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?

No, i dont listen. Because i wasnt serious about my reply.

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.

Yeah, that is what I meant.

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.

No, it's not foolish - it's the truth. I agree with you about Seattle - and that's why that is a place I knew I would like to go to. In every city there are of course going to be a hell of a lot more progressive people. Problem is - not everywhere is a city. There's a lot more small towns full of mostly stupid people, and those are the people that vote, and hence idiots like Bush end up in power.

You are a retard. I've played 2 games, 1 I played for a few hours online only, the other I played online most of the time (I probly spent about 30 minutes playing in story mode). You can only get a small handful of gamerpoints when playing online any way. The other games, I turned on and turned them off a few minutes later.

Jokerman owns this thread....


As for the teeth thing... Who has worse teeth... Someone whol lives in a part of the country that is 100's of miles from a city and a good dentist... Or someone in the UK who doesn't have enough room to fart without someone hearing it and has the choice of several dentists in their area?



Anyway... Start a new thread where all you retards can have a my country is better than yours discussion.

 

[S O F I]

No, it's not foolish - it's the truth.

You agreed with Jokerman, but reiterated your previous point. Contradiction. Knowledge or intelligence, can't be both.

There's a lot more small towns full of mostly stupid people, and those are the people that vote, and hence idiots like Bush end up in power.

Well, Presidents are not voted in by popular vote. It's a bit more complex than that mili.

Also, life in America doesn't revolve around foreign policy. People don't base their vote on whether a President will bomb some country or not.

 

[Prize Gotti]

^^ To be able to grasp knowledge you have to have some amount of intelligence.

Sir, I think he's just being an asshole because he feels disrespected

 

[ARon]

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.

We didn't choose shit, the supreme court did. Bush lost the popular vote. Everyone already knows that though.

 

[Preach]

Ya. I may have been a bit unclear. You were supposed to read the next sentence and put it in the same context. You were born in America. It has its pros and its cons, and one of those cons is the world is gonna hate a lot of you. A lot of them without knowing the full facts or without seeing the whole perspective. Either way, whether it's every American individual, your president, or an American bum off the street that is the real offender in all of this, the fact that you are part of the same country means you, unfortunately, are the target for hate as well.

It's the way it is. Even after America is long gone and some other country has become the new super power in a hundred years, if were that to happen, that new superpower would have the world's eyes fixed on it because it is central. And they will have goods and bads like America, and when there IS a bad, the rest of the world will make a huge deal out of it just like they do with America. It's natural. Nothing any of us say will change the fact that the majority of the world have hateful thoughts about some aspects of America, and neither will it change the fact that you don't like it. But you will have to deal with it, or else, you'll have to move to another country. lol. It's all unfair, but to use a better comparison than i used previously, if my dad goes out and bets our house on a poker game and loses, i am homeless. It's an analogy. Bush/the stereotypical, ignorant, patriotic american redneck/<insert stereotypical person non-americans normally hate> have done a lot of shit and it's not your fault, but you still have to feel it.

I saw 9/11. I know all the shady stuff behind Bush' presidency, I've read tons about it. I'm not a hater, I'm just pointing out some observations. I would love to live in Seattle

Yeah, it's a contradiction. I should have been more clear. I meant that I was reiterating my point but replacing where I said intelligent, with knowledgeable.

Gotti's right though. Being intelligent and being knowledgeable are not mutually exclusive.

As for the presidents, I can't say I know too much about how it works, but isn't votes what it boils down to?

 

[Preach]

I know even less, but here's what I think it could maybe be like..

Votes are counted for each state. Within every state, the presidential candidate with the most votes win that particular state. In the end, the candidate with the most states wins the whole thing.

But like I said, I REALLY don't know.

 

[PuffnScruff]

We didn't choose shit, the supreme court did. Bush lost the popular vote. Everyone already knows that though.

the popular vote doesn't matter. it's the electoral vote that decides who wins. the supreme court didn't elect bush. they just cleared up all the bullshit. 6 months after the elections 3 of the biggest liberal news medias including the nyt all concluded bush won. deal with it.

I saw 9/11. I know all the shady stuff behind Bush' presidency, I've read tons about it. I'm not a hater, I'm just pointing out some observations. I would love to live in Seattle

i really hope you are not one of those idiots that falls for those conpsiracy theories that big bad evil bush was behind 9/11

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.

But how the hell do you know how much I have saved, how much money I have in general and how much I earn all compared to yourself & your brother? lol. You must think I got

*less then $10, 000 saved -
*earn less then $50, 000 a year-
*earn less then roughly $1000 weekly...

well in my LALA land I am well above all 3. So fuck what you believe me to be cause you don't know shit about how I handle my business and even with 3 kids (how many I wanna have) I can comfortably retire in 15 years. So stop acting like a jealous idiot, trying to discredit and diss me and accept it for what it is.

peac3.

Votes, but not the kind you think. Worry not. I shall have AmerikazMost give you a lesson free of charge.

oh hell no. i think he was insecure and didn't know what to do with the problem, thus why he sat with a bunch of kids reading a book after receiving the message that the country is under attack. or maybe he was thinking about the children, and thought him staying there would somehow be better than just getting up and leave.

if there was ever a document sent to him about the 9/11 plans i'm sure human error is the reason why it never got through or why precautionary measures weren't taken.. unless they were and the movie lied.

what i basically meant was i know about the whole florida thing so i know not every american approves of bush' presidency.

 

[PuffnScruff]

i see, thank god the drugs havent gotten to you that bad
