Who ever said I'd never been there? I have.
there are also plenty of places I haven't been I would not like to go, because we have things called 'Television' and 'The Internet' that tell you about places without you having to go there. limited I grant you but it makes more sense that visiting every corner of the globe just so you can decide which bits you like.

I too make my assessments of vast countries based on fictional entertainment set in them.

That Mordor looks canny

OK - where have you been?
Writing off an entire continent - especially one that size - is pretty difficult.

It's one thing saying "Midsomer Norton is shit", it's another saying "I wouldn't like to go to Somerset."

I think you are being a little overly defensive here old chap
I said " I can think of few places I'd less like to go to than America" and I think you read this as "I hate america, all Americans are thick fat and stupid and I'd like the whole continent to fall into the sea" and then added "I've never been there or met an american and am basing all this of watching TV shows".

I'm just not that interested, this may also be because there are a whole long list of European places I'd like to visit and quite a few non-Europe + non-america places too. Now granted I'm not being overly positive about the place and I'm sure they have some lovely bits, but I reserve the right to not be interested in going there with out justifying myself to your silly over-blown internet anger.

I think you may want to reconsider that post
and aim it at Tangles.

Fair enough, though the phrasing "I can think of few places I'd less like to go than" needs work.
