Guys, I'd really like for you to stop bickering and actually discuss the topic - disagree or agree with what is stated by all means, but stop this arguing.
As it is, I'll have to start deleting posts, and because of the recent server trouble, they'll just be moved straight to the Recycling Bin rather than deleted the traditional way, since the traditional way is causing mayhem with the database. That means if your post is deleted, you won't even receive an automated PM telling you why.
All this can be easily avoided if everyone just chills out.
Now, on to the topic:
If true, it shows that there are evil people who like to sing violent songs about killing women and children. But applying common sense, it does not necessarily follow that the entire group is evil.

Sorry, bro, but it seems to me you do hate America. Your hatred appears all-consuming and irrational. The "I don't hate Americans, just their government" line is worn out and you had best find another rationalization for your blind generalizations. This is a variant of the "some of my best friends are <insert name of ethinic group, race, national origin here>" defence. It doesn't fool anyone.
Do you realize the government of the US is democratically elected? How exactly can a "handful" of people put a government in power when there are well over a hundred million voters?
Just because a government is democratically elected doesn't mean it always does what the people want. The member you're replying to is quite clearly separating the
actions of the United States Government, of which he does not always approve, from the people of the United States, of which he does not appear to hold any ill-will toward. If the actions in question were each decided by a referendum of the American people, your protestations might hold water.
