whining, or other things included in my post, not all of us do it. Not everyone in here is generalizing either, I don't understand why you posted if your not going to accurately read.

Because you're whining.

Because you're whining.

I don't see how asking a question is whining.

I don't see how asking a question is whining.

And this is the difference between Americans and the rest of the world, in America if you complain about something you are automatically a whiner, the word to whine is that of what a child does when they can't have their own way.

These forums are really bad for pinning whiner on to someone when they have a valid complaint or opinion.

Well, America is huge compared to some of the other countries that play this game.

America is not a country. It is a pair of continents unless you specify north or south.

The United States is a country. Canada is a country. Mexico is a country. America is not.
