"Wow" America!

[VmprHntrD]

I know damn well I was adding fuel to the fire, it was intended. People like that who spout off bs like that without thinking for themselves can not be rationally argued with.

 

[Hitto]

I might have sounded too harsh and when I said "you" it might appear as if i'm blaming all american citizens. Sorry, my fault, of course i mean more like "a frightening" number of people, sometimes the majority or >30%

Sweet irony. Coming from Germany.

That happened a half century ago, the world has moved on since then. Why haven't you?

Americans sixty years ago : WE HAVE BIG BALLS, TAKE THAT, NAZISM! *PUNCH* NOW WE'LL LEAD THE REST OF THE WORLD INTO A GOLDEN AGE OF PROSPERITY THANKS TO THE MARSHALL PLAN! , rest of the world sixty years ago : yayyyyy we are thankful, you truly are the best country in the world!
Americans today : YOU FRENCH FAGGOTS OWE US BECAUSE MY GRANDPA FOUGHT YOU OR SOMETHING... rest of the world today : intelligent design? subprimes? hacked voting machines? Chimpy? CHIMPY AGAIN?

Hell, look at yourself, America. Only in this country can an old, millionaire, white guy who can't remember how many houses he owns be seen as "closer to the blue-collar population" or "not as snobbish" as a BLACK MAN.

Now, I love the US; I eat macdonald's every day. But on the intarbutts, it's so much easier to HATEHATEHATE little american shits who can't spell. I hate THOSE, (and furries) not the average joe.

To the marshall plan or 'Why did US-America help develop West Germany (+ West Berlin)': West Germany should behave as a barrier to the Soviet influence from the east. Therefore an economically strong and an us-friendly behaviour of West Germany was definitely needed to not fall down to soviet "communism" / totalitarianism. The hearts of the population could be won with economic aids. But this was not out of altruism for the people of Germany, but for the pure defence of the capitalist ideals / american influence in the world. If it would have been, there would have been a marshall plan for left-leaning states or even soviet states who were poor or who suffered from World War II. In examples such as Chile we see that left-leaning states were not wanted in the American way of thinking. In some way it's ironic that the country that started WWII received the most aid from the USA. Didn't that make you think? The US basically just cared about themselves and they still do.

I lived all over america and to generalize the population in whole is stupid. I mean, most of the flames toward americans shouted here only applies to the bible belt and even then only a small portion.

 

[Prophet]

Yes, yes. America is bad and the rest of the world is impotent. Who wants to get up tomorrow and try to change the world? Show of hands? We'll ethier make a difference or die trying, who's with me? No one? What's that? You'd rather just bitch about it on the Internet from the comfort and security of your home? Oh I see, maybe next time? Maybe? Hello??

Wow another whiny citizen of america jr throwing out a crap load of half truths and falsehoods. Congrats you're making it a flamewar in here.

And you sir are adding fuel to the flame. Canada is in NO way America Jr. Grow up.

This thread needs to be deleted immediately. It is just a whole lot of ignorant bashing by people who don't know shit about the majority of Americans and can't escape their close-minded stereotypes. It's either that or the ignorant Americans who think their country can do no wrong and is the best there has ever been.

I'm an American and I'm damn proud of it, but it's no secret that this country is in desperate need of reform. It has its issues, but so does Canada, and so does the UK, so does Kreplakistan, etc. And all you people who think these issues don't exist where you live, look again. It's pure ignorance to believe all these issues are America exclusive. Also keep in mind that these stereotypes do not apply to the entire population of the USA. Is every Brit a rude, unintelligible neanderthal with huge, malformed teeth? Is every Canadian a frost-bitten hose head with nothing on their mind but beer, maple syrup and sodomy? No, they are not, and every intelligent, open-minded individual knows this. And then these people act all high and mighty when they can't even see the writing on the wall.

Couldn't have said it better myself. You are the one person I agree with on this thread and I second the notion for this entire thread to be deleted. It may get bad...

 

[Wolfsclaw]

Noone said that problems as they are being told here are USA-exclusive. Plus, this is not about the thinking of the majority or the minorities of the American people, but about the actions of the government. And the fact that the wealthiest country in the world should be able to behave in a more human way, generally speaking.
