[L2love]

[I)eadnerzhul]

Nevermind.

 

[Ziggen]

To me it seems that most americans are way too... Proud..? Like, they think they are kings of the whole fucking world, there's not a shit out there better than them. And yes, America is very big and great and has the latest technology and all that, but anyway, they don't have to act like that. I don't say everyone says it, but some of you should have experienced that too. For example, I'll show this quote I found on youtube recently:

WARNING! A lot of naughty words in here.

lol u fucking britian america is the superpower and who cares if were fucking up the world thats what we are you asshole its ur fault ur grandparents didnt come to america but stayed and got fucked by the whores on the streets that have fucking armpit hair!

Get what I mean?

 

[noob134]

Why are people making sweeping generalizations that all Americans are automatically pompous assholes?
Everyone is different, and the people dont always stand for what the government does.
Don't make such ignorant statements.

 

[Ghan_04]

> I don't hate the American people, But I dislike the American government a lot.
If the US just minded its own bussiness and stopped trying to get influence all over the world I'd no longer dislike the American Government.

This.
I live in America.
See signature.

That is all.

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

Not all Americans are like that.

and has the latest technology

I feel that Israel has the latest technology, and has been the birthplace of many modern day inventions. MRI, anyone?

they don't have to act like that.

Some (most? Depends on your opinion) Americans are egotistical, but then again, egotism is a problem that exists everywhere.

Sounds like some kid to me, and if that's the case (which it probably is), then it doesn't matter- he's a kid, a stupid kid, but a kid all the same.

 

[Ziggen]

I don't. I just don't like those Americans who are thinks everybody else are.
I don't have anything against America, but I've seen a lot of comments like that and it's always americans.

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

Yeah, but they're like 13 year old American kids who think that they're cool for leetspeaking and what-not.

no, not everyone is a pompous asshole, every country has them really... but i lived 5 years in america, and more than few people (read, children) of ages 9 - 18 make the worst decisions it's pathetic, and are plain idiots whose only objective is to socialize, sorry if i hurt anyone but it's true... but you also have very intelligent, mice and wise people, and that's the people i'm putting my money on, not the other easily corrupted idiots that destroy a beutiful country.

I get what you mean. The whole "gangster" trashy image, which is especially popular around New York City. It's quite pathetic that instead of wanting to be civilized, teenagers want to wear pants below their waists, talk as if they never went to school (which involves swearing every other sentence), etc. I think those people are the ones who bring down the citizens of America.

yes, but those aren't the only kind, those people are scum and idiots in my eyes and it even angers me that their poor, pathetic choices hurt others, what stuns me though is how many people go by this rule, they need to grow up...

I believe you are reinforcing the stereotype about Americans.

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

I believe you are reinforcing the stereotype about Americans.

HAHAHAHA! That's great, except I don't think L2love is American.

 

[L2love]

lol i am y wouldnt you think im born in oregon.

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

Because of the way you spell. You spell as if you were a foreigner and English was your second or third language.

 

[L2love]

'lol this comp doesn't have auto spell so its y my spelling is suxing more than normal.

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

'lol this comp doesn't have auto spell so its y my spelling is suxing more than normal.

You need a computer to tell you how to spell "suck" and "why"? Or, for that matter, put an apostrophe between the "it" and the "s"? I don't even think "it" is the appropriate pronoun.

 

[Nbah]

I don't even have auto spell and turn it off whenever I can, it's as pathetic as you can get.

 

[L2love]

lol i am dat pathetic thought i could be better if i tried but i wouldn't try it sadly.

 

[DocDude]

Ill be honest, becouse that's what i do.

I'm from israel.

first thing america is the most powerful nation in the world. it controls almost everything, but most importently it controls Culture.
hollywood is making its mark on everyone with a TV or a movie teather around his house. and people just obsorp the american culture: pop music, movies, tv shows, video games and every fucking thing. and i must say that the american culture is very far from perfect.

also, for me, there is a really heavy feeling of american people having a higher value of morality then its healthy for people to have. with all of the confilcts and things in the world it seems like your heart is leading your desicions, not your mind (in a bad way), and you do it in such rightous way, thinking you know best and that every thing is as simple as good vs evil. it's all over your movies, books and TV shows, and most sickngly its in your political desicions.
I hate american movies becouse its just like what i described. they are goodie-goodie, repetitve and i can predict the story development from a mile, and everyone in the world are becoming more and more like you.

but dont get me wrong, i dont hate the US, just abit angry at it XD
(and when people generalize they talk about the mjorety and know that not everyone are like this)

agreed, everyone around the world tends to pick up on their bad habits. again, this doesn't go to those who are above the idiots in your country.

