I read and I read and I see one thing in common with people from other parts of the world. They dislike the U.S.
They call us fat
They call us lazy
They call us loud
all may be true, except me
I know our government sucks, but what can I do, besides vote and protest.
I didn't choose to be born here, for some reason it just happened.
So, all I gotta say is
One love brothers and sisters
smartest american i came across lmfao :p
team america.......fuck yeah!!!!!!

Peace
I believe that the problem stems from outward appearances.
People believe americans this americans that....well most of the 'hate' stems from the government in one way or another.
Americans as individuals are cool folk.
We are fighting this Iraq war and you hear about *everything*. We have lost ~3100 servicemembers since the war started along with about another 3k during 9/11.
Thats under 7500 killed. Does anyone realize that we have 300 million people here? With a foreign view, it looks like Americans are fighting for their survival. You have to realize that we are 'ruled' by a govt where they make the decisions. No american particularly likes politics or politicians....which is evident in our voting %. And truthfully, with the exception of the servicemembers, we don't realy feel the pinch of war.
Now if Al Qaeda was running through the streets of Dallas/LA/NY as well as small town America, you best watch your ass. If the USA falls, it will be because of a big ass nuke cause these keystone terrorists flying planes into buildings don't really make a shit in the big picture.
yes we are controled by the govt. Its sad to think about how many people the Forces have lost.. sons daughters mums dads.. yet who are they fighting for.. ther fighting for people that are controling the population with scare tactics with poverty with alsorts of really untrue and just crazy shit.. how do they get away with it.. well thers no one to tell them their wrong... i believe if God came down and said to bush or blair hey man wtf have you done to my world, thed be like were looking to expand our buisness. thats all.. changes subject

Nearly all of what the other countries see about us is what they see on their news stations. And let's face it. News never has good things on it. If they do, you look at the TV like they are fucking retarded.
All they see is LOUD, OBNOXIOUS, STUBORN, ASSHOLES.
Well honestly, most americans do fit to that steriotype.
America is a better country than most. But it isn't the best.
I have been trying to come of with something. I call it a reformed anarchy. But if anyone has the true name of this please tell me.
An anarchy, the only difference though, the lack of government and guidance only pertains to what you do to yourself, and your family. familiy matters are handled by the family. Family matters include EVERYTHING that one family member does to another.
But if you kill a person, then the town you live in becomes a giant jury against you and your punishment is figured out.
You can drink and drive and do all that stuff, but the punishment for taking a life while under the influence of anything(marijuana might be included or not) the punishment is Much MUch MUCh MUCH higher than if you just kill a person.
But you can put whatever the fuck you want in your body.
Now, no country in this day and age can live without a military. So I propose this. Another country does this, idthink it is sweden but I could be off.
Every male is required(and females can if they choose to) to go into a training program when they reach a certain age. After the training program they are presented with their gun, and amnuition. Every so often they have to go back and repeat the program. If the country becomes under attack, we would have a plan developed to gather all male troops that are willing(how many wouldn't be to protect freedoms like that?)to fight and go to war.
Just sounds like a better country than any I could think of.
I know that I am an arrogant jackass, but honestly, anyone who considers theirself better than another because of their country, and beyond that steriotyping all of us, is a bigger arrogant jackass than I can describe.
I have met many people in america that are incredibly nice, sweet people. Mostly girls, because most guys are jackasses in my oppinion.
Well </rant>
They (politicians) get away with it because of our quality of living. I drink beer, get fucked up, shoot my SKS, smoke some pot, drive thru the beer barn, hunt, go to college, chase women, go Anywhere and do Anything. The last thing on my mind is govt and the war.
Now, like I said if Al Qaeda was running around in the streets praising allah, my priorities would change and this 'war' would spill into Anywhere, USA. It would no longer be Al Qaeda vs US Govt, it would be Al Qaeda vs the American people.
Heres some bacon for thought:
If these radical muslims weren't so fuckin crazy blowin shit up, we COULD live in peace and our servicemembers wouldn't have to be in Iraq. I think it is ignorant to fully blame our government for this war. Personally I blame those goofy ass muslims before I blame Bush and Blair.
No govt? Are you smoking crack? If you want to live in a hippy's bliss, there are countries you can do that in.
But when a big black guy named Moziquah rams a bayonet through your body, I bet you will be ready to come back to America, where there is law and order and a system of doing things.
"if the country becomes under attack, we would have a plan developed to gather all male troops that are willing"
-this is called a militia. A single platoon of Marines could wipe the floor with Jim Bob and Joey from Philly. And the whole willing thing? What is with that? I bet you would dodge a draft.
They call us fat - I'm actually skinny
They call us lazy - Only some times lol
They call us loud - I usually don't say anything in real life unless it's worth saying (or unless I'm too high to realize I'm babbling about nothing).
I honestly don't think people from U.K. and stuff would dislike me. I just want to make friends all around the world and smoke a few blunts with everyone and enjoy life :).
well as you already no all them crazy people are walking about willy nilly. blowing shit up. killing people.their proply a few planning attacks in you home town, so what u on about. the govt forces their way in to find weapons or watever. all they "FOUND" lol was oil and alot of money..they are scum. i say let them fight for them selves.. we had too. everyone has to. the government is nout but a bunch of fucking rich bastards that do fuck all but keep the people down where they want them..with no ability to overthrow a govt. what can the people do. nothin but live and die.. while the rich get richer. now war is useless causes nothing but grief and not to mention pain. and yes what i see on news is alot different to whats really going on in the world..
you cool orange man. i wish i grew up in amerika. to me it doesnt matter where your from its all about what you know.
Peace

