What else is there to your observation, if not an implied complaint? It's obvious that we are from different places and have different things about us--in fact it's SO obvious that there's nothing there to make a thread about.

Nope. I wondered if I was alone in seeing this board as inhererntly American in character, because when I posted that it was disagreed with. I can't be arsed to go back and count how many times I stated that it wasn't a problem, it wasn't a complaint, I didn't have an issue with it, I really like this board, I enjoy the different perspective I get here. Quite apart from the fact that anyone who reads my posts should know this anyway - I revel in the differences because of what they teach me.

The second, unfounded complaint you have is that Americans have a "blind spot" to the obvious thing you think you are so clever for having observed.

There's no second complaint as there is no first complaint. But questioning someone else's opinion isn't a complaint anyway. I don't think I'm clever for having a different opinion to some people on this board, no. And there are Americans on here who have seen what I am trying to say.
