Joan's right,though. You can't assume everyone was THAT upset 'bout MJ dying. It's not realistic to think so.Like she said, he was a great artist and all, but don't act like he was some sort of perfect deity. I actually respect her for saying those words. Not a lot of people ever had the guts to say that.

@FabGirlJulia I'm sure Joan is deeply offended by your criticism. NOT

@Quinibus It doesnt mean its true, but the ones that hate america i believe that why they hate it, or at least a big part of the reason. But its pretty normal to feel to hate someone that is or at least pretends to be better than the rest, probably thats why i herd a few people talking bad about china since they are the new hot-shots.

[jamelia1111111]

@Quinibus I'm not saying this to argue, but trust me, as bad as being a southerner, its not compared to being romanian, every western european country i've been i had to hide that im romanian because all people know about romanians is that we are poor stealing gypsies. And i'm sure not all americans are like i said, but i did see a lot of americans that talk and act ilke that, i mean isnt that why "the whole wrold hates america"? i put it in between paragraphs because its just a saying

[Quinibus]

@Quinibus ... if you're a Southerner and you live in the US you generally either have to hide the fact that you're Southern to get anywhere or be taken seriously by anyone, or you have to just grow thick skin whenever anyone insults your family by calling you "inbred" or whatever. So anyhow, yeah, I know what it feels like to have people unfairly make assumptions about you based on the place you come from.

[Quinibus]

@Quinibus ... population despised her. But, because she's on TV, or in the news, people in Europe can easily assume "well, all Americans must be like that." Problem is, they aren't.

As for bias against Romanians, I'm a Southerner. If you're a Southerner in this country everyone assumes you're a dirty, poor, illiterate racist who is married to his sister and lives in a trailer park. I have a feeling it's not too dissimilar to the way some people must treat Romanians in Europe.

[Quinibus]

@Quinibus ... The problem, I think, comes from the fact that because America is such a big country, with only two parties, in order to get elected certain politicians have to say things that they think will appeal to broad cross-sections of voters, and sometimes that takes the form of "America is the Best" talk. But that's a minority of people who think that way.

Take Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin was never a popular figure in this country (not really). Broad segments of the American ...

[Quinibus]

@jamelia1111111 But that's my point - you can't really say you know anything about the United States if all you know about are things you've seen on television or popular culture. I hear foreigners talk about the United States all the time and they invariably have it wrong. As for all Americans thinking that they're better than everyone else - that's not really the case. There are a lot of people here (probably the majority) who think the opposite (at least in some regards) ...

[jamelia1111111]

@Quinibus superior to others. I imagined if i lived in british empire times, how much i would hate them, a little counrty take over the world. Anyway

[jamelia1111111]

@Quinibus are a citizen of a country like mine, i was expecting you would stop talking to me after i said im romanian thinking who gives a shit, she is a gipsy. which im not by the way. Anyway, america has done great things and so has europe or japan or others, what bothers me is when one person or one country thinks is better and superior than everyone else, and many americans think like that. I herd many dont even consider the rest of the world to exist, thats just wrong. Nobody is

[jamelia1111111]

@Quinibus I never been to america no, but i dont have to go to a country to see how it is or make a general or deeper impression of its people. We do have media. And i'm sure america has its culture but europe is where most culture took place. And i dont hate americans but so many americans are way to entitled and become obnoxious because of that. And trust me, you dont know what it means to be upset of what people talk of your country and its people without knowing them, until you
