OK So I haven't been on here (as a poster) that long but in that short time i have seen 3 or 4 various "I hate America" type threads being started (i'm a Brit before the flames start )
Now correct me if i'm wrong but this a forum for chat related to (though not exclusively about) BF2....... If I wanted a geopolitical discussion about the evils of America (Or China or Russia or Wales) I would join a political based forum. Then I start seeing all this lets "bomb the shit out the ragheads" type of threads being started and again informed discussion about such matters should be the order of the day, but in this forum????
I guess my beef is that there is not one or two of these types of threads appearing each week ( I have been observing for while before i signed up) but 4 or 5 a week??. Now please don't get me wrong I like many others like the odd dig at the yanks (sorry guys but some of you are just far too easy to wind up) and many other nations for that matter, but for the most part it is just good natured banter. I for one would like to see a mandatory feild in the posters profile listing location and age ( i know easily spoofed) because i just can't beleive everyone posting here is over the legal drinking age (18 in UK, I personally look at the time the post was made to give me an indication of an age of the poster) or at least the drinking IQ.
I suppose what I am trying to say is this. On the field of BF2 we are all the same, no nationality matters no age matters no personal beleif matters.....just the game. So quit with the nation battering and just get on with life........It is far to short anyway.
Peace
