Stupid americans...

[linx]

But as an American citizen that firmly believes the opposite, don't you believe you should you should take a stand and change the worlds view of America? The British can accept that the country they live in is shite, and will quite happily agree with the rest of the world when some one slags us off, but if they believed it wasn't, they would do something to prove their countries worth.

First of all, it's nothing I want to fight over. So I hope Sebastian didn't think that. Regardless of what him or I say. I'm not taking a stand to change anything. America has its good and bad like any other places. I realize that, but unfortunately other people do not. It just gets annoying when people from other countrys constantly point a finger at america and say all kinds of stupid shit. That's all. If they did it about another country and I noticed it, i'd say the same thing. Even if I didn't live there. The shit's just repetitive. Why make a thread that's gonna basically say "americans are idiots" every other week? Just make one and make it sticky so people can say what they gotta say in it.

when I read the thread subject I thought it's going to be about how uneducated they are. From this point I'd agree. If you consider that 70% are uneducated as being plain stupid than I agree.. but again saying something about whole country doesn't have sense, because it offends people who differ.

Seb if you had a job I might actually care about what your saying.

You are the ONLY member of this board who speaks negatively of Britain. All Europeans (me included) are highly nationalistic and patriotic.

There's not a country in the world that has more citizens with negative views of the government and the society than the citizens of America.

Not true. I think i remember our friend Militant speaking pretty negatively about britain and that he wants to emigrate.

 

[S O F I]

Militant mentioned expensive housing as an issue and that London is an expensive city. So did Pittsey. It is because they are homeowners or in the process of being homeowners. I don't think a "[insert city name] is expensive" argument = criticism of the government."

Why don't you Euros try and get the constitution passed, please?

 

[Sebastian]

I ndont think thats all he mentioned but okay.

Constitution, pff, i dont really know why we, as europe, should have one single constitution. Fuck that.

When you live in Britain, then you will understand how shit it is. Im pretty sure the Brits would agree. It has nothing to do with being Patriotic, its about the way British citizens are ripped off, screwed by the system, and the lack of social compitance. The American government cares about America, this British government only cares about lining their own personal pockets (if you kept track of UK news you would have noticed that alot of politicians have been arrested for frued) and sucking International penis.

There's not a country in the world that has more citizens with negative views of the government and the society than the citizens of America.

How many 12-14 year olds do you know that have kids?
How many 14-16 year olds do you know that have been to prison?
How often do 13 year olds kids do you hear of going to prison for murder?

Im pretty sure its a lot less then a Brit does.

 

[S O F I]

I meant there are lots of people who criticize society and pop culture, etc. I'm not sure how those questions fit the scenario.

Can you be anymore stereotypical.

 

[Prize Gotti]

Can you be anymore stereotypical.

Im not. It is what as knowin the UK as Chav culture. If you are a teenager, you are either a Chav or an Emo/Goth/Whatever you like to call yourself. And most teenagers are Chavs. Its a culture that revolves are sex, drugs, violence & crime.

 

[Preach]

I made a thread about the movie KiDULTHOOD. I just watched it the other day. Funny that you should bring that up, that whole movie revolves around the Chav culture. Pretty awesome movie if you ask me.

I read what you originally said backwards.

To go on what you're saying though. It would be ok for me to come out and call anyone who lives in the UK, stupid ignorant teenagers who yadda yadda, it's the same thing that happens when one US citizen does something, it goes to the whole only in America type shit. It gets annoying seeing quote after quote of America this America that like it's all of us doin something. Foreigners must really hate us, we are the 50 cent of the world I guess, blind hate.

 

[Preach]

Foreigners must really hate us, we are the 50 cent of the world I guess, blind hate.

Anyone who isn't purely hating on 50 can agree that he is a superb businessman, a loyal friend and labelmate, a generous person, a devoted worker, and so forth.

