I don't judge about 600 million Americans on the viewpoint of a few as
you did on about 8 million on the viewpoint of one government employee.

How you got from A to B on that one is stumping me, Martin. I compared
you to one border guard, I thought. And conditionally, at that, which
lends me the belief that you've conditioned yourself to hate the U.S.
government, and apparantly everyone who agrees with what it's doing.

This would be the same if I would judge your system by only knowing the
FAA.

Nah, use the Social Security Administration. They cut checks, after
all!

Austria never was a member of NATO and hopefully never will be a member.

I think there's mutual agreement on that note. Its strength as owner
of some important mountain passes and tunnels to the south make
needing to be a member of NATO less necessary. That, and the fact that
you arm yourselves to the teeth and every able man is in the military,
more or less.

You haven't learned much while you was here. But to complete your
pictu we live in cages and I am only online because my wive works the
generator to produce some power for the computer.

Oh, quite to the contrary.

And this is important for everyone to know about Austria:

I thought Austria was one of the most welcoming and salutory nations
I'd ever visited, except for one run-in with a remarkably officious
border guard. I met hundreds or thousands of Austrians, and can say
with certain veracity that Martin is not a representative sample of
how they actually treat people.

I became aquainted with people from Salzburg, Vienna, Graz, Bregenz,
Feldkirch, and Dornbirn. One of them was a rather ignorant
ethnocentrist with no real opinions about the news, one was better
educated and more humble, all of the young people I met were distantly
friendly, and distantly fascinated with the American way of life. I
hiked the trails, rode the trains, spent the money, ate the food, in
short, I lived there.

By all means, make a visit. Those who do will find better behaved
representatives of the country than around here.

That's not correct, you're confusing countries with continents. "Americans"
is used to describe US citizens. Mexicans, Canadians, and Americans are
"North Americans", while Colombians are "South Americans".

When the hijackers in Pakistan are checking passports, they're from
"Canada", "Columbia" and "Mexico."

"...no, no...not American's."

"Columbia" is the USA, "Colombia" is a nation in South America.

nope. no confusion at all.

true enough. But the citizens of the other countries in the Americas
don't share your US-centric view.

"North Americans", while Colombians are "South Americans".

and all those countries are in the Americas.
