No offence to NE members but this is the usual mentality and difference between countries.
Aussies and Kiwis, some Southern Africans and maybe Brits:
"Oh that was fine, a good show, everything went smoothly without much drama ..."
"That was a fair show."
"That buffalo was little bit cheeky."
"Buffalo are easy and can be hunted with medium rifles. What do you need that cannon for?"
An Aussie book title: "A jerk at both ends", "Brother to the Dingo"
Some other cultures:
"That was the most dangerous situation I have been in my life. Most people could not have survived the death dealing situations, but my excellent training and experience, carried me through. It was literally death at my feet!"
"Africa's Black Death. Kills more people than gnats do every year. You need the biggest .600 Loud-n-Boomer shooting 2000 gr bullets at 3000 fps in a 5 lb rifle to take these furious beasts of hell!"
Book and video titles: "I've dealt with death my whole life", "Death Death and More Death, My Life", "Deader than Dead! But it is the dead ones than kill you!"
Ha ha, only generalisations and mostly in humour.
"the usual mentality and difference between countries" and "Ha ha"? Still nice to know your general opinion about Americans based on the above and your previous post. Some minor validity but mostly based on what you choose to see vs. the reality of the vast majority, who wouldn't be caught dead promoting themselves or in company with the tacti-cool ass hats. You must choose to watch/read a lot of US-based bad programming and "literature". Good on you.
I met an Aussie a few weeks ago who was very unusual. He didn't start lambasting American and Americans until 10 minutes into his conversation instead of the usual 5.
Moving on.
I'll send you a "Hurt Feelings Report" post haste ...
Most guys on here and my American friends know how I think and the respect I have for their country and them.
Now I must go and look for some posts on here offensive to Australians so I can have a huffie too and storm off too. That French guy larcher is always a good place to start if one wants to get insulted. 
A sense of humour is also sometimes a cultural difference, though almost all NE guys that stick around have a good one. And probably need one. 
The guy above sounds like he missed taking his estrogen shot that morning.. Can't please everyone... 
Dang--am I agreeing with you too much???
