Stupid americans...

[Pittsey]

Trying to save money is foolish now? Had anyone else typed what I wrote guaranteed you'd have given it the blind eye.

I don't hate you at all, I thought you were a pretty cool dude in fact you're the one who has been poking me with a stick for the last year or so. I don't recall ever replying to you or saying anything to you directly. I just ignore you until now because you discredited me for no real reason other than YOUR opinions which obviously don't mix well with MY opinions.

Also I'm sure my idea of money will not work. I'm having alot of trouble trying to burst out laughing what your perception of me is and how you think I handle my business & money.

As for a severe lack of education, well yeah I'm probably not as smart in an air conditioned office environment but I'll forever laugh at how you and others look down on builders. Because none of you have any idea how much money one person with decent skills can gross. But hey you're the smart one, you should be able to figure that out.

But hey I'm fine with what I do. I'm fine that I have goals set for my future and i'm fine that you don't except them. Just don't get it twisted just because i bothered replying to this that I care for what you think. Cause like I said I think you're a cool guy as for everything else though about you I could care less.


peac3.

My brother is a builder. But he lives in the real world and understands the amount of money it costs. He doesn't live in LALA land where you can save enough for retirement in 10 years as a builder.

I was in Portland for 4th July. My mother in law said to a few people "This is his first 4th July."

A few people said "what, you don't celebrate 4th july in the UK?"

That's how solid a grasp you guys have on your own history.

That's about as solid of a grasp you have on us guys.

Seriously, you talked to some people in Oregon and act like we are ALL like that, don't act like that's not what you say either when it's "YOU guys have on YOUR own history."

That right there is the shit that annoys me. A couple of people do not speak for US.

Do you want me to go parading around about how all of you have fucked up teeth, when it really isn't the truth, probably not. So why do the same.

It is true, though.lol

I resent that you throw me into the pool of "ignorant people". That shit is just unfounded and completely unwarranted because what you said was horseshit. Atleast people in your country receive universal free healthcare, whereas atleast 50% of American's don't receive adequate health care purely for the unfortunate fact that they cannot afford it.

If you want to compare pictures and photos as the basis of your argument then fine. Ill just google an image of an American ghetto and we'll see how that sits with that photo of a British public housing estate. Whatever.

Our healthcare system isn't free. We still have to pay for perscriptions, which is £7 a pop. And yes, you do get free operations, if you don't mind waiting 3-4 years to get the operation. The NHS is one of the many systems that do not work. And I lived around ghettos man, I lived in a hoodhouse when I lived in Hinesville, GA. I know what ghetto homes look like, and its much nicer than a 15 floor 1 bedroom bedsit.

One example. Just one. I could list more, and more, and more. I'm not trying to suggest that everyone is like that, but my generalization is justified if you want to base it on percentages and ratio's.

A professional immigration lawyer himself over there in San Francisco told me, that if US citizens who were born there had to take the same tests in US history that people applying for citizenship have to take - most would fail.

I'm not criticizing your country, I love it and will be moving there myself. But you simply can't argue that intelligent people are in the minority, just like anywhere else. For every smart progressive person, there's 10 or 12 redneck hicks.

 

[Bobby Sands]

That is true.

Yea, it is. Nearly everyone has to wear braces at some point here.

A citizenship test requires a well filled-out application, a 70% passing grade, and the ability to write a sentence. The 70% passing grade means 7 out of 10 questions that you answer have to be right. The 10 questions are from a list of 100 questions, where 10 of those are guaranteed to be on the test. The test can ask what the 11th president of the US was or who the current President is. The test is flawed and shows how little Americans think of us foreigners. So, that immigration lawyer may have thought he was smart when he said that, but the test is flawed. I mean, the questions they ask are some pointless ones about the US history. It's more of a way to ass-kiss the good old white people in the gov't if the good old Jose from Mexico can name a white dead guy. Jose, "did you say James Polk was 11th president?" Oh, we're so proud of you, go get yourself that farming ranch in Yakima that you always wanted."


However, 1-12k system is very mediocre in the US, but saying intelligent people are a minority is foolish. Look up the city that you visited a couple months ago. 47% of Seattle's adult population hold Bachelor's degrees.

You Europeans judge Americans based on

1. knowledge of history
3. knowledge of geograghy

a little too much. Not knowing where Berlin is does not equal lack of intelligence. It requires lack of knowledge about a minuscule part of it.

What kind of schooling do you think Bush has? I mean he has been a politician for so long, and he's the fucking president.

But what do we know about Bush?

