I understand the reason and its a valid reason. I'm on the fence about it. Like I said. I'm not easily offended and I don't feel it applies to me. And as someone else pointed out, its a part of out history (for lack of better term since its not exactly HISTORY if it still exists).

But I do feel like its counter productive to spell America like that. Its a shameful part of our 'history', and not something I would like the COUNTRY associated with.

I wonder what ppl from other countries think when they see it.....

Dani, but it's not just "history". It's about the state of the country now.

Psst. Thats what I wrote in the parenthesies ( ).

Yes, I saw that but I can't understand the logic of just not wanting it to be associated with your country (and mine too) when the simple fact remains that it is what it is. You can't pretend it isn't that way...and just saying that you don't want it to be like that is not enough.

That's what is really counter-productive.

This is all true.

Kinda like I saw in P & R today someone was on an anti abortion rant.

And someone else said.

Well how many children do you plan to adopt?

That really made me think. Its not good enough to just be against something, you have to DO something about it.

So basically Erin, your from Canada. You have knowledge of what goes on here, but when you think of America do you think of the MAJORITY of the country being racist?

Yes. And I feel that there is racial tension between all the races. It's not just a black white issue.

And it's really not so different here. Intolerance seems to be more of a people problem than an American problem. It just seems so um....I dunno...intense there (to people like myself, who are not living in your country).

Would KKKanada offend you, though?...

Would not be applicable and no one would get it.

How could any rational person NOT think that?

I say we give ourselves another 300+ years...if we're still acting like knuckleheads I'm takin' names.

Just the stage we're at right now in our emotional and intellectual evolution as a race. I say we give ourselves another 300+ years...if we're still acting like knuckleheads I'm takin' names.

Seems humans make the mistake of thinking we've evolved mentally just because we have DVD players in our cars. But basically we're all still dumb animals.
