CJ - I disagree with you and don't feel I'm clutching at straws
Chris even posted he could have titled the thread differently and that was enough for me to drop the issue
However
\Non-\ [L. non, OL. noenu, noenum, fr. neoenum, lit., not one. See None.] A prefix used in the sense of not; un-; in-; as in nonattention, or non-attention, nonconformity, nonmetallic, nonsuit.

non-american means not american and a title of proud to be not an american implies a derogatory feeling toward Americans

oh and as far as currency, whenever you're ready to trade me like amounts of American Dollars for Aussie dollars I give you please let me know
:P

your bringing out a dictionary definition of 'non' to show me that the title was meant to be anti american?!!?!?

LMAO

clutch away!!!

would the title 'proud to be canadian' have been the same?! probably, but to me it means the exact same thing ... canadian = not american. australian = not american. french = not american. iraqui = not american. i'd agree with you if a french person or iraqui person posted it ... nothing but a technicality

oh and as far as currency, whenever you're ready to trade me like amounts of American Dollars for Aussie dollars I give you please let me know

in about 6 months
:P

seriously, hopefully never ...
