I think we can all agree that there is no 'perfect' government or country on this planet. And while it may seem like hypocrisy for someone from another country to spend their time bashing the U.S. without saying a word against their own country, I can't seem to see the logic behind someone having to publicly declare their problems with each and every other country in order to make a criticism about the U.S. in a thread specifically on that subject.
But I'm just a lowly member - you're the mod. Do as you will.