Even if I'm wrong about him and he didn't even go to college, i'm sure you get the point. Intelligence isn't measured by schooling either. I know this girl who is studying medicine. When I tell her a sarcastic joke, she don't get it. I'll have to always explain it to her. I remember when we went to school together, she would ask the most stupid questions. She had a brain for maths, but she could NEVER grasp a concept visually. In the mind's eye. She had an A- in advanced maths when shit finished high school. However, I can't have a discussion with this person. She is so fucking guillable, naive, and stupid. Her brain is a stuffed can of misconceptions. Yet she is studying medicine. Beyond all of this she's a very nice gal. But I think she is a perfect example that being stupid doesn't have anything to do with schooling anyway.

i judge americans the way i judge 50 cent. yeah you're a country like everyone else and blah blah blah but stop hiding behind that mask. you're the world celebrity and a lot of people look to you as they do the uk, china, russia, iran, etc wherever you're from. we hate on you because - your place in the world taken into account - you really need to think before you blabber your fucking mouth. you expect everyone to think of you as just another country but you're fucking not, so learn to deal with it. if you don't want hate, get a president that doesn't send your people all around the world to fight wars. stop trying to control the world. it's obvious that while the average american citizen isn't guilty of any of these things and your president is, you were the ones who chose your president in the first place. if my dad sells our house i have to live on the street too. unfair as it is, that's the way the cookie crumbles.

 

[Jokerman]

Militant probably meant "knowledgeable," not "intelligent." And it's true. Americans don't know a thing and they don't want to know. Because then they might have to be responsible for it and do something. This is true about most people, but we Americans take the cake.

 

[Preach]

and before anyone makes the point that there's probably a lot of other countries in the world that do stupid shit as well, let me say this: you americans are the ones that stick out the most because western culture is primarily based on/emulating the american society (for reasons obscure to me lol). once you are gone and dealt with i'm sure we'll start complaining about some other country. hey, it's not like i support china either, but there are no chinese here for me to talk shit to so.

Listen, you don't need to justify yourself. You dropped out of high school and I still think you're intelligent. Schooling is one of the better measures of intelligence because IQ tests are not exactly common and not good either. So, let's stick with the real world.

lmao i really wasn't trying to

but yeah i guess you're right in a sense. i was just trying to point out that your bachelor statistics don't really say anything at all, but you're right, a schooled person is gonna be smarter than an unschooled person on an average scale.

I'm aware.

reading what i said it sounded overly harsh. it really wasn't directed at you, i just hate americans who hate people who hate americans instead of just nodding along with what they mostly agree with anyway. i love you sofi

 

[Sebastian]

You and your faggish: "it wasnt directed at you", "sorry, it sounded overly harsh", "i didnt want to offend anyone, i just wanted to point out", etc....its gay.

 

[the_real_db]

Time for uncle Seb to step in and voice his opinion:



It doesnt even matter if there is propaganda or not. The way you replied sucks because you say something like it is a fact, without actually supporting your argument. Everyone can pull something like this out of his ass and say "blah, all propaganda".



First of all: Nice to see a new member coming into the forum and taking part in a discussion.

But, attention on your reply: You say "we" like youve been a part in the war, like you were a soldier fighting for your country. Actually, you were not. You were not even born back then.

Plus, no one knows how it would look like today if the us had not been involved in the war. However, it was good the us did get involved in the end.

Sorry that i used the term "WE" i just feel really angry and disappointed in this forum about WWII. I know that i had nothing to do with the war. It just kills me to know that thoasands of US soliders died for a cause that people dont even appreciate. I dont care if the UK didnt need the United States help but even with that said my Great Grand parents fought and died for something that they thought was right, im just very disappointed that the best thing someone can say to the remberence of them is that its bullshit propaganda.

 

[Prize Gotti]

^^ Your grandparents faught for the US, not Europe, they died because US politicians wanted to suck french penis. They didn't choose to go fight in WWII, they were drafted for your countries political gain. Basically, 400000 US troops died to pay for this;

 

[the_real_db]

Thats Fine

Listen Sebastian, you spend so much time in the Do For Love forum that you don't retain the right to call me gay for making sure people don't misunderstand me.

I don't get why people have a problem with it. What about it is it that makes it gay, that bothers you? That I am making sure I don't offend overly sensitive people? That I myself am sensitive mayhaps?

I also just noticed that your gamerscore for XBOX live is surprisingly low. I would be very disappointed with that score, but hey what do us americans know its probably just Mircosoft propaganda to have a high gamerscore right.

a) I only play on Xbox Live, and I have to renew my subscription.
b) I spend most my gaming time on the PC.
