Let me get this straight. You played an on-line game and ran into immature idiots? That only happens every single time I join a game! Whats that saying "if you can't stand the heat..." You get dogged out by a 12 year old and decide to come in here and let your hatred hang out?
What is racism? Prejudging an entire group of people using their race, color, religious/ethnic background, etc. Sort of what you guys are all doing here.
I am an American so I am automatically a racist, bigoted asshole? I got news for you, there are people out there that put ALL native English speakers in that category.I understand its nice to have America to blame for everything that is wrong in your life, but at some point you are going to have to face reality, no one really cares what you think, especially in America. I respect everyone and I respect everyones opinion, I treat everyone I meet online with consideration. But...
...You have no right not to be offended on the great WWW. People really do not care if they hurt your feeling, they are playing to win. Every person that came in here with their national pride/flag waving about how great they are all have the same skeletons in their countries past. The Internet is the greatest boon to free speech (and Gaming) ever created...you can piss people off at an individual level across the whole world!
The people shit talking are trying to get under your skin and off your game...and from what I am reading here its works! I don't know how many times in BF2 I have seen people get into arguments and get wasted time after time while they are busy typing.

No. I'm using your words in context. We were engaged in apologies towards our other countries when you jumped in and said [direct quote] " Quit your effin' crying.".
Unlikely, since you butted into our statements with "I just have to say".
And if you'll look closer then you'll see we already found that. Then we moved on.
Which is why we were discussing about it on a gaming board.
Nope, I've not removed any of your words. Or added any. These are all your own words.
I could, but it would serve no purpose, but given that you're now baiting me; do you want to ignore me or be a bigger man/woman/manbearpig?
Live with it. Or get mean back.
calm down necro man, does it really bother you if we complain about americans (in general) being ignorant and racist pricks? and if it really does bother you just dont read it and let us wallow in our own tears, if as you stated were "crying like little girls".
also yes i am aware racism is everywhere, ive encountered (oddly rarely tho) people who flame unnecesarily and spout profanity constantly from other countries but it just APPEARS that the vast majority are from america, no offense to your country just to the obnoxious dickheads that seem to parade around the internet.

hmm good point, but if we didnt make threads that had been made before (a long time not just the other day i mean) then this board would drop a little dead dont you think? besides it does make for some funny reading how annoying some people are, dont you think? we could always discuss something else, although what that may be eludes me right now, but ill give it a ponder.
I am always being mistaken for American. To the point where "other" Americans attempt to include me in their annoying jokes. This is especially irksome when they insult Canada (as I am Canadian). For some reason they seem to believe that we all talk like "No doot aboot it, eh?" or something.
I occasionally pretend to only speak French to annoy people. Those same guys get so upset if you don't speak in English.
I would like to note here that I don't think that all Americans are racist, just that the people who play these games frequently fall into the "jackass" category.

Not all Americans are retards
but most retards are American.
They're just jealous of "our"(hey I might be Polish, but I live in England!) sophisticated language.Whenever you're ridiculed, just remember that Britain used to own 1/3 of the world.
Too bad that now we're the biggest American non-nuclear powered aircraft carrier.Still ignore this American load of bollocks(oh wait, the American spell-check doesn't recognise such word
).
PS: CRUMPETS FTW! Let's stop listening to America's bullshit and bring back the vast Empire, we once were.

Why does everyone seem to be referring to the U.S. as America?
America is two continents-so by refering to the U.S. as America you're including Canadians, Mexicans, and everybody from South America. Pleas edjumacate yourselfs.[/previoussentenceisajoke]
But please continue to use the term "Americans" if you're talking about everybody on the land masses that make up America.

