Want say something about the I AM NOT AMERICAN® concept, my products or designs? Have suggestions for a new design? Able to provide another language? The Discussion board I was using has closed down. So, until I get a new one, you may also send an Email directly to comment to comments @ iamnotamerican.com (please remove the spaces first), which I may place below.
I reserve the right to edit or remove any posts for any reason whatsoever. I will not delete comments from people who disagree with my concept, unless I consider it obscene or frivolous. Make a constructive comment and use nice language and it will most likely remain for all to see. No matter what you think, you are not anonymous. If you must be childish and waste people's time, just annoy your mother.
Before you post a question or comment, please read the FAQ.

"I just saw a story about your shirts this morning on my local ABC station in L.A., and of course, the anchor had to make a little quip about how you are American because you're on the N. American continent. Funny how they don't say the same for Mexicans...Anyhow, congratulations on your success..."
"I heard about your experience with American tourists in your own country because of your t-shirt design.
I just wanted to apologize for these thugs and reassure you that most Americans, at least the ones I know, are not mindless minions of Fox News. In fact, most Americans are more concerned about the state of affairs within the borders than the rest of the world.
As an American that believes in the Bill of Rights, I support your right to free speech and self-preservation."
"I heard about you on CNN and thought that I would check out your site. ...I am an American citizen myself and am one who travels extensively around the world. When I travel I try to avoid people knowing where I came from and often try to blend in with another country that is not the U.S.A... ...Tell you the truth, I wish that I could say that I'm Canadian.
So, I just love your shirt and hope you make a lot off of them... ...Your idea about the shirt and your answer to the many negative comments were right on the money... ...I only wish that Americans would come out of the propaganda and revive something from this country, but I am already contemplating living elsewhere in the future."
"Good luck with sales. BTW - Are there any cheap apartments available up in Canada right now?"
"I'm an American expat in Germany, but don't hold it against me... ...I would probably not wear the shirt, but I certainly understand those who would.Peace be with you, bro."
"I'd love to grab one of those puppies to wear around this place (I must confess to having wilfully led Europeans to believe I was in fact a Canadian from time to time...[and] could make the occasional citation of Don Cherry or softwood lumber to bolster my case)."
"I just wanted to say what a great idea you have. I hope it's all working out for you. I too am Canadian."
"I am Canadian living here in the USA and I love your site as well as the idea for your shirts. I completely agree with everything you said about Americans abroad. I will be buying one of your shirts in the near future if my sister in Toronto doesn't get one for me first. Really good idea."
"I would like to say congratulations for the idea."
"Looking forward to buying one of the non-canada oriented designs."
"I admire your website and your T-shirt. I am a cartoonist from Seattle, WA."
"...I take offense to anything that slams other people for any reason..." (and then, in another Email from the same person) "If you are not even Canadian, then go back to Australia and promote your product there. You are not helping Surrey or Canada by living there." Go figure. Diana of Maple Ridge, BC, criticises the shirt then makes an 'immigrant go home' style comment. Nothing like being a hypocrite. Of course, she also made this comment in another Email: "It figures that you are from Surrey. Being from Surrey, you should know how it feels to be made fun of."
"A lot more than American's were killed at the trade center...If you weren't such a coward, you'd make shirts that say "Support America and support FREEDOM" (from someone who later admitted they had not visited the web site)
"hey man, i was wondering if you could make me a "i am not jewish shirt" because whenever i travel to eastern europe people think i am jewish and i really dont want to be mistaken as one... ...listen up dips**t it doesnt sound so good when you switch the cultures around does it. basically your a** is making money of bigotry. i read your s**t in the paper...keep your blood money..." (from someone in Ottawa)
"Good thing your not American because we don't need pussy French f*gs like you. Spineless f*g. Soon we will take over you country and I will make you wipe my a** after I take a nice steamy dump. Have a Terrible day. Matt
P.S I cant wait till your country has to go through the pain and suffering that we went through with Sept 11. Then you will know why we need to fight." (from an American who seems to have forgotten how Canadians so willingly helped thousands of Americans stranded as a result of the September 11 attacks)
"You don't need a T shirt to say you are canadian and not american.
All anyone has to do is see the way you are huntched over due to the lack of a spine.
If your intention is to aggravate the US and buddy up to your socialists allies in Europe, go right ahead.
America doesn't need you but you certainly need us. Don't ever forget that.
That's why most of your population speaks English." (hmm...I think he thinks the USA taught the world English. Of course, he seems to ignore the fact that it's called 'English' and not 'American'.)
