Sadly, yes. IMHO, it has gotten worse since the common perception that you elected a Good Ol' Boy as president, rather than someone suitable. No matter what Bush does in America, that worstened the hackneyed (and totally wrong) stereotype of the gun-toting loud-mouthed, not-too-bright American in the eyes of my compatriots. And we're meant to be your closest friends ...

I offer this thread up as further proof against every IWF member who has ever said "I don't see anybody bashing on the US." Even I, a lowly civilian, know to look at the rifle. Urban myth.

Yes, as do I, which is exactly why i declared it was probably an urban myth. However, given the current climate here on IW, where you need 3 links just to prove you took a shower this morning, I try to refrain from absolute statements of fact when I don't have links to hand

And one wonders why anyone ever had a problem with European elitism.  Sorry, guys, maybe someday I'll just learn to quit going against the wisdom of those who are my betters.

Yes, and quite right too. Damn colonials, always getting ideas above their station ....
