yet another anti-American thing to piss me off
Lars von Trier, this time. He was spouting off about the flaws of America and American society, yet he's never even visited the US!
How can he claim to have any real understanding if he hasn't visited? And how can he really think that the perception he gets from the media is an accurate reflection? Hollywood isn't America. The New York Times isn't America. How can you know what American society is like if you've never experienced it?

I've never judged an Iraqi by the actions of Saddam, and similarly I never judge an American by the action of a Bush.
The similarities between European and North American culture and lifestyle far outweigh the differences.
