Ron Ruward makes a good point. Paul, please do not judge individual Americans based on what the media does.
Paul, you made an excellent point in your initial post, and I defended your original view, but I believe you are going way to far down the road with this. You said:
?But, think of all the Mexicans who have been doing the crap jobs in your Country (we have them too), because no US citizen will do the jobs.
How would you cope if they weren?t here??
Gee. That simply is not true. What are your circumstances? Do you live in the United States? If so, where? I spend my winters near the Mexican border. I have hired Mexicans, not to do crap jobs, but to do craftsman jobs because they are good at it. I admire working Mexicans. Unlike some other segments of the U.S. population, they have a very high work ethic and are trustoworthy. And they exude a great happiness and joy towards life.
I think we would cope just fine without Mexicans. Plenty of non Mexicans to do the crap jobs, whatever they are (I don?t know). I have cleaned bathrooms in my time, and that is the closest thing I can think of to what you vaguely refer to as crap jobs.
Paul?. I can?t understand where you are headed with this, other than to criticize Americans for some things they do wrong and lots of things they don?t do wrong. Sounds to me like you are ?out to get? Americans. Not a very neighborly attitude. Likely I misread your intentions.
But that is a popular attitude overseas I admit. I sometimes wonder if some kind of envy is behind it. If so, there is little to be envious about, IMO. America has made some tough choices and paid some heavy sacrifices for them.
Just for clarification, do you feel anyone who wants to can just enter the United States and take advantage of any benefits offered to citizens? When you say if we don?t allow them, ?Of course, that does then leave you with nobody doing the work.? It tells me you do not really know what goes on here. There are plenty of people to do the work.
Why don?t we just leave it at the fact that the American media showed lack of thought in not allowing both anthems to be broadcast?
