America bashing - can we please stop? (Score 0)

Seems like every article mentioning the U.S. these days turns into a bash fest. And, no, don't give me the 'bush sucks' argument. How is that related to calling everyone in the states fat? This was a post about new, fuel efficient, cars being brought into the states - and it turns into a bunch of whining euro pussies yapping about how Americans won't give up their SUVs and how how inferior the American cars/lifestyle/whatever is.

This is supposed to be a new site. We're all here to read about cool new technology and crap like that. I, for one, am sick of it all turning into a political discussion.

You know why Americans drive SUVs? It's because THEY CAN.

Here, do some reading:

From the intro:

"THIS REPORT IS ABOUT THE FACT that per capita GDP is lower in most of the countries of Europe than in most of the states of the USA. That France,
Italy and Germany have less per capita GDP than all but five of the states of the USA is probably something that messrs Chirac, Schröder and
Berlusconi don't wish to know. Or that Göran Persson is prime minister of a country which, if it were a part of the USA, would rank as one of the very poorest states in that Union? Can this be true? Is it plausible? It is both true and plausible."

Now, can we all shut up and get to things that are interesting to geeks?
