First of all, IT WAS A JOKE! The sweet air of freedom line is a quote from South Park. The rest was a sarcastic comment on the stereotype people like you have of the "Arrogant Americans". Ironicly you proved my point and showed you have no sense of humour in the process.
Secondly, how dare you accuse me of electing that moron in the White House, but hey, at least I can call my president a moron as much as I want. Ain't freedom great?
Most hated nation on earth? That's idiotic. Look at the long list of U.S. allies. Most countries that hate us do so because of jealousy, everyone hates the guy on top. No nation in the world is not hated by others.
To get to the original point. Slashdot is an American site. Someone was even kind enough to list a link a few replies down that showed the editiors comment that this site IS and IS SUPPOSED TO BE US Centric. You don't have to read it. I don't go to UK sites about news in the UK and bitch that they are UK Centric DO I???
The internet is global and that cannot be changed. However, a lot of sites have local interests. Crap do you go to a site specifically about one little city in Idaho and bitch that they don't talk about Germany enough? It's the Europeans and English (just to completely generalize as you so kindly did) that have the attitude that the world revolves around you and that youu are above the lowly stupid and arrogant Americans. Well, if anyone is on top, as irrelevant as it may be, we all know who that is.
You're just mad because you can't come here or you'll choke on the sweet air of freedom. Stop bitching, the US is the most relevant country and has been since WWII. Godamn foreigners...
Isn't the big question here "who gives a shit?" Obviously if they use a credit card then they will get their money from their credit card company. If not they should get it returned by AOL. But, in all honesty, if they haven't learned that AOL isn't a good ISP by now, it's almost their own fault. Of course AOL is at fault for screwing them, but at least they might finally learn their lesson...
