I don't think there's anything wrong with telling people to be more respectful. Nusuth isn't trying to restrict your freedom of expression; he's trying to keep you from coming off like a flaming asshole.
Second, you say you don't believe you're superior to anyone, yet in the last week or two there have been a couple examples where you imply that the British are "better" (or smarter, or whatever) than Americans.
Something tells me that if you think Brits > Americans, you're including yourself, too. So I'm calling bullshit.

Smarter, in no way, means better...If I remember rightly [Mr X] said something like "well I can't expect much better from you, with shitty Euro-commie schooling". So I pointed towards the fact the education system here is more highly regarded than there. That was ALL.
Does being smarter make anyone better than anyone else? I really don't think it does. I knew a top guy, Paul, who was really dumb but it really didn't matter - he was a genuinely decent and nice person.
And I thought I made it clear I know he isn't infringing on anyone's freedom - re-read the bit in brackets after the quote.

So now I lie. Wonderful.
That's not what I said.
You edited your post to make your point clearer, right? Before the edit, it wasn't as clear. That's all.

but to get it back on track, how can you say that there hasnt been good music this decade? my favorite song is 'hey ya' by outkast, and that song is 8 years old. but i also more current songs too like 'tik tok'.
and there have been so many incredible artists that have emerged in the past decade or so.
eminem, 50 cent, lil wayne, drake, kanye west, t.i. the list goes on.
