Now there are plenty of places around the world worse than Compton, but it comes off as strange when you read someones "Bl00dz reppin" post and find out they are from Sweden. Unfortunately some of the U.S. posters don't realize that not all of the posters from others places of the world are like that. Some of the best info I've seen posted on here came from overseas. And there are plenty of goofy posters from the US that act like G's and they get dissed by normal posters too! I think the whole Euro thing is just an easy clown. Peeps should not take it too serious.

It's a challenge not to hate Americans for that, I always have to remind me that these people (hopefully) doesn't represent the attitude of the American population. Let's face it, on this forum there's a lot of scum and ignorant people. I've thought more than once to leave this place, I don't think I belong here.

In this case I'd agree with you. I suppose it's cool to use it here, even if the person is probably not from Europe.
Generally, it's of course sth.different I think that term came up because of the political tensions between the US and some European countries. The US had to take alot of criticism, and since we all live in a 'democracy', the government represents (or is supposed to represent) the country, which means we equalised Bush= America. It was kind of a defense-mechansim to bash Europeans, especially the ridiculous anti-French sentiment
Let's not forget we Europeans have some prejudices too, for example the stereotype that America is a country full of retarded religious rednecks, it's just that I don't read it here very often.
We better forget that shit asap, because America and Europe both need each other and we'll need each other even more in the future. One could argue that this is a small unimportant forum, but even this can seed alienation and hate between people.

props to you as well.
yeah it often goes further than just jokes.
so i totally understand why you feel that you're fighting against the "superiority" mentality.
i don't think these comments are only coming from American posters, but it seems like a lot of times this is the case :P
though there are plenty of mature American posters on here, so some of them might join the conversation later.
yeah it's sad that it bothers you that much.
i'm glad you're still around though :)
cause we can't let the scum get away with it.
we need to continue to fight back and conquer the forum.
we have to accept that the staff is a lot more tolerant that we wish,
but this shouldn't stop us.

you know I'm exagerating a bit ;) I ignore it most of the time, but I feel you on this one, it's still annoying. I wouldn't get this far, it's still an American forum and we're 'guests' here. I appreciate that the mods are tolerant, however it seems that Jome's the only one who cares, I wish the other mods could show more presence, sometimes that's enough to calm people down.

yeah Jome is doing most of the work, it seems.
by the way, i didn't state that "we" as Europeans need to team up, but "we" as non-scum ;)

No this is not an american forum,nima overseer and most of the staff are europeans.
Who is not from europe is a guest here...
It's a forum about the west coast of america,ok,but this don't make it an american forum.
wcsoldier:
I don't even know why there is a discussion about that ... calling out people based on location is the definition of ignorance ... anyways most of the people acting that way based their opinion on the general thoughts/point of views they heard in the medias but actually have never visited the country in question ...
Raphael:
The only thing that bothers me is the Americans who try convince Europeans that football/soccer is a sport for sissys. I don't think many people "gangbang" in Europe and i dont know why it comes of as a cool thing on this board ??? but in terms of poverty there's a whole lot of countries worse of than America. I also think Xander and Messi set a bad example for Europeans on this board :D
