I'm just wondering why Anti-Americanism is still news? Its rampant, its everywhere, and everyone has their opinion on it.
Aren't people sick and tired of beating this dead horse?
Its easy to find articles on anti-americanism. Now, what about other countries. Anti-Canadianism. Anti-Switzerlandism. Anti-Australianism. THOSE would be stories worth reading because finding examples would be very hard.
I think we should get more creative with the "Anti-Nation" news stories and posts. I think the discussions would be more interesting than the "Pro-US/Anti-US" poop throwing that always happens. |

The cries of an empire in its last throes. Thing is, nobody cares, including most Americans.
Just smile and nod. |

The posts seem to differ. Search anti american and you get a whole slew of posts.
It isn't Americans posting threads talking about anti-Americanism. |

Christ... One word: Gopher. Search "antiAmerican." That's his schtick. He has started a goodly number of the antiAmerican threads. And he's an American. Republican.
Go figure.

Actually, I think you'd only need to check the media of a neighboring country to find examples.
I once had to work with two Brits, and I swear they couldn't go more than 30 minutes without flaming the French, Germans, Irish, Scots and Spanish when they weren't knocking the US. They had nothing good to say about the Dutch, Danes and Italians either. It got really tiresome really fast. |

Or is it anti Yale-ISM
Maybe just anti-theft. Peru is presumably grateful for Yale's role in rediscovering Machu Picchu nearly 100 years ago, just don't steal everything! 
Yale to return Machu Picchu artifacts
Sun Sep 16, 2:44 AM ET
LIMA, Peru - Yale University has agreed to return thousands of Inca artifacts taken from Peru's famed Machu Picchu citadel almost a century ago, the government said Saturday.
"Finally it has been established that Peru is the owner of each one of the pieces," Housing Minister Hernan Garrido Lecca, who led negotiations with Yale, told Lima's Radioprogramas radio.
The New Haven, Connecticut-based university said in a statement on its Web site that some of the pieces will remain there temporarily for research, but did not specify how many.
Peru demanded the collection back last year, saying it never relinquished ownership when Yale scholar Hiram Bingham III rediscovered Machu Picchu in 1911. All told he exported more than 4,000 artifacts including mummies, ceramics and bones from what has become one of the world's most famous archaeological sites.
Yale responded with a proposal to split the collection. Negotiations broke down, and Peru threatened a lawsuit.
Under the agreement, Yale and Peru will co-sponsor first a traveling expedition featuring Bingham's pieces and later a museum in the Andean city of Cuzco, the ancient Inca capital.
"This understanding represents a new model of international cooperation providing for the collaborative stewardship of cultural and natural treasures," Yale said in the statement.
The ruins at Machu Picchu, located on a mountaintop above a lush valley southeast of Lima, are Peru's top tourist attraction. |
