In my book its a totally BAD thing to talk about someones personaly life or family. No one says you have to like/dislike America, or Canada, or whatever country you live in. Countries are outside the individual because they act on a global scale and can affect people in different places. This gives me the right within reason to say I trust or distrust a country, i.e. governing body or whatever. IMHO you cross the line by talking about someones personal life unless you happen to know them, i.e. you live around the corner and have interaction with the person and therefore are affected by something in their personal life and have earned the right to be able to say something about it. It's too close to the 'yo mamma' jokes of the past that are funny to some and deathly offensive to others. And by the way, you quoted my words where I said "if" you had said it about me and "if" you didn't apologize. There is a whole lot of room for compromise in that statement. Slightly big talk and I hope I didn't offend some others here with it...internet muscles or not, but at least you will walk away from this conversation with some new knowledge about how others view your potentially offensive statements too.
