Clocker-

You weren&#39;t kidding about your newfound uploading skills, were you?

The av is cool, too-I recommend a synthetic lubricant and a magnetic drain plug, although I&#39;m sure the machine work on those gears is so precise you won&#39;t suffer any chip contamination.

I think there is such an anti American spirit in the Europe today that you are in the minority.
More and more americans are feeling the way I do.
I am 40 years old and I never in my wildest dreams did I think that Americans would be so dispised in Europe in my lifetime.

its this kind of comment that explains why americans are not well liked -- obliviousness. its not that europeans or others around the world have just begun to resent americans; the invasion of iraq was just another, particularly obvious example of why such resentment exists. the basic problem with the american public is that they believe their government&#39;s propaganda. living in a world/super/hyper power is typically so.
...
i guess i should read through the whole thread before posting. sorry. but still, i&#39;m firmly of the belief that the average american is far less informed of world politics than others in the West, and its no coincidence. this is not a personal attack on individual americans...its a systemic thang.

Really?
If it&#39;s not a coincidence then what is it?
You may not approve of the filters through which our information is poured ( nor may I), but we are saturated with information over here.

clocker, i can&#39;t tell if you&#39;re disagreeing with my point or not, but i agree that americans are saturated with filtered information. what i&#39;m saying is that the filtering is far beyond that of other democracies, so much so that it becomes a difference of kind, not degree. i didn&#39;t think there was anything all that spectacular about the &#39;not a coincident&#39; observation...
