Not all SA's are like yumix (just so I don't get categorised as this forum has helped me loads and I would like to stay).
SA is very anti-US at the moment (mainly because of Iraq, but most of the world is, at least anti US foreign policy), and some people get over the top and caught up in the whole anti-amercanism thing (which seems to be in style). SA generally receives pretty unbaised international news but is also gets a lot of stuff from the New York Times etc (ie left leaning news). As a SA who has been living in the US for the last 6 months I also think the public here is pretty brainwashed as well just in the other direction, basically because American's don't want to believe that they have done anything wrong and the news here seems to focus on anything that will make going into Iraq look better (eg: focusing so much on the Oil for Food scandel to divert attention). The France and Germany dealing with iraq argument is a typical American argument only looking at one side and the America set Saddam up is a typical argument for a lot of the world who was upset by the way the US has handled Iraq. It's just sp plain to me from where I am at this moment. I think reality is somewhere inbetween.
We will not have abusive comments about other members, particularly long standing members, and we will not tolerate anti American comments (or anti anyone else) based on prejudice or ignorance.
Yumix is toast.

Aye, Harry
People should think what would happen if America suddenly dissapeared right now, think the world would become peaches & cream? No chance, it would go to pot and you know it. People envy America and that's ll there is to it.
