USA? Love or Hate us.

Hate 'em. Bunch of ignorant fat walking scum, if ya' ask me.

Goes back to tea and crumpets.

As a sweeping rule, Americans lack intelligence, class, history, culture and style. They're also fat and particularly stupid, lack any concept of environmental concern, international diplomacy or have any skill when it comes to warfare. Their sports are stupid, boring and overly slow.

Apart from that, I would probably reckon a couple of Yanks are alright but probably only the ones who were born overseas and have never been infected with their over-patriotic drivel flag loving, war making rubbish ...

oooh dare say you'll get a few bites on the line with that effort Jambles, you naughty scamp ;)

I'd hate to disappoint, I assume it was the sort of answer the original troll wanted to hear :D

If you watch any American television, then that statement is totally true. Except for the skill in warfare remark. Come on, at least we win the 'wars' even though there's usually no reason for it.

And going back to American media, I can't count the number of times I've seen the "America is getting fat" story advertised, then there's reality shows that make us all appear like horny idiots. And a few months ago, you would have thought that all the guys wanted to act like the homosexual stereotypes (read, metrosexual). I rarely see this types of things in my actual, American life, so I hope that no one is basing their opinions on the media as they have it all backwards.

I would consider us jerks, though.

Desperate remark, I'd say.

:D

America won only 5 out of 16 skirmishes it provoked. Grenada, 'nam, filippines...the list goes on man.

so?

Unfortunately, the US is like the world's biggest celebrity. Everyone knows everything they do, and when they screw up, you'll be damn sure to hear about it.

I do diagree with many US government decisions/actions, but at the same time I also disagree with many of my country's (Canada) actions as well. But since Canada is not a big celebrity (were the equivalent of the actors found on the surreal life) no one in the worlds stage really hears too much about our screw ups.

it's ridiculous to generalise about any country in any way like this, as people are pointing out with sarcasm. There are fat annoying obnoxious people in america, but there are fat annoying obnoxious people in azerbijian too.

I lived in the states for four years, it's an interesting country, never dull, I've been to places I liked more, I've certainly been to places I've liked less. The best thing about america for me, in general, was the people and the attitudes, yah, sometimes it became annoying but I'd always take enthusiasm over the depressing, grey, melancholia that seems to be the general english malaise. If I wanted to get something done I'd have a better chance of getting it done in america. If I wanted to bring up kids, I'd do it in england.


and someone said it's the freest country... just because it's called the land of the free doesn't make it so, there are countries where the individual is much freer both in terms of the way they want to live their lives and the amount the government intrudes into those lives.

definitely, especially for people who have never been there, no other country has the kind of cultural/government penetration into other countries as america does. It is the international celebrity, and it gets 90% of the attention whether it wants it or not.

Im going to have to agree with av. :eek:
[edited my redundant statement]

bah. Americans suck. that's right, I said it.

I've defended them in the past, but no more. After about 2 years straight of dealing with the most foul-toothed and McDonald's bag tossing-out-the-window SUV driving southern redneck with chewing tobacco stains on the upper part of their belly, and those are the kids(!)... I've lost faith and basically have to agree with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

"American youth needs to eat less french fries, and live life super-sized..."

or something. ;)

>>>no american i ever heard just simply up and insulted estonians.


belive me, they insult us MUCH. I know USA mainly from TV and that's why i'm making the statements i make. i've seen many american TV shows where they simply just dig up a small country (**cough**estonia**cough**) and give foolish, arrogant and false facts about us, maybe hysterical for you, but all these little pieces make a whole... so americans have mainly given me a VERY lousy picture of themselves... and i said 90% :P it's not like i hate all of them.

This, unless

was a joke, I cant see how you cant sterotype Americans as a homogenous people. Which is why I like Americans - they are so different - so unique - the melting pot indeed.


And about that Arnie quote:
Gerbick, American culture revolvs around french fries and cholesterol filled fast food. You can't just say 'eat different'. That's like telling the chinese to stop eating rice, and switch to another diet.



@Batukhan: I am sure there have been many jokes about americans being fat, overweight, starbucks addicted slobs in your country. Everyone takes a hit, but it's how you respond to it that counts.

'twas a joke.

Americans dont suck then?...

Pretty weird that you'd back up your reasoning with...

Whatever.

exactly.

whatever.

Wow.


I think some of these people watch too many reality shows

Lol its been fun reading these posts. Don't stop now.

you do know that this has all be done to almost sheer annoyance in the past, right?

the whole US/UK/Europe/Arab Nation/Eskimo thing about "what you think?" or "who's better at cooking up blubber?" been done, ad nauseum, boring like crazy.

how about who does better kung-fu? Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, Jet Li, Steven Seagal, or Dolemite?
