this issue was "pathetic" based on the fact that you are an educated person (I assume, although I am now having my doubts) and should know better, and that I suspected you were parroting this from somewhere.
The first part of this is my opinion and you are free to rebuke me for it with a counter-argument - you have not done so.
The second part is based on a reasonable suspicion, as you have previously referenced the fact that you read the sort of shit which would inspire this thread. There has been no attempt to refute this second point either, which rather leads me to suspect it is true.

As you don't seem to be aware of this, I should point out that I said nothing substantially more 'demeaning' regarding said country than you did, ultimately.
I was unaware that a thread all about slagging off America and making sweeping generalisations about it's political culture was not the place to make critical comments about American political culture, my apologies.

What pattern? The pattern of people having the temerity to disagree with pappy, badly-constructed opinions, (I flatter - it's a prejudice actually) which even the people who make them are not willing to defend?
Oh, the humanity!
Yes, so what do we have here up to now: a thread created to air a prejudice regarding "the left" as supposedly being intolerant and condemning any opposing points of view, in which you proceed to entirely dismiss any opposing comment as being unfounded and "demeaning".
And they say Americans don't do irony.
