Pretty sure, from what she'd said in the article - and it's not that far off from some of the other things she's done [and admitted to believing], including actually gloating when...I believe it was Sweden? Was hit by a terrorist bomber [and how upset most of the people she knew from there were]. I can't speak for what's recently in her journal - after seeing a number of things like that I left and haven't gone back, but from what I've seen she really does believe that...and well. Acting a certain way around a specific group of people doesn't really mean you don't believe nasty things about them.

Again, I can't really judge whether someone was "gloating" over other people's pain without seeing the post firsthand.

Acting a certain way around a specific group of people doesn't really mean you don't believe nasty things about them.

Honestly, I have a hard time taking this kind of language seriously when the poor ill-used group of people we're talking about is "Americans."

Are you honestly under the belief that Americans don't get crap from other countries all the time or that the stereotypes are harmless and fully deserved? You must be new to the Internet.

Americans don't deserve what they get any more than European countries do, and Americans are certainly allowed to be offended by idiots like humon. I'm really not sure you're familiar with the comics at all because you seem to have no idea what anyone is talking about.

Here's what I believe: Americans can take it. We should not have such fragile little star-spangled egos that we cry OMG IGNORANT PREJUDICE HDU every time some comic makes a joke about, IDK, America is collectively a little too attached to its spray tanner, or pokes fun at how American tourists can be kind of loud and obnoxious sometimes. Baby eagles are not shedding tiny perfect crystal tears because someone drew a guy wearing an American flag as a toga. It's okay. We will survive.

The jokes are fine, the issue is that she, like most Europeans, seems to take it seriously. I've never been to Europe myself, and apparently you haven't either, but I've heard some horror stories about the treatment Americans (and Canadians who are mistaken for Americans) have received while traveling.

Maybe not MORE, but I think we deserve it. After all:

This man is running for president. The head of our country. Half of the country, give or take 10%, supports him in this bid.

I am from the US. I fully believe we deserve the mocking.
