  1. I agree ... envy certainly doesn't drive the interest in American politics ...


    Mine was a theory as to why Anti-Americans on this board seem to hail from abroad (or perhaps it is strategic... maybe they deserve more credit for their efforts)

  2. I agree that a lot of anti-Americanism is due to envy.

    I disagree that most anti-Americanism on this board comes from foreigners.

  8. Question for Americans:

    Do you believe anti-Americansim by Americans has, for the most part, originated or increased due to the economic/financial crash over the past two years or so?

  9. Then that would correct the original stats I reported in the first post, if you are indeed American. You were one of the five I listed as Canadian. So it should only read 4 Canadians and 3 Americans - just to set the record straight.

  10. I think there's no question it's increased.