 

[Teh_Ephy]

Americans are pompous? The few South Americans, specifically Brazilians, I've met or seen are mostly fucking assholes. "Oh, I'm American" "I'm American too, I'm Brazilian/Argentinian/whatever". You know what I'm talking about, dumbass. Don't waste my time with your useless and unentertaining semantics. I was born in Canada, and I'll admit that I pulled the same shit... in the second grade. Grow up.

I would have to agree that the simplification of many issues to "LOL THIS IS RIGHT" or "LOL THIS IS WRONG" is disgusting, and demeaning to human intelligence. Very little is without detail and nuance, Hitler was a great political leader as well as a murderer. Taxes are irritating, but the government's budget needs to come from somewhere. The death penalty is "bad", but convicts are ridiculously expensive for the taxpayer to maintain, and some people just do not deserve that second chance.

I agree to this too... every country in the world has their goods and bads, and different kind of good and bad people, south americans more specifically, for whatever reason, are rats and scum, but most of them, i was born in south america, god, god everyone hated each other and envied you if you had something that they did'nt have and tried to kill you for it... it's lucky that South America doesn't influence the whole world, i just think that more than few americans i've known, are "fucking assholes" with an attitude, ignorant idiots. If anyone is above what those bastards influence into you (peer pressure), then i respect you greatly, because the country is full of it.

 

[The Reborn Devil]

Hmmm.. Seems like there's many who don't like America. I think the reasons for why many hate America is because:
1. Bush, 'nuff said.
2. America is a powerful nation.
3. Death penalty.
4. It's easy to get yourself a weapon.
5. Lot's of wars.
6. A lot of conspiracy theories about Twin Towers.
7. Osama Bin Laden (Arabic: أسامة بن محمد بن عوض بن لادن‎) being trained up by CIA.
8. I can't think of more at the moment, but I believe there are more.

America isn't much worse than other nations. And there's a lot of nice things about America too.
Like:
1. Hollywood.
2. Mythbusters (I like these guys.)
3. They helped in World War 2 (I'm not good in history, so there's probably some other wars and stuff that they helped in too).
4. Electricity (Benjamin Franklin and others). This one is my favourite.
5. And a lot of other stuff. (I'm a little sleepy right now. Can't think of more neat stuff at the moment.)

 

[L2love]

lol yes Mythbusters is awesome because this is fact there are other things also and PS without America i don't think a lot of things would be here thought i cant state any at this time for being lazy but we have some things.

 

[Dionesiist]

Potatoes?

 

[Teh_Ephy]

What's wrong with the death penalty? And would you rather have handfuls of small wars, or the possibility of a nation or group starting large regional wars? And people that push conspiracies about the Twin Towers are all uneducated idiots.

Mulgrim: Yeah, the States are unfortunately filled with a large number of vocal idiots.

 

[The Reborn Devil]

There are tons of people who hate the death penalty and says that everyone deserves a second chance etc.
I don't hate it, but I do not support it either. The problem with it is that there's almost always a chance that you execute an innocent.

 

[DocDude]

i have nothing agienst the death penalty (in israel there is no such a thing).

but i think you hit just the spot: the US has TONS of vocal idiots that just shit their stupid thoughts everywhere. there are more stupid americans then smart ones, or mayve just the stupid ones scream what they think out loud XD

in many american movies there is a russion character that says "Stupid americans" and its so true it makes me laugh xD

 

[Teh_Ephy]

The smart Americans know to keep their mouths shut, or people will confuse them for the stupid ones... America is somewhat a land of extremes. The nice people are extremely nice, the mean people are extremely mean, the smart people are extremely smart, the stupid people are... Godawful stupid. On the news, I heard a 911 (emergency, for anybody outside the US that doesn't know) call that some woman made because the McDonald's she was at was out of fries.

