All I've gathered from this thread so far is that foreigners have a false sense of entitlement that makes them feel that it's okay to comment on American politics. I have not read a single concrete point that has convinced me otherwise.
If the consequences of American politics just affected Americans alone, and didn't for instance mean that I, a non-American citizen, was subject to things like random police searches when I want to use public transport in a city over 5000 miles from Washington, I probably wouldn't give much of a fuck about it either, largest English-speaking democracy in the world or not.
no offense dude but I'm pretty sure the searches you are subject to are a direct result of people trying to blow you guys up also.
Maybe you'd like to have foreigners move to another planet and only comment on elections on their own planet?
No, that would drive the costs of outsourcing American jobs for American products way up. I mean, the shipping alone would be totally cost-prohibitive. The entire industry of exploitation/sweatshops/child labor would be ruined. America can't have that. We just need you to shut up and get back to work.
Did that just happen?
Nah, dummy, it's been happening for a long-ass time.... you didn't know?
Swing and a miss. Shall I put it on a tee for you?

Not sure where that graemlin came from, actually. Probably one of Dollar Bin's creations. I'd credit it to Controller7, but it's small and doesn't unfold in three acts. Unlike, say, this one:

Oh, no doubt. In fact, motherfuckers have been trying to blow us up for years, but we'd finally managed to sit down with the IRA and get all that shit sorted out (kinda). And whilst I'm not going to say that Iraq and all that is the only reason that we Brits now find ourselves having to navigate our way through a whole load of new bullshit, the fact that we do can almost certainly be considered, although not exclusively, to be an "indirect effect" of the last two American elections.
i'll agree that the U.S. is far from exemption of the world's scrutiny but i wonder if some of these people should look in their own backyards. no country on this planet is remotely perfect.
