"My warning / blocking for expressing opposition to the US ideal
"Since you mentioned that I wasn't offended. You are correct that I was not offended by the statement you made that got the block.
But I do feel bothered, though I'm not sure if it's hurt, annoyance or what, by statememts like this.
There are US policies that I oppose and there are some I agree with. But when I feel that they are all being lumped together as one, I find myself in the uncomfortable position of having to defend my country - even when I agree with some of the points you make.The only things I would call our "ideals" are the same things that have people beating down the door to get here: reward for hard work, opportunity and freedom.
The rest is just details. And it seems that as hard as I try I just can't seem to show you the difference.
