Dear Theo,
although I can't help but feel an innate superiority over you and your fellow countrymen, and naturally find most Americans hard to bear, I do accept that, perhaps, in the past, I may have been rather harsh in treating you all with the same degree of disdain.
As my favourite foreigners, which is, admittedly, like talking about my favourite viral infection, I imagine that at least some of you probably are not the fat, loud-mouthed, ignorant, brainless empty headed buffoons that you may appear to be, to the common observer.
However, I must say, I do find you in particular unbearably smug at times, and I am quite rightly repelled by your enthusiasm for the Death Penalty, which, even if you do believe it is necessary, hardly warrants the frenzied bloodlust we have seen you display recently.
I can understand it from the likes of 'colleen', who, quite frankly, appears to be particularly dimwitted, but you sometimes exhibit a degree of intelligence.
Likewise, your obsessional compulsion to foist your support for your country's Foreign Policy on us at any and every opportunity, on thread after thread, is both wearisome and mind-numbingly tedious, as is your determination to have your say about each and every item doing the rounds on your news channels.
We. Don't. Care.
Having said that, I suppose my constant cynicism and sarcasm could become rather tiresome for some of your compatriots, who may struggle with the concept of irony, and I imagine my observations may skirt the boundaries of taste and decency on occasion, just as my absolute disregard for any notions of Political Correctness may irk somewhat.
In my defence, I consider myself a free-thinker, and therefore nothing is 'unsayable' or unthinkable to me. Everything is simply raw material for reflection, consideration, discussion or dismissal.
I am a misanthrope by nature, which includes being both xenophobic and mysoginistic whenever I feel so inclined.
So, there really is no need to take it quite so personally if I appear to be unkind, as I don't particularly like anyone, as you can see, although I have met wonderful exceptions, and remain hopeful of meeting more.
