>>Ok, now we're on the same page. I guess I should have put something in the post referring to him, because that's who's attention I was really trying to get. Like you, I'm tired of his slamming USA posts. I'm not this great patriot, but it bother's me after while that all he posts seems to be about that. If he was somewhat equal in his rantings - other countries, etc - then it might not get to me as much. You're right about the culture. Since he does seem to get many of his views from movies and google searches of "bad america" I guess I shouldn't expect too much.

Not trying to be funny at all. I'm just completely weary of your one-faceted views on the USA.

>I'm not a conservatist man as like you. I'm critizing my country everytime and a lot of people look like as you me in my country... (First of my father of law and my dad was before he die) :))

I have never heard you criticise your own country's government. I'm guessing you would not want that in print.

>I really don't try search google for anti-american news. I read and watch some news in turkish media and after that I search some english articles about these news.

Why respond only on the anti-American articles then?

>Orhan Pamuk didn't get any punishment about this issue. He exonerated.

What about the other 60 authors?
