I don't think you can ever beat the hilarity of this post

As anti_american as crackbabies post was, there is an element of truth to how people sometimes feel.

If you go around wanting people to take notice of how much power you have all the time, then you have to accept the criticism that comes with it. Yes America is "successful" in many ways (as someone pointed out in an earlier thread) but at whose expense and don't people who are negatively affected by this "success" have the right to express their opinions on the whole matter or is that only for the priviledged people who live within or by the rules of the US.

Just thought I'd add Australians love to cut down tall poppies, it's like our national right (being of convict heritage an all). We believe the tall ones hog all the food, water and sunshine and make us look short. Once upon a time we use to go around slagging Poms now we have the Yanks.

Mwhahahaha

Mwhahahaha

Does that mean that you Aussies like us Poms now?


..Or, is that asking too much still..

lol

Geez, it has to be a sad state of affairs, when a nation (in this case the USA) is judged upon the actions of a few misdirected people in positions of power. It only demonstrates a lack of intelligence, when people 'tar all with the same brush'. And one gets the feeling that no amount of explaination will change that person's view of things.

I don't like what the US government are portraying Americans to be, but I don't dislike Americans all.
I don't like how certain factions are portraying their Islamic failth, but I'm not so dumb as to think that all Muslims are people who go around cutting peoples heads off.
Just as I don't think that all black people are 'gangsta rappers' who are only interested in drive-by-shootings'.
The sterotypical portrayal of people can be apllied to ALL walks of life.
I choose to 'see for myself', rather than pass judgement by consensus.

If people actually stopped, and thought about how THEY think about a particular subject matter, rather than rely on being 'told' what to think by the media and by other people's misguided opinions, then maybe we can get back to being the civilised race of beings that we so often claim to be.

Crackbaby...the SN says it all!

PS It's not easy to be rulers of the world, but us "trash" are doing a fine job! Hahahahaha!

Crackbaby...

Yeah, I was born in America, so I guess that makes me American

As much as I should have been offended by your post, I really wasn't, there was actually a lot of truth to it. I see the kind of things you mentioned and it pisses me off too: Overweight people EVERYWHERE, American "Culture" (or lack thereof), Ridiculous MASSIVE Gas Guzzling SUVs. Redneck Gun Wielding Idiots

I find myself finding things I hate about this place all the time. You really shouldn't assume we're all inbred idiots( although there are plenty of them)

The only reason I'm still here is because I'm just kinda stuck here. Once I finish college and start making films, I'm planning on moving to Denmark.

I always felt as if I was a European trapped in an American's body.

p.s. the included pic is one of the main reasons I have to get out of here!! hehe

SmokeyPotter, I find it even funnier that you can't wait to leave but you're sig is by one of the greatest Americans to ever live.

You wanna leave? Say hello to Mary's big black boot kicking you in the ass...hopefully it will be enough force to launch you over the Atlantic.

[SmokeyPotter]

I don't hate america. I just don't like what it's become since the days of Ben Franklin.

And chill out too... your Negative Vibes are not necessary. I thought this was a marijuana forum?

I knew someone would eventually respond with some kinda "If you don't it here, get the hell out!"

heh

[notanovice]

live by your sig schmokey
