Questions about the voting system in USA

[Kevin]

Actaully despite my patient answers, I too saw an interwoven derogatory tone in the original quesiton, and it isn't the first time I have noticed it from Jarulf either. But, I choose to ignore it, mostly. My response was couched a bit in a "silly European, don't you realize just how damn big this country is?" though it was toned down from the original response during some edits. I was upset and glad when Occhi blew up because it echoed some of my lesser feeling, but it also was an admitted over-reaction that didn't really help the case if America bashing really was intended. I decided to stay the hell out of that until things had cooled down. So it isn't just Occhi who saw issue. I think others that may have seen it decided to stay the hell away from it as well after Occhi's response.
