Not Telling
We'll get to this. 
Looking into it further. May take some time.
I guess no one is reading what I'm saying to other people. Which means I will have to explain this to every one of you individually. :/
Calling what I'm saying ridiculous because I'm generalizing is a non argument.
What you're essentially saying its that because I didn't say "Some Americans do this" instead of "Americans do this" or because I didn't say "some places in america" instead of "in america" that everything I'm saying is wrong.
Essentially you're getting caught up in details. People say things like "in amercia" all the time. It's commonly accepted that when they say something like that, they obviously don't mean in every single state, town, city and household, because that's just ridiculous. No one in their right mind would think any country is that standardized. When I say things like in america, I mean it just like everyone else means it. I mean it's fairly commonplace. It's something that you're not surprised to see, because it happens all the time.
Further, I know you guys obviously feel like I'm picking on you because I'm attacking your country, but I'm not. If you look over what I've written, I haven't actually said a single insulting thing to anyone in this thread. Every person in this forum I base my relationship on what I've seen of them as a person. If, like you're all suggesting, I was hating on you all simply because you're american, then why don't I just insult you guys for being american? I never have and never would. Someone being american is obviously never going to be enough to put me off of someone. Like I've said quite a few times in this thread, I've been to america numerous times, and have a lot of american family. I know there are lots of great american people. Most of my "generalizing" has to do with certain cultural things that your country supports more frequently than others. As I've also said, I have my criticisms about every country, and the things they support more than others. I've already stated some of the problems I have with Canada, where I live
-side note: I mentioned Canada is incredibly liberal. They're also increasingly anti religion. That's a place where I definitely think america beats Canada. I know two, possibly three actual actual Christians like myself in my school. It's incredibly taboo (though Canadians will try to tell you otherwise) and trying to find support for Christian view is impossible. My world issues class had an (anonymous, thankfully) vote asking if you believe overall women should have the right to abort a child. I was the only person who said no, and people were outraged. It was considered disgusting, and the only reason a witch hunt didn't start right there was probably because 1. the teacher had to remind people it's okay to have opinions other than theirs 2. A classmate was kind enough to calm people down by letting them know it was definitely just someone trying to get a rise out of everyone with a sick joke. Not fun.- and acknowledged some of the Caribbean(where I was born, and the culture in which i was raised in)'s problems. The only reason you see me talk about america more, is because many of the problems I have with other countries are also present in america, and that's on top of all the problems that only they themselves have. Also america has huge stake and influence on pretty much every country in the world, so they almost always come up in the issue.
Anyway long story short. I don't hate anyone for anything they are. Heck I don't even hate anyone for anything they support. No one this forums has done anything to make me hate them, especially not something as silly as living or being born in america. In fact no one in america would make me hate them simply by being american. I'm not trying to offend any of you, and my generalizations aren't xenophobia or anything of the sort. It's just an easier way of writing.
Also Peach is awesome :3
The tone you had in your writing sounded upset, so I was taking it as you didn't like America or their people. If you're not then that's good.
I personally think this thread should be closed because it hasn't been much more than an argument. I haven't particularly enjoyed reading everything in here.
And yes Peach is awesome...
She decided she was so awesome that she is standing up against Bowser.
