So, looking at the web logs, I know that we have players here from about 30 different countries. I just thought it would be interesting to put somes names with places.

My wife and I live in Boulder, COlorado in the U.S. Where the winter has returned for the weekend. We actually moved here pretty recently from Seattle, which is my home town.

OK. No problem at all. I know you didn't mean badly.

My advise to you though, if you say some Americans are ignorant in a thread where people are from. And then state your surprise that a European defends them. Then ignorance and someones nationality are put in relation to each other.
While in fact there is no relation at all. As every country has ignorant people. So it is more a human factor, then a nationality factor.

Lets just drop this, we both stated our points.

And you're a unique European indeed, jstkdn - a European that doesn't afraid to admit that her country isn't as big and powerful as an American state. Although I consider myself fiercely patriotic, I have to respect you on that self-consciousness.

I will ignore the last part of your posts concerning Thai stereotypes and personal attack, knowing that you posted it after false assumption that I'm a racist, stereotype-believing, judgmental person (of course, I'm not completely free from that, but I will try not to do it when talking with people from different culture.) A lot can be said when you're angry and I have no intention to take it to myself.

I am here to play game and, if possible, make some friends. I'm trying not to piss other people of. Arguing about politics isn't a good way to win friends after all. But sometimes I've to state my opinion on the issue and hope no one will be offended by that.

That's why in that post, after I had stated my opinion, I tried to lighten it up by making jokes and using smileys, like this. :)

I'm an opinionated Thai, which isn't a nice characteristic in my culture which places value on social harmony. I can't (and don't want to) change my self, because that's the way I am. :)

Since you have an Indonesian mother, jstkdn, I can say at least we have something in common. :)

By the way, I'm more interested in the Netherlands, or Holland, than Texas. Because I'm a history freak and European obsessor, and because Holland was one of the first countries who came to trade with Siam hundreds of year ago. :)

And I said in that post I hope I didn't piss off any American. Ironically, I pissed of a European instead. :)

Oops, didn't realized you're around until I posted the last comment.

No hard fellings and no offense taken, okay? :)

Let us turn this thread back to where it belongs - a thread for people to introduce myself and make friends, not a political arguement thread.

Peace.

heh. just 'cause I'm a nerd, I went through and read this whole thread.. and discovered two other Floridians.. one seems to be no longer active, and the other actually lives in the same city as me, Jacksonville.. though I'll admit, I do not know this city well, since I moved here from where the space shuttles go up at...
