Re: Sorry Everybody!

That girl is probably a soldier herself, since the uniform fits and the background looks like a military base. The look in her eye, which means "I'm a heavy-metal-listenin badass lookin to kill some Hajis cause I'm straight outta fukin Doom" shows the general attitude of the military. Maybe the picture irks some people because it shows the reality of war, which is different than the perpetuated myth of soldiers being noble defenders of freedom. Oh well, what can I say...hate gets the job done.

The site is actually Dutch, and they didn't go to war like the Brits. A lot of the pictures are from all round europe I think.

Anyway, we haven't had our election yet, so don't knock us just yet tongue

Having said that, the election is next year, and I think Blair will likely win again. Not that it really matters anyway, Michael Howard is clearly controlled by the same forces as Blair. He was even given the nickname 'Prince of Darkness' quite some time ago, and he isn't very popular with the British public, and he supported the war on Iraq just like Kerry did.

For the record I do not base my opinon of Americans solely based on that girls photo. I remarked that I didn't find her picture and others funny in the context they were portrayed in and that the look in the girl's eyes reminded me of that of a predator. I didn't get "all riled up" about that, it is how it is. Perhaps the girl was just making fun. Perhaps the werenotsorry.com author got an older picture and photoshopped the "I am not sorry" text on her.
Either way I personally didn't like the joke. If someone thinks I am anti-american or look down upon americans because of this I think they are mistaken.

Uh huh, and, I wasn't referring to you specifically.  I was talking about European judgment in general about Americans.

And again.........I wasn't talking about you, bumblebee, specifically.  I was talking about **Europeans in general**.

I wasn't talking about you.  I was making a general statement about Europe's current general anti-American stance.   

And for me, personally?  I'm over this whole thing.  This is getting tedious.  It's amazing how much miscommunication and back and forth nit picking occurs on messageboards over statements which were misconstrued and misunderstood to begin with.
