The world thinks Americans are stupid
Trauma-san:
Here's a great one.
The World thinks Americans are all a bunch of overweight, fat hillbillies that sit around on their couches in the trailerparks of America, and do whatever the president tells them to.
The world also, generally has a view that the democrats among us are more intelligent, and conservatives are more archaic and not as enlightened.
I don't understand this mentality. How arrogant is it of someone from Canada, or France, or whatever, to act like we're all a bunch of dumbasses being led around on a string, when in reality; we've became the world's greatest superpower, while ALSO being one of the world's newest countries (230 years old). We lead the world in so many fields it isn't even funny, and have went from running around in loincloths hunting buffalo to owning the most powerful military, pioneering liberty, and basically running the world, in 230 years.
How can you be so arrogant, that you think we're all a bunch of fools? Open your eyes. We're obviously not that fucking stupid, we run shit. We didn't get PUT there, we PUT ourselves there.
I just find it interesting that everybody knocks us, but we're the best at practically EVERYTHING. How the fuck do you get off saying we're all stupid? LOL. The entire congress, house of reps, supreme court, and the presidency, as well as a majority of the governerships is ran by conservatives who the world thinks are antiquated and can't be in touch with reality, but IN reality, we've survived the largest terrorist attack on our soil, we've fought and won 2 wars decisively on what was deemed the harshest geography in the world, we've passed bills furthering health care benefits for every senior citizen in america (which no other president could get passed), we've lowered taxes, and we've spiked the economy to 20 year highs in some levels, such as manufacturing and home building.
All by a bunch of cavemen imbeciles the world sees as idiots.
Here's a hint: If you want to attack us, you might want to at least acknowledge that your average U.S. citizen is pretty intelligent. As are most people in most countries, I'm not bragging, I'm just saying; why the arrogance in saying that the U.S. is ran by idiots? LOL LOOK AT WHAT WE'VE DONE... IN 2 Years!
Smoke:
Not the whole world, homie.
Trauma-san:
I'm not saying anybody should kiss our ass, I'm just saying at least give us the common decency to admit that we're the same as you.
(Italians not included, LOL I know yall are alright). I'm really not even talking about any specific country, or anything, I'm just talking about specific individuals, who imagine themselves intelligent, but they're making a HUGE mistake to just pigeon hole every american or every conservative as a caveman.
Smoke:
I'm not talking about Italy. I mean not the whole world think you are stupids. If Lakers win 3 straight titles, be sure somebody (all the non-Lakers) will hate on them. For stupid reasons! They buy games, Kobe is a rapist, other teams are better, they lucky bastards, etc..! It's the same with Manchester UTD in UK, Juventus in Italy, U.S.A. Dream Team on Basketball... if you win/are the best, you have half of the people who accept it, and half of the people who doesnt accept it.

^^I don't think Trauma means sports in all of this.
The guy might be irritating but that doesn't mean you have to discuss something really different in his own thread.
And yes,Americans are pigeonholed. But what can you expect when most of you just don't care about anything if it isn't related to America? Most of you just don't know shit about the world outside America.
That isn't to say people in other countries (like over here in the Netherlands) can't be dumb as fuck,for example people over here will go on vacation to Isla Marguerita (in Venezuela) and think they're going to somewhere in Spain. ::) They just don't search information about the place they'll visit wich in my eyes is a sign of stupidity or at least terrible ignorance. I'm sure this is the case with people the world over.
