Absolutely beautiful,  you are one of the smartest people on this site.  Yes they should when you go to another country you need to respect their culture and flag.  I would not go to mexico and wave an american flag.

Your Question has nothing to do with Politics & Government - Its about YOU but I will give YOU an answer.\nI have met people like you abroad and they are usually a pain in the ass.\nI live overseas and the British are highly respected and in any social context  I avoid people like you,as you are an embarrassment.\nIf I had the power and you talked in my presence like this overseas, as you say you do, I would strip you of your nationality and send you to live in a country of that you think is so much better.\nWhy not go to live in Australia.\nBut I am sure you are one of these people who moan about everything yet contribute nothing - lots (too many) of you around.\nAs to your actual Question - "Does it make you Unpatriotic" Yes, but actually no one cares about your silly oppinion, as you are probably half pissed in some bar in Spain.

As an American with a Mexican background I find that very offensive. All my realtives came into this country legally. And why are you just picking on the Mexicans? What about all the Asians, Indians, Middle Easterns, Russisns, Europeans, etc....who are here illegally. It's fine to leave them, but pursecute the Mexicans? You need to get a reality check and think about what you say before you say it. And just for your information, this country was created by immigrants.

I don't offend.  It's a free country.  People can say whatever they want to say and think whatever they want to think. Something can only be offensive if one doesn't allow for other people's thought and feelings and fervently believes that any view other than their own is wrong and therefore is offensive.

most likely not, they have strict guidelines as to bringing food into another country... I went to canada a while ago, they were more concerned about the food and stuff that was in the cooler, than the beer I was bringing back

It's not offensive at all... They were not such a well-intended guys. Well, I'm from Romania and if someone asks me if i speak german.. i just say "no, i don't".

Probably pretty immensely, and I must say, you have a good point. I don't understand why people are so touchy about their race. My grandfather was an Estonian (Teeny country on the Baltic) who immigrated to the US, and I don't get uptight when someone jokes about my heritage. But, if a person's grandfather was an African immigrant or Mexican immigrant, they'd be immensely offended if someone made jokes about their family's nation of origin. I don't think the minority argument stands, because even though I'm white, Estonians are certainly more of a minority than Mexicans or Africans.

Well, now days anything can happen if you say the wrong thing and offend somebody. But I agree. Where did the rights of freedom of speech go? And I always wondered why we have to allow blacks into our colleges, but they can dissallow whites into theirs. Isn't that racist? So it's okay for them to be but we can't? Other nationalities have different cultures, therefore we get into different negative situations. If we have to allow for their differences,they shouldn't take advantage of it. They should in the first place realize they came from their country to the United States. They need to follow our country rules, they are not here to start their own country in the middle of ours.

sukey, we are d*mned if we do and d*mned if we don't! I am all for The United States of America staying out of other countries messes. It would save us a fortune and they could all see just what things would be like without our help. Maybe they are right and they can handle it all themselves, but I sure know that we have been called on to help other many times and we get slapped in the face after it is all over. Fortunately we know what kind of country this is and what kind of people we are, so their nasty little comments don't have the affect they hope will happen. \n\nS.S.

Of course you should be allowed to hold on to your culture...as long as you aren't trying to force your culture onto other people, or change their culture to suit you. For example, if I were mentally and physically retarded and decided to move to France, I wouldn't expect the French to learn to communicate with me in English or expect them to install ramps everywhere, so that I could get around in my wheelchair better, or expect the country to support me via welfare, and then claim discrimination when the French complained about doing that. Lots of immigrants to the U.S. expect current citizens to change their culture, and most people don't want to do that. Most people here welcome any immigrants who come in legally, work for a living and learn the language: English. Aside from that, you can do whatever you want within the limits of the law. Live and let live.

That's a stretch, AT BEST.  \n\nTake bird flu for instance.  It would affect most countries, regardless of race/region/etc.  \n\nThe potential worldwide economic fallout from that would not discriminate.

No, I dont think you are wrong to be bothered.  At the very least, its extremely insensitive, at most, he is likely an American-hating person that is likely just at Yahoo Answers to bait Americans.  If he's American (or a number of other nationalities) he has the right to free speech though- but you also have the righr of free speech, which means you are more than welcome to mention your anger over his free speech.

It depends who THE PEOPLE are.If you mean everyone the world or England as a whole then no I don't think so.If you mean Muslims then definitely NO labour are to scared to put sanctions on any culture but christian because they are so P.C the British  are the most accepting culture of differences for example we don't ban hi-jabs like Holland,or France who have banned them in schools.personally I believe they are degrading to women like they are second class citizens but that's my opinion who am i to force that on anyone, the same way certain sects of Muslims feel they can tell me what to think and feel by killing innocent people.  Muslims or any other religion , no body has the right including the labour government to kill for belief which are not the same as there own.
