My bible-belt aunt polluted my inbox with this message this morning.
I don't have a problem with people voicing their opinions about the world theater, as long as they are educated, meaningful opinions. This, however, is meaningless garbage. No context, no explanations, just a conclusion -- because these nations vote "against" us, they hate us.
It's infuriating.

Yes, no wonder the rest of the world has no respect for us, when we wear our ignorance and our arrogance on our sleeves. When we expect to be "agreed" with because we are big and powerful, and therefore we must be right. When, it is perfectly safe to say, we vote against all of these other countries equally often as they vote against us.
