So much to say and do. Where to start:

Swingers was a fluke it seems.

I can see it was a bad movie, Favreau can't direct, and Vaughn can't act. Why does everyone else insist that this is some great movie. Crappy dialogue, stupid plot, and stupid acting are a bad movie. Just rented "Made" this past weekend. Very sad attempt at a movie, as well.

There are a ton of them. My girlfriend calls them pwet-pwets. They are in the US too. The young, most likely affluent "hippie-types" with long, unwashed blonde hair in dread-locks and the like. Spend all day protesting the WTO with their big puppets, the smell of weed wafting around them, only to end the day at the corner Starbucks sucking down lattes.

Didn't know there was any sort of name for them but Lawrence, KS is teeming with them. Most college towns probably are. I walked by a bunch of people holding a giant banner for peace on campus today in this godawful weather. Hell, not all of them are unwashed or disheveled but almost all are upper middle to upper class and engage in their pseudo-intelligent banter about this and that with no common sense or concept of the rest of the world. To anyone wanting to take them off our hands or just plain shoot them for violence's sake, I'd be more than willing to turn a blind eye. Then again, these people have no concept of the military and what they are saying anyways, just like those who looked down on Vietnam vets. It's a different world and these people just don't get it.

You don't hate Europeans or anyone else : you just ignore them. That's the way the average american joe is.

Speaking of getting it, some people still don't understand even after Alf put in very plain English why everyone hates us. This is the primary reason for hating us. At least if you are enemies, you are recognized, but the US just forgets other exist some times and that's even more insulting. End of story. You want to know why everyone hates us, just ask yourself how easy it is to find international news in the media here when something like a major uprising in Russia or some landmark event in China happens and it's buried in the news here behind some sex scandal or story about how we amuse ourselves with such mindless pleasures and decadence as reality tv or some computer story.

the French, have disliked Americans for ages.

Correct me if I'm wrong (and I typically am) but haven't the French typically sided against the US in wars (French and Indian, and didn't they help the South during the Civil War) except when it was convenient to help us so we would weaken the British. Then again, I may be totally off base here: I don't know my history like I should and like many of you guys out there do.