At the flip of the same coin, we should all agree that 50 Cent is making pop music, and is disregarding a lot of the stuff that "true" hiphop if there's such a thing is all about. Since probably half of the western world's population are a part of the pop culture, if not more, he is presenting a limited version of hiphop to people who don't know any better, or don't think any further about music. People who really love hiphop as an artform and a genre feel that 50 Cent is leading hiphop a certain way, and one way or another, that is gonna have an impact on the genre as a whole. When a rapper suddenly "sells out and goes mainstream" they become laughable because it's obvious that their motives aren't as rightous as they once were. They are lesser versions of their former selves and can't ever expect the same respect they might have had. Imagine if 50 Cent made this "real hiphop". Selling out wouldn't even be a relevant expression. But he goes on to talk about guns, cars, candy shops and other stupid shit that no one even cares about. If anything, I'll give him credit as a musician. He can write catchy hooks even if the content sucks.

All in all, I choose to dislike 50 Cent because the melody in his music only makes up for the lack of content when I am in an oblivious mood, and it shouldn't be that hard to like music. There are a few songs I consider exceptions, and I say that only to furtherly prove I am not a hater.

I think it's fair of me to expect that you differentiate between the blind haters and the people who have reasons for hating on America. Much like you expect me to understand your displeasure with blind hate, I expect you to appreciate that if I ever decide to speak badly of America or Americans, it's the result of a thought process where I have taken several factors into play and then made up an opinion. I am not really a part of this discussion though, so just pretend it's Prize who responded

 

[ARon]

Lol. I wasn't trying to use him as an exact candidate, i like what you wrote but only the last paragraph really means anything to what I was saying at least.

And yeah I've been here long enough, it's not even neccessarily just here America gets hated on, to know who actually puts thought to what they put down, thankfully. But yeah I agree.

* Save your money, no matter where you live or what you do. Save your goddamn money, so you don't need to get so much money out of banks and pay them back even more.

* Europe as nice as it is, is goddamn backwards sometimes. Keyword: SOMETIMES. Too many people blame the USA for this and that. USA has been a powerhouse for what 100 years now? How long has Europe been a powerhouse for? Especially Germany, France, The UK etc. And they still can't get shit close to right?

* One constitution for Europe is a swell idea!.. why? So no country within it goes off the rails *again* and decides to cause another genocide for no reason.

* SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!. No point of working in where ever whatever if all your doing is paying bills constantly, paying back banks and blowing the rest on BS etc.. Save some money you'll get the rewards of it later on in life, suggesting that you live 'til then.

* Stop crying over grains of sand when you're at the beach, every country has it's ups and downs. Good and bad.

* I'm in Australia, i'm more concerned about the Japanese market then anything although it would be foolish not to have a look at how the US/Euro markets are doing seeing Australia has influences especially when money is involved from the rest of the world.

* Save YOUR money!

^^ That movie may be fiction in the fact that it is a movie, but its VERY true to life.

ARon, I never said I hated America, infact not too long ago, I made a thread saying a I love America, my only problem I have with Americans is how they can say how 'shit' and what not their country is. It is not shit, you all live lives only non Americans could dream about. I know this being particially American and have lived between America and the UK the whole of my life.

 

[Pittsey]

Without Getting into this shit... As threads like this do my head in....


Germany is strong globally, as is the UK.... American banks fucked up... And so did Japan....

We are all linked and if Germany did go go into recession, or the UK.... America would be effected too....

SO America isn't the big bad ass you all think it is...

1 of the most foolish posts I've ever seen... Ever....
A severe lack of education there... No wonder you are a builder....


And to be honest... I try and be nice to you, as it's obvious we hate each other.. I try not to argue.... But this is just so so dumb.... You have no concept of Europe, just like the Americans.... The UK is closer to Oz or US than to any European country in it's culture... and for very obvious reasons...

The UK and Germany are thriving and don't rely on America... And the Japanese are also the cause of the stockmarket crash, not just America and it's lame mortgages. But if you put your money in american businesses, or businesses with trade links to america.... America will effect your money.

And your ideas about money is "Cris Bridges"... It aint gonna work... Get back to me in 15 years and tell me how your retirement is going.
