Doesn´t it just drive you crazy when people make unqualified derogatory comments about your favorite candidate, especially when you know that the message is coming from someone who doesn´t have a clue?
All of us know that DU is a popular website and can be accessed from every computer on the planet. All of us should also realize that people from all over the planet are reading the threads.
When you make unqualified derogatory comments about other nations and their leaders, especially those comments showing that you don´t have a clue, you are showing disrespect for those nations, their cultures and their citizens.
There´s nothing wrong with loving your country, nothing wrong with feeling patriotic, nothing wrong with believing that your country is the most amazing country on this planet, and there´s nothing wrong with "thinking" that every other nation on this planet is inferior to the USA, but when you "place your message" in the internet, you are simply spraying oil into the fire of hatred and cultural misunderstanding.
You represent your country just as much as the POTUS does. You may not be aware of it, but you just might have more influence on others than the POTUS does, because you have the right to choose your own words. Your words directly influence the level of peace on this planet.
