AND it's this attitude which causes all the America-hate, but you're probably aware of that already. ;D

No, dumbass, this is a defensive reaction to the hate America receives. If it perpetuates it, so be it, because there's not a fucking thing any other country can do about it. Terrorism works, I guess, after 9/11 I'd be stupid to say it doesn't... but if a country attacks us this way, we will bomb them until they're dead. LOL. Fuck it, I'm tired of trying to get along with the world, fuck the world if they dont' like me, I love me, and I love my country. If you or whoever doesn't.... oh well, come take me off the top. Until then, know your role.

Hey, my philosophy is what I eat don't make you shit and vice versa. People seem to want to know how every American thinks about foriegn countries. If we meet someone on the street that isn't from here, we're usually cool with that person.
Let me give you an example. About six years ago my neighbor was involved in a nanny program. Someone from England would come over and stay in her house for a year or two and in exchange for coming over they would be like a nanny to the kids.
That's how I met Stuart. He was one of the coolest motherfuckers I have ever met. He told me a lot about Europe and the shit he did and the motherfucker even taught me how to roll a english spliff. (4 rolling papers, herb, rolling tobacco = :) )
He didn't talk no crazy shit about American imperialism to me it was just a cool atmosphere hanging out with him.
It's other faggots on this board that push for some America vs The World war. It's fucking stupid.
Rant ovah.

^ Actually, i'm not sure if you're talking about me, lol, but I have no problem with any country in the world. I could give a fuck less what happens in other countries. I don't even feel any need to push American superiority, but if people come talking shit... I'll be the first to tell them they're inferior, and need to back the fuck down.

ok seriously...americans are stupid...to a point. we dont pay as much attention to the important shit...most base their mind capacity on sports and women. but the fact is (and some will know where im getting this arguement) americans can retain shit loads of facts. thats the reason that millions of men around the world know the final score of the yankees vs. the mariners game on july 3rd, 1988.
you constantly see trivia shows where people go on and spout off hundereds of facts about sports and movies and music. americans are damn smart...but the facts that are put into our head are different from the facts that are put into foreign heads. our media is so polluted with bullshit that we forget that there is a world outside of that box we call a tv.
but why is everyone blaming americans for this? seriously you can think about that and say "oh yeah its their fault they are all dumb because they choose not to pay attention to the important stuff"...well thats not true...if that were true then the majority of americans wouldnt be like that. its an attention span thing. americans are raised different from say...europeans. europeans are raised to be more into the important things whereas americans grow up with sesame street, southpark, and the O.C. our school system is horribly fucked yes. we are definetely not #1 in education but we get some amazing people coming from our country. the fact is its not fair to blame americans as a whole for something that isnt their fault.

^ Actually, the americans you're talking about, I'd say it is their fault, if they sit around and just numbly watch T.V. all day. I never watch T.V., I probably see 4 hours of T.V. a week, tops. Probably not even that much. I also don't pay attention to newspapers and shit, I search out my own news, and I constantly learn new things, that I want to learn about, not what the media tells me to learn about. Many, Many, Many, Many americans do the same, on a whole, America is a very intelligent and educated society.
