Howie, I think that was the point. Your original comment came across as stereotyping. I think all Benjamin was doing was trying to highlight how easy that is to do.

No, I don't want you to go on simply because you are stereotyping all Americans. It's one thing to disagree with the foreign policies of a country but it is an entirely different thing to categorize all Americans as racists, as "glued" to tv sets, obsessed with killing others. Please keep your own stereotypical views to yourself.