So you are saying that they might be planning a terrorist attack, but you don't see the point of war?
What would you do then, as a civilian? End the war and eventually get attacked on your own soil? In your own home?
Im american (obviously) and I quite like it here. Some hippies don't like George W (neither do I) and all of a sudden we're a horrible country. I could get all fired up and personal about how people feel about us, but what's the point. Live how you want, just treat everyone else as nice as possible and we should still get along.
A few Notes on americans: Most of us are proud of our country and ready to fight you over it. Not another one out there in the world like it. Most of us don't eat Mcdonalds every day (only teenagers or fatass adults). Most of us do have a car and drive it everyday (we're not gas hogs, we just have a lot of miles to cover in one day). A lot of us have guns, but we're not rednecks or gangstas. Most everyone here would give the shirt off of our backs to someone who needs it. We don't like George W either (he's out soon to be replaced with someone even worse I'm sure). Not all but all for now, I'm still trying to wakeup.
i was born in america
and i'm proud of that fact
i wish the rest of the world
would get off our back
but these slick politicians man
you've got to admit
seem as crazy as bedbugs and
they dont give one wit
about a family on the street with
their backs to the wall that
cant find a quarter for to
make a phone call
meanwhile back in washington
champagne will flow
tell that to a a homeless man
with no where to go:mad:

The thread says it all.
i really find myself living in such a dirty system full of corruption, lies, wrong information, interests.... globalization.. and thats not just americas fault. We are all in it. Look in what a looney world we are living. Not much have changed since the dark ages. I can see a whole bunch of tasteless crusades aiming towards pure interests but the only think they cause is enormous human casualties. Fuck that. What about poverty? What about AIDS? What about education? What about all those things that dont kill us but make us stronger? Its true "they" control us. But they need us. Without us they cant do shit. So why do what those fuckers what us to do? Its not america. Its not england. Its the whole fucking world.
me thinks you left out a detail or two about yourself, which is only my most humble of opinions.Quote:

Many many good decent people are Americans and we feel the same way you do.
The only difference is that many of us who could move away choose not to so we can change that which we find wrong. In the words of Martin Luther King.." an injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" unquote.
My belief is that when one encounters oppostion is that we dont run until we find a place that isnt such a challenge to our beliefs. My belief and the beliefs of many good Americans is that we change what we dont like by facing it down.
I wish you nothing but happiness, and i hope that you have found it in Costa Rica. I spent some time in San Jose C.R., and loved it.
Do they still use the peso?
adios and buenos dias,

Ten years form now we can take an objective look at things and how they turned out in the end. Who knows, 50 years from now W could be one of our greatest Presidents. It all depends on if he can fix things in Iraq and get back to fighitng the true enemy which is the ideaology of Wahabism and other militant Islamic groups like Hezbolah. FDR sent thousands of Jap's to "Internment Camps" and he is recognised as one of our greatest presidents ever. I personally don't like Bush I think it was a mistake to invade Iraq, but what do I know. For all I know they had weapons of mass destruction and were willing and able to sell them to militant islamic groups and they managed to get get them out of the country into Syria before the U.S. invaded. Time will tell.
People dislike America becuase we are brash, self-confident, take no bullshit, winners. People always love to hate who's on top. Jealous of America's wealth, power, and influence on the rest of the world. Many American's are lazy, fat, and stupid, but so are a lot of French people.
I myself would like to live in the south of Italy, Calabria, or somewhere in the Carribean(sp?) like Costa Rica(just kidding). I am a fisherman and I love warm weather and indigo blue water.
Well I was kinda forced to leave the US due to problems out of my hands...Costa Rica is great you should come down and visit us again...We use "colones"!! Have a good day mae!!Quote:

honestly the majority of people out there who hate us because they anvy our lifestyles and wish they had our money
obviously that doesnt apply to all europeans but many other countries
Some other countries have plenty more and better things to offer.
I won;t back that statement up with facts though. Instead Im going to sleep.
You should come try some of our sport fishing down here...Ill make a "Tico"(Costa Rican) out of ya...Quote:

We don't owe illegal aliens & those hostile to the US shit...fuck off, pay back all the money the US sent to help all those countries...look to yourselves...this country is SELF Sufficient and if everything stopped flowing into the US, we would still exist, rearrange our priorities and become stronger in the process.:mad:
I doubt the USA would survive without latinos!! USA is a country based upon foreigners!! There is no such thing as a real "american" those were all killed by the europeans who came to the continent!! The majority of american now are sons and daughters of imigrants from either Italy Mexico Cuba Irelans all of Europe...the list goes on....Lets not be racist now!!

People are assholes anywhere. There are assholes in the UK, the US, Australia, Sweden, Iceland, Russia, Kenya, and even Canada for fuck's sake.
When people make generalized assumptions about my country and my people based on our government's decisions, then that shows plain ignorance.
I love the USA, the people, the land, but I (as well as 70% of Americans) don't agree with what Bush is doing. This is his last chance to "fix" Iraq, and we all know he will fail. Hopefully in '08, there will be a better president. I think Barack Obama is looking good. Even if he is Democrat and conservative, he seems very level headed and steady handed.
My point is, all of you outside the US blasting us for what GWB has done, just remember- your country may be at risk for his mistakes, but the American people are dying for it in greater numbers than yours, due to elevated troop count, and higher risks for terrorist attacks on our country. Be thankful that you aren't spied on, have your mail randomly searched without a warrant, have your phone calls tapped, and prosecuted heavily for smoking a J.
Im from UK and i concider you a good friend. I concider alot of people on here good friends.Quote:
