Stop being small minded. You get 15 replies and you think you know what kind of people we are? I'm sure I've run across 15 rude europeans. Good thing I didn't conclude ALL europeans are assholes eh?




I'd like to see that too. What you need to understand about government (yours too) is that sometimes the government doesn't necessarilly do what best represents its people. Europe has had some pretty good examples of that itself - after all Blair agreed to work with Bush on invading Iraq. And then of course there's English imperialism, and need we mention Hitler?



What has the film industry to do with it? You're judging us on fiction now? Should I judge all Europeans based on what I see in Fawlty Towers? You're all a bunch of raving lunatics who can't even run your own lives, much less a hotel?

Well Seaver can be excused for not knowing how much YOU pay in taxes, since you haven't bothered to identify which country you are from. Plus, we can now use your logic to assume you are ignorant as well, since France taxes at around 60% and, just to clarify, France is part of Europe.

As for not having illiteracy, please do tell us what country you are from.

The truth is that there are ignorant idiots in all societies, and there are well informed geniuses too. You started this thread looking for the idiots and, having supposedly found 15 of them (which is less than 0.00000006% of the population of the country whos people you are so eager to attack) you've concluded that you're completely correct. That's not a very good run of logic.


Oh. OK. Then I guess Great Britain is also a stupid ignorant country because Tony Blair went along with Bush and, gee, he's a politician too. Just because our leader is an idiot does not mean the entire collective is full of idiots.




No. You need to read up on your international news. Something I'd have expected from such an englightened European as yourself!

Germany's justice minister supposedly compared Bush to Hitler. Minster Daeubler-Gmelin maintains the newspaper misquoted her. And even if she was quoted accurately, all she allegedly said was that Bush used Hussein to divert attention from domestic troubles, and that this is a common tactic, even Hitler used it.

That's not exactly calling him Hitler, now is it.






I'm not interested in convincing you that the USA is great. You're going to form your opinion the way you want it to be no matter what evidence you get to the contrary.

But here's why I think the USA is great. In another 3 years we can boot the idiot who's leading us and pick another one. During those three years we can call him an idiot without getting in trouble for it. And when he gets too far out of line we have built in checks to keep him from grabbing too much power. They failed in his first four years in some areas, but I think people are learning their lessons from that. You'll notice that Bush has had a much tougher time getting things done lately. And as long as we're comparing Bush to Hitler, I might add that we're starting to wise up after only 6 years. It took 12 years from the point Hitler was elected chancellor until he was finally toppled, largely by us, in 1945.


In 200 years we went from a ragtag bunch of colonies that BARELY defeated our mother countries, to an economic superpower that people from less fortunate countries are scrambling to get into. Do we have our faults? Sure, we have a lot of them, but so does your country. So does EVERY country. Nobody and no thing is perfect, and frankly taking the attitude that you do (We're perfect, you're all ignorant knuckledraggers) is borderline trolling.
