Why do foreign people come to YA (an American enterprise) and Fake they are Americans Bashing Bush?

Question

Are there no camels to feed or rice to be picked? When you come here and claim to be American yet "love" Che or Marx Or Osama We know who you are.


of course Americans are welcome to bash our government. But really all you Muslim extremists and Commies and Non Americans really need to stifle it.

Plank Perhaps it is time for an Americans Only forum in Politics and Yes YA should find a way to establish nationality

Answer 1

haha!

Answer 2

I doubt that there are many foreign people who are on here criticizing Bush. Yahoo Answers is split 50-50 between Bush supporters and non-Bush supporters, while 70% of the American people are opposed to Bush. So, the hypothesis doesn't make sense.

And of course, there are many Americans who are Communists (there are alot of Marxist 3rd parties in America, though Marxists obviously have no chance of political success), though I doubt that anybody supports Osama bin Laden (even the 9/11 conspiracy theorists think he's a CIA asset and definitely don't support him) except for the small number of nutcases who have joined al-Qaida.

Yahoo Answers is also not just an American site. By default, questions are shown from all English-speaking countries, not just America (though there is a setting to filter out questions from other countries). There are also versions of Yahoo Answers in other languages (such as Spanish, French, German, and Italian).

Answer 3

Finally! people are opening their eyes to see the truth and the facts displayed here speak for themselves. After that great answer from gypsy_cat 345, i haven't got much to say except that people like Vanessa should look at the bigger picture and make her own assessments, rather than believing in what the media WANT people to believe. also, i don't think people should balme the Islamic RELIGION for the actions of ignorant so-called Muslims who claim they are acting on its behalf. secondly, i don't think Israel is JUST a small country that wants to be left alone. If this was the case it would not have waged a full-blown war on lebanon, killing thousands of people in order to regain 2 of their soldiers who were captured by Hezbollah. Shouldn't they think about releasing the 1000s of lebanese prisoners currently in Israel! Thirdly, Muslims do not have anything against Jews. The issue is with the Zionists and Israelis. BTW, I am NOT Lebanese. I'm simply stating what i beleive is the truth

Answer 4

I don't fake being an American at all give me some credit.
I make no bones about my 'dirty pinko socialist sympathies'.
And I fully expect some flak back from people supporting the
current potus.
I just think his policies are either all wrong or seriously mismanaged mainly due to arrogance creeping in after re-election.
Anyway this is the World Wide Web and my country apparently is too small to warrant their own Yahoo Answers.
So I hang out on the English language site comfortably from
my lovely city of Amsterdam ,The Netherlands.
I ain't hidin at all, my E-mail on my profile is still open and there for all to see and comment ( just like yours....Kudos for that ). The US can't pursue a wild foreign policy of shooting first and asking questions later without the rest of the world
taking an interest, you're just to damn big and influential.

Answer 5

I did not know this was an Americans only forum.
If anything, I think they are welcome to post here.
You are not afraid of what they might say are you?

On edit: I still don't understand why it upsets you that non Americans may be posting in this section. YA does not restrict this community to specific nationalities. I would be concerned it if did.

In the market place of ideas, the truth is supposed to win out. Limiting debate by nationality seems unnecessary and potentially despotic.

Answer 6

There are separate forums for different countries. See those flags at the very bottom? Those are clickable. It's just unfortunate that most foreign trolls either 1) aren't smart enough to find their own page 2) Don't know what their national flag looks like or 3) just want to rant about "the evil west."

Answer 7

They are just trying to do what's fashionable. I think most of these people are Brits who are listening to Green Day while posting anti-American propaganda on everything from politics to football vs. rugby.

Answer 8

1) because they can
2) because Yahoo says they can
If you have issues (and I suspect you do ) tak it up with at yahoo... I'm sure they will listen to another yahoo


PS Thor is not american, so can we ask you to leave too?

Answer 9

I think purly for entertainment purposes

Answer 10

Arent you tired of hearing yourself speak yet?
Im not signed into your precious yahoo america. Im signed into yahoo7 from australia.
Your know it all attitude is why noone likes americans.
Well at least its attitudes like that that give rise to so many bad stereotypes!

You wont see me doing that scredog.
maybe you get a lot of mexicans but the actions of those whose border you share is hardley indicitaive of how the rest of the world feels.

Answer 11

How do you know they're fake?

I'm in Ohio, a mental socialist who loves Che, and can't stand GW.