Same reason we get miffed at Blighty, Brits, Limeys, Tommys etc.The Potato Lord said:
The British Islands is quite complex in it's naming system See here [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Isles_%28terminology%29]
(And don't worry too much, some of us don't quite get it.)
Calling a Scottish person English, or any other combo is the equivalent to calling a Canadian, an American or calling an American, a Mexican. Especially as each separate nation usually has warred with the closest other more than once.
My apologies - I misphrased. I met a Brit over here who said that, who was indeed not a Londoner - I suppose he's not the norm. Serves me right for generalizing! (All generalizations are dangerous - including this one.)Mr Wednesday said:
No, it's not that bad. I'm afraid he was just hilariously stupid. Yes, we have those. As far as I know, Europe kicked its own ass in World War I, and we showed too late in the game to claim to have really kicked anyone's ass, so much as just bring along some momentum and fresh troops.Talisker said:
But I'm afraid we're getting off topic, but then again, I sort of helped the off-topicity (new word) with my rather long post and subsequent replies. I guess that's my cue to leave the thread and do some work or something.
I've only had two instances of my nationality being called into question during a game. One was this American who was way to friendly towards me, but after a while he started talking to his friends about how Canada sucked. He was very startled when I told him I was Canadian and asked where my accent was. I had no idea Americans and Canadians had different accents, aside from eh. The other time was when I was playing Halo with a bunch British people and they kept saying how much America sucked. They were confused when I agreed. I don't usually mute because I generally beat any assholes who try to harrass me at their own game, and it's funny.
I am going to invent a machine one day to allow me the ability to back hand my fellow, but ignorant, American brethren over XBL. I shall sell it and make millions.
As for the foreign discussion, I was playing CoD4 the other night when a British fellow appeared in the game. Immediately after he spoke he was bombarded with statements filled with ignorance and disgust. S**t talking is s**t talking but when s**t talking crosses the line of ignorance it's pretty lame and detestable.
So..all-in-all. XBL became a breeding ground for idiots and wankers alike. IMHO. Pretty appalling when you hear a kid, A KID(BALLS HAVE YET TO DROP TYPE), cussing over CoD4 and demanding that you shut up.
I laugh my manly laugh when that happens. lololololol
Edit: Grammar. Yada yada.

Then what do you call people living in the United States? And don't bother with Yanks, becuase I...I ain't want nuttin' ta do wit dem der damn carpetbaggin' scoundrels up Norfth.The Potato Lord said:
I think in our culture, ignorance is almost seen as a virtue. A cutesy, family friendly virtue that you're expected to uphold if you're young. This gives rise to the ridiculously ignorant children, teens, and young adults you'd find playing FPS's (which don't require much mental effort anyways) on Xbox Live.
I see it everyday at my school, people with perfectly normal minds (no retardation) just acting like complete dumbasses. I'm not sure whether it's self-mocking or not but damn, is it annoying.
I say, all your whiny eurofags need to just be silent and be glad that glorious Americaland hasn't nuked the ever loving hell out of you.
And that we saved your collective asses in Dubya Dubya Two from the menacing Hitler and that one silly Asian guy. Heh heh. Asians.
Anyways, I think you need to learn WHY it's okay for us Americans to insult you, so he's a history lesson.
You see, back during 1 AD, Christ began to walk across the Pacific (The Devil gave him the wrong directions, you see) to get to the Americas. This is where he was between the ages of 18 and 37. He was founding the godly nation of the USA. There was no one there but the Aryan United Statedians and Mexico to provide labor. And Jesus looked upon this and said "It is good". Then he made for them NASCAR to amuse themselves while they waited for either the second coming or for you Eurofags to come try and despoil our holy land. Oh, and he made mafias for those Godless Yankees.
However, in the year 1000 AD the so called Native Americans came. They spread their disease of Heathenism to the then-immortal Americans. They were very sick with it and rather than become heathens, as the disease makes you one, they committed mass suicide after sending some of their children, whom had been formed from holy asexual reproduction, across the sea to what was then termed as "Eurofag Land."
These holy offspring of America then went about inventing everything the medieval Europeans used. Even the monarchy and the revolution. And the Papacy. Thus all of European tradition and culture is really derivative of American culture, since initially all there had been in "Eurofag Land" was dirt farming. The Americans then renamed it to Europe. They considered helping Asia and Africa, but since neither had souls they decided to leave them to the wilds. They were truly a kind hearted people.
However, they ached to return to their homelands. Lief Erikson? He was really an American. An American viking. He just wound up in what we now know as Canada. Before the great exodus of America, it wasn't Canada. But the Native Americans had screwed it all up so it was named Canada since it was unworthy of the name United States and Lief Erikson, in his mighty vikingness, renamed the land to Canada. However, in the 1600s as we all know the Americans finally recolonized their holy land, which had been taken from them by the vile 'Native' Americans. That they live is a testament to our good will and grace as given to us by our Lord Jesus W. Christ. We even saved some of then Injuns from the Canandanins (Their name for themselves at the time). Bunch of unholy bastards they were. Now they're just communists. Godless communists with their drugs and universal health care and snow. Godless snow.
And that's why Americans can insult you and you can't insult us, we're God's chosen peoples formed asexually by Jesus-budding.

I was once asked if I was Norwegian during a TF2 match. I have no idea where the guy got that idea from (I'm from Florida, and last time I checked, that isn't located in Norway- unless my maps are horribly mistaken-and I have an American accent). People are strange.
