Your "balanced" like was a survey of 5,600 people from 4 countries.

The OP's opinion was based on, "My neighbor just returned from a trip to Italy and said that she really enjoyed Venice. However, she said that the Italians were really rude."

The OP doesn't even follow his own post, because he sort of said thank you, and hasn't commented since June 12th, when he posted that his neighbor said, "Also, visited Dbrovnik (sp) Croatia and found rudeness there."

It is ridiculous to put any weight on such comments. Let's start a thread, "Are all Scotts____? Are all French___? Are all Mexicans______? Are all African-Americans______? Are all Canadians____? Are all Italians_______? Oops, someone actually did the latter. In my own personal opinion, and you are entitled to your own opinion, this is ignorance. Now, I'll unsubscribe from such an unhealthy thread.
