Americans are a big bunch of overweight (the fattest nation in the world), racist (I only saw black people after Katrina or whatever that bitch was called), war maniacs (the only " civilized" western country that still fights wars) who don' t know shit about the rest of the world.
They have no grand history, no uniqe culture and no ancient technology to be proud of. All they have is a big mix of everything which they borrowed from the rest of the world. And still they look down on other nations.
Most of the bad, stupid and unrefined products comes from the U.S.
Stupid TV-shows, unhealthy fast food, nuclear weapons, bad behaviour and language (a president that shows " fuck you" at the camera before broadcast and speaks like a hillbilly).
It' s a nation where people worship Paris Hilton. A nation where the vast majority of the population is extremely religious to the point of fanatism. A nation where most people believe in the Bible' s version of how the world was made and that Darwins evolution theory is a lie. A nation that still don' t use the metric system (there' s only three countries in the world who doesn' t use it). A nation where people are allowed to, and actually get, guns to defend them at their homes. A nation so scared by terrorism that they give up all their freedom to the government just to feel safe. A nation where schools have security guards.
HOW FUCKING CIVILISED IS THAT?!?! FUCKING CAVE MEN!!!!!!
What you do is disagree but you don' t come back with attacks about other countries. I didn' t want to have to rewrite those two pages but now you' ve made me.
1- Overweight... sure a lot of people here are overweight but that' s personal choice. I' m personally in great shape and plan on running a marathon within the next couple of years. We may be the fattest country but your statement was overly generalized. We also produce some of the best athletes in the world as well.
2- The racist card is heavily over played. I' m sick of hearing about how racist we are. I don' t know what the hell you are talking about with the whole Katrina thing either. That made no sense.
3- War Machine? Dude, Europe was right there with us in war within the past 100 years several times. It' s too soon after WWII to say you guys are all done with war. With all the stuff going on in the Middle East (namely with Israel and stuff now) WWIII isn' t that far off and you' ll probably be right back into the fray.
4- Don' t know shit about the rest of the world? Tell that to all my endless classes of world history, geography, and other world studies classes I went through.
5- " Grand History" is a fucking joke. Just because we are a young nation and lack a huge background doesn' t make us any less of a country. The US' s history is tame compared to European history which is all blood and war. European history is fucked up but I' m not even going to get into that.
6- I don' t give a fuck that I don' t have a unique culture. I' m proud that the US is built of so many different backgrounds. I embrace being able to interact with so many different types of people. I' m also very happy with having so many cultures in my family line. You put down American culture but American culture is just a reflection of the rest of the world since we have all the cultures here.
7- Ancient technology... wtf do I care about that. Right now I' m more concerned about new technology that will further us as human beings. The US is on the forefront of scientific research. That' s what matters.
8- What' s wrong with mixing cultures? Isn' t that what everyone wants? Everyone uniting no matter what their background is? Seems fine to me. Again... we are a very new country in comparison to Europe. You' re not even giving us a chance to grow. It' s not like your ancestor' s are native to Europe.
9- The only time I look down on other countries is when people like you poorly represent them.
10- Every country produces unrefined products. Hell the vast majority of stuff we own here in the US is made in other countries and they fall apart left and right. Other than cars I prefer my stuff American made. If our products are so unrefined why do other countries keep buying them?
11- Sure our TV sucks here. Imo, all TV sucks. I' ve seen what people watch in other countries and it' s just as crappy as what we have here. This is such a pointless argument when you started off talking about how televisions don' t measure a civilization.
12- Unhealthy fast food is everywhere here but that' s the trade off for convenience. Other countries have taken to it as much as we have. I personally don' t eat fast food. I' m an athlete. I watch what I eat.
13- Nuclear weapons ended WWII. They also brought about new forms of power that people all around the world benefit from. We weren' t the only ones working on the nuke; we were just smart enough to get it done first. Germany was far more advanced with it before Hitler halted the project.
14- Bad language wasn' t invented here. We aren' t the ones that came up with all the common four letter curse words so I don' t know what you are talking about. Bad behavior is in the eyes of the beholder. Every country has trouble makers.
15- Paris Hilton is a fucked up ugly bitch ass whore (pardon my language). The only reason she is always shown on TV and crap is because she wants to be. She is worth billions and she gets what she wants. Most people can' t stand her.
16- Our country isn' t full of religious fanatics. We do have fanatics but that' s an extremely small percentage of our population. Right now religion is being driven out of our country which is a shame, imo. I' m very religious but I will never force my beliefs of God on another person. That was a very ignorant statement.
17- I do believe the Bible explains the creation of the world. I don' t believe the world was created in 7 days. You aren' t supposed to read it like that. It' s supposed to give you an understanding of God' s power. Many countries other than the US believe the same thing. Darwin' s evolutionary theory is just that, a theory. It' s can' t be proven and therefore has no more substance than any old bible passage. I believe in both the Bible and evolution. It' s not hard to accept both.
18- We use the metric system in all of our sciences. Just because we don' t use it for construction, sports, and driving doesn' t make us dumb. We are perfectly fine with out system. If it' s not broken don' t fix it. That' s such a stupid argument.
19- I' m proud to be the owner of a fairly large gun collection. I also like the ability to defend my family. I have 5 younger siblings and if someone were to break into my house and try to do anything to them I will defend them. The minutes it takes for a cop to get to my house could mean the difference between life and death for a child.
20- We aren' t terrified of terrorism. What 9/11 did was open our eyes. We realized we aren' t invincible and I' ll be the first to admit we were ignorant to ever think such a thing. We really haven' t given up our freedom. The only change in my life since 9/11 is that whenever I fly I have to stand in a long ass line to get my bags checked. I don' t mind though. I' m not anymore afraid of dying than I was before 9/11. All terrorism did was unite us more... until the media split us in two again.
21- So what if school' s have security guards? We have one guard per school. They are normally really nice and cool to talk to. All they ever do is have random drug searches. I personally like having a security guard at school. There’s nothing wrong with it.
22- Your last little out burst sums it all up. Calling us cavemen is crap. There was nothing civilized about your post other than blatant attacks. Notice how all I did was defend my country without attacking Europe. That’s all you had to do. Defend yourself. Don' t make ignorant generalizations about my country. I didn' t fit under the vast majority of stuff you said.
I' m not going to stand for my country being attacked. I won' t stand for anyone' s home country being attacked in these forums. It' s petty and childish. You had no right to go on a tangent like you did. Now reading that this was in response to Evil Man I can see why you were pissed but you should have been the bigger man. There is no reason to attack a whole country for some bullshit that dribbles out of Evil Man' s mouth. I don' t know why everyone hasn' t blocked that kid yet. I didn' t even know he made those attacks on Europe because I can' t see any of his posts.
I accept your apology for the post. Hopefully we can end it here. There are much bigger things to worry about than how a TV labels the status of a country.
