I come here to enjoy techy phone info and to share and discuss in a respectful manner.
Posting pictures about a faded American flag and mocking the twin towers (World Trade Center) with postings of french fries resembling the twin towers of 911, followed by mockery is not being respectful.
As a native Newyorker I suffered the loss of lives by the acts of 911.
I would never ever be insensitive or disrespectful if that happened in Europe or any part of the world. Like I said before, There is a subttle agenda in the messages that have been posted.
I now choose to make my last reply on this thread.
I think I've made it clear as to the irresposibility on the part of Axxr to post in the fashion that he does, with out regard or respect for others.

imo its up to laffen and the mods to decide what and how "may" posted here. i have personally no problems with the posts of axxxr and aslong the community dont make a "standup" and try to "force" axxxr to stop, he has the right to post whatever he just wants.
to be fair, your thoughts are more then well based, according your point of view. i hope that in the next future there will be a fair and well balanced solution, accepted by "both parties" here.
imo open discussions and sharing opions will lead us to that target.

You're always interested in knocking Americans.
For example: your critisim on the war, posting a picture of an American flag bleached and many other comments.
Now you are mocking or looking for something to have a good laugh on the account of America.
So what's next??? The fact that you do these things in subttle fashion, does not take away from the apparent Anti American agenda you are carrying.
I hope that others are seeing through your subttle agenda. I sure am.
I'm sorry if you feel that way,but most of us europeans do feel this resentment towards the U.S...But thats purely due to the current administrations foreign policys..I have nothing against america or the people,some of my best friends are american,and quite a few of them supoport what i do...please don't get me wrong but all of my opinions towards the america are only politicallty based,nothing more.
My critisisms of the war are justified as the vast majority of the world is against the war,including now the majority of americans,so i don't see how thats an issue?
In regards to the bleached flag,That was an artists interpretation of anti-american feeling in the world (the artist is American btw not british).My views on america are not just mine...Your argument would have been valid if i had made the bleached flag myself,but i did not,that was an American's opinion.
A lot of people have a laugh on account of america not just myself,I've seen worse anti-americanism on the J-leno and Conan'O'brian show..and We also have quite a few shows here in the u.k which much fun of the U.S to quite an extreme sometimes.
My opinions towards america are no big secret,I'm really not bothered about what people think of me or my views...sometimes some of the opinons can be harsh,but its nothing that most other people don't believe in,just that i am one of the few that say what i think out loud.
I would urge you to not take anything i say to heart,my political views are ONLY aimed towards the U.S administration,i.e: Bush,Cheney,Condaleeza and their policys which effect us all.
These topics generate debate and healthy discussion and is part of the freedoms we all respect and enjoy....Isn't that the american way?

IMO the whole thing is about respect, sure Boba, it may be a shared opinion, but I think there's a clear line between disagreeing with a countries administration and bashing the whole nation repeatedly.
America isn't the only country out there with apalling records in alot of things, yet they're the easiest target to pick on. To me it just seems as if we're kicking a horse when they're down, the fact that some of the more noticable american posters are getting annoyed by it would seem to show the same thing.
Now you say we're free to post what we want Boba? Sure, we are, however respect should be taken into it EVEN if its contrary to your own opinion. (As a broad example, and please, no one take this out of context, I could have posted the danish cartoons that caused the recent upset, my opinion of them certainly isn't the same as others, yet out of respect they weren't posted, why because we DO take other members into consideration here, to not, is just being plain malicous)
@axxxr: What should you do? IMO think twice when you're going to post something "american." We all
KNOW your opinion. The only way you could make it any clearer is by having a moon sized billboard clear to both hemispheres.. Like it or not you are a more public figure here at esato because of your news status, and that does incur responsibility.
In regards to the original post in this thread, I think it's a bloody good idea! Enticing younger people through things they like to help a nations blood supply is all good. Hell, if MTV catches onto it you'll see "Take my blood!" before long, and then everyone will think it's cool. (Pimp my veins?
)

@ Gigs,
LOL yeah, I'm sure that would get an 'A' positive (
) rating from MTV junkies!
As regards you 'addressing' the other issue manifesting itself in this thread, I couldn't have said it better matey. Well done. Diplomacy 1:v1.
