Re: Analysing "real" unemployment. (none / 0)

Maybe it's because criticism against one's own group (see: "I'm an American") doesn't get people as fired up as criticism against other groups of people? Not that it's necessarily different (see: "das juden!"), mind you.

I haven't been reading this thread anyways, hence my silence was deafening through absentia.

I don't know, how would you react to my saying: the French are arrogant pricks (I'm French), who rarely live up to the human-rights and environmental blabla ideals they pretend to hold dear (witness nuclear testing or Afghanistan).

How dare you, young man?

In anticipation: how dare you dare my how dare you? (one of my favourite lines from a Leslie Nielsen movie, can't remember which one).

I would react by saying, "But, Alex, you seem like such a great person."