 

[DocDude]

i can't imagne anyone but an american woman doing that

 

[Dreadnought[dA]]

America is called the land of plenty. It isn't called, the land of plenty intelligence, or the land of plenty sense.

And like somebody mentioned earlier, America is a country. PERIOD
Just guess who gets the most attention from the media?

If it happens in ____ (Insert country other than America), it's because some idiot was being retarded. If it happens in America, it's because Americans are idiots. Nice logic!

 

[Denu]

It is a nice enough place to live. Just ignore the media and avoid conversations of politics.

As a country... you can say alot of things about it: good, bad, and well mostly bad it seems. It is a country that has quite a few flaws, but you can say that about almost any country. The difference is that America used to be a super power and is still a highly influential country.

And people are just stupid. No need to debate that.

 

[TriggerHappy]

I wouldn't live anywhere else than america either but... our government/news are a bunch of biased douchebags. They lie to us too much and try to tell us what is socially correct.

It's just annoying -_-

[Deathcom3s]

Does anyone else see the irony in what i just posted?

 

[Velmarshal]

ill support my country when marijuana is legal again,

Again?

 

[BlackHobo]

Again?

well ya, it wasnt always illegal...
they made it illegal in the 1920's....

 

[Silverfish423]

Yes, Marijuana was legal until the American government couldnt control it, so they eventually made it illegal. Marijuana is actually a great plant, it is great for making clothing (takes up less water and space than cotton). Yes, people use it to get high but people drink a poison called alcohol to get drunk....

On-topic: I think that America is a country that is controlled by the government and not the people. We vote for representatives who, honestly, the majority of us know nothing about. We do not know what their true intentions are, and once they are in the seat of power, good luck getting them out. However, good things have been done in America. However, I see more good being done with the people than the actual government. If anything, a country will start out good, but will eventually go down hill. Every nation has their start, their golden age, and their fall.

Do not think too much about America. Thinking about it without doing something is quite useless. If you want a change, get on it. Try to get people who are like-minded to support you. If you start acting on it, our country may become a better country.

 

[Teh_Ephy]

BlackHobo: obvious troll is obvious.
Joss: You'd better be trolling.

 

[Wraithling]

1. I'm Asian.
2. I dislike to talking about Politics & Economy

Well I think America is just.. fine. As long as hollywood churns out a few blockbuster movies each year I'm continue to rate America as 'fine'. Anyway I enjoyed the film 'Up' so I'm viewing America in a positive light this week :/

 

[Dreadnought[dA]]

Does anyone else see the irony in what i just posted?

The government makes his life convenient, and yet he thinks it fails at everything?

He got one thing right though. The FDA does fail, partially because they have so much crap to do. Honestly, it should be required that the companies wanting to sell their product run documented tests on it. Instead though, the FDA has to do everything which costs lots of money, can take several years, and is sometimes impossible.

 

[Joss]

No, Dread, you missed the point. The government keeps him safe and does all of these wonderful things for him, and yet he rants on about how they cant do anything right, and that socialism in medicine is bad because of this. He is speaking of himself as if it were someone else, to get across a point, one you obviously missed. Plus, think about it this way; the FDA is there partially because the companies many times cannot afford the testing (especially at these times), or, the companies cannot be trusted.

@Teh_Ephy,

Why must I better be trolling (terrible English, I know XD)?

 

[Zhall]

Being an american myself, I could tell you all to go to hell, but, instead i will mostly agree with you.

It is going to hell in a hand basket.

It was founded by people who wanted to evade control and a country that forced its religion upon them (Britian) but through the generations those people have died and the next generation doesnt value the freedom it has, so it has to make special rules for itself, Such as america gets nukes and the rest of the world cant even start nuclear programs, to impose its beleifs upon others much like the kind of control that they originally ran from.

Ugh fine, Still the best country in the world... in some ways... not really..

 

[DocDude]

New zealend is the best country in the world. i dont know shit about it but i bet there is no poletics there, the sweres smells like roses and the country sends you money to your mail everyday

well americans invented spiderman and said "with great power comes great responsebility". im just not sure USA is good eanough for the power it has XD
