User blog:Masterire/ Dear Americans, Please keep out of Foreign Politics.

This is not an attack on Americans, just "journalists" I don't mean to sound rude.If your American is this something that annoys you too? Do you think American Politicians and Media Personalities comment/intervine in things they have no clue about.

Something that's been annoying me lately is many Americans (most  being News Anchors, journalists, people from the Political Left and right and the Social Left and Right of the Spectrum) Mainstream and non mainstream expressing or reporting on foreign politics. Especially when commentating on European or Irish Affairs. For instance one non-mainstream American news station with a large following of 1.8 million  commented on how religious Ireland was, this person of had never even been outside the US. They went on to comment on how much of a conservative place it was (despite never being or knowing anything about the country) She backed up her claims with the fact you have limited abortion access in Ireland. I didn't know to laugh or punch the screen.

I'm sorry, Ireland ( despite being a historically conservative country) is still a European country. The American `Right` would appear Fundamentalist to many here. While many people declare themselves Catholic many only do this because they have been raised with the title, not the religion (especially the 1-25y year olds). Most people in Ireland would be classified as Agnostic or Irreligious. Very few people pray at all and very few under the age of 35 goes to church.

In 1995 the Diviorce referndum won by around 0.8%. Tell anybody you are against Divorce now any people would avoid you like the plague, same goes for homophobes (decriminalised 1993) ect.

The information is correct only around 1/4 of the time and the opinions are just unbelievebly stupid. If you don't live in Europe how can you say the EU is a good thing? Do you know anything about the EU?

On  youtube I saw An American street preacher come to Ireland, thinking it would be great with all the religious people, he was met with offensive remarks about his speechs, people jeering and laughing at him, echoing songs, blocking out the sound of his megaphone before having a  few parents along with a few others getting the Garda (Police) to get him to shut up for extreme hate speech.

If an German News Anchor started commenting on Domestic Affairs invloving UK politics, saying how good the Conservative Party is the first thing that would be asked is, "What do you know about British Politics" or "Their/our (depending on nationality) politics is none of your business. It seems US Politicians and media personalities think they are so amazing they have the answer to all our problems, and what, may I dare ask what is our solution? American Capitalism? I'll stick to good 'ole Europe... just as corrupt as the US, but atleast we can keep to ourselves.
