Foreigners are fascinated with our politics. Why?

Quote from Kassz007:

I would also disagree with envy...

I think you would be hard-pressed to find a Canadian who would admit to being envious of American politics...


I agree ... envy certainly doesn't drive the interest in American politics ...


Mine was a theory as to why Anti-Americans on this board seem to hail from abroad (or perhaps it is strategic... maybe they deserve more credit for their efforts)

I agree that a lot of anti-Americanism is due to envy.

I disagree that most anti-Americanism on this board comes from foreigners.

VOTE OBAMA THE HELL OUT!
 
He's so defensive because he's obviously another America obsessed Canadian.

Quote from Ricter:

Rather mundane reasons that spring to mind:

English speaking.
Proximity access to US based media.
Business in the US marketplace.
Significant free time.
 
Quote from Ricter:

You are referring to me? I'm American...

If you give me permission, I can confirm or deny what you're saying to the person claiming otherwise.
 
Question for Americans:

Do you believe anti-Americansim by Americans has, for the most part, originated or increased due to the economic/financial crash over the past two years or so?
 
Quote from Ricter:

I have in the past, more than once. I'm in Calgary.

Then that would correct the original stats I reported in the first post, if you are indeed American. You were one of the five I listed as Canadian. So it should only read 4 Canadians and 3 Americans - just to set the record straight.

I think there's no question it's increased.
