mate i have nothing but respect for america in most things an the net is a great medium to share knowledge but an this may sound like a negative comment about amricans as a whole but in general an im not talking about most of the people on here but you gotta understand the " shooting off your mouth comment" is based on a perception that ppl like alexio won their titles in the usa fighting mostly hand picked usa fighters an than claim to be world champions.I think sometimes that america after sept 11 (worst thing ive ever seen)have realised that the world exists outside its own shores. I have a friend in the states who didnt know much about kickboxers outside of american up to last year an he claims to be a fan an if you asked him about international news all he knew was what was happening in the usa papers ??.
I've found the usa contributors on here very knowlegable an fair but i guess the net helps to open ppls mind on the world...shit that was too deep for me lol.
