are gun toting, gang bangin, mob boss, drug dealin criminals. like just on this board for instance. When someone brings up crime stats in america, i get the vibe they think everyone in america is involved in some illegal act. When they talk about rappers they say stuff like he is just talking about daily events in his neighborhoods. And its like that shit dont happen every minute. Like i saw someone say loyd banks album is just telling stories about his neighborhood jamaica queens. an its like do you realize how big jamaica is. Do you realize you have rich neighborhoods in jamaica an slums. And in the slums it aint raining bullets like rappers say it is. I dunno i got a lot to say but i cant put it into words lol. Jus like seer asked do us americans think europe is some giant 3rd world country. Do you europeans think america is some giant gang territory where everyone owns a gun or sells drugs.
-
No, but I think I can say out of experience Europeans have a better picture of the USA than Americans have of Europe.
-
hmmm, well I'm actually from America, and I thought that was true.
-
You just get the general impression that near all Americans have weapons, and it's 100 times easier to purchase weapons there, like e.g. selling it in malls and shit, wether you're mentally fit to own a gun or not.
E.g. on the Munch "Scream & Madonna" theft today, 2 of the witnesses was from America, this is what they told press:
50-60 year old dude:
"This guy was waving around with a, well you know I'm from Texas so I know my guns hehe, I think a .37 caliber or .40"
Woman:
"The man looked crazy and confused, he pointed around with a, I think it was a 40 caliber, it's actually the first time I seen a gun in Norway"
Owning a weapon here in Norway, usually means 3 things:
1. You're a hunter or in a shooting club.
2. You're a policeman or in the military
3. You're a criminal
We don't keep guns for security reasons over here, it's not needed at all. :)
-
nah we think americans are fat red neck lazy mcdonalds eating slobs..
coz we get shown that jerry springer and oprah..
either that or they're ultra nice white people.. like on friends, will and grace. etc...
lol.. know its not true.. but its how it looks!
do they show any english soaps in america?
-
Every state in America is completely different.
-
yes I do think americans own WAY too many guns. from crackers in ohio to niggaz in compton.. everybody. too many guns.
thing is.. if someone is drunk or an asshole or whatever in other countries, there are fistfights in which the fighters are pulled away from each other in a second.
but, if everybody owns 6 guns, the fights are "different"... I can tell from experience that if certain ppl who attacked someone when I was around had guns, I might be dead by now lol. but since this isnt the case at all, it's all good.
guns are a true problem in the US, yes, I think that.
-
Every state in America is completely different.
just like every state, in every country in europe..
thats a lotta difference..
-
No, but I think I can say out of experience Europeans have a better picture of the USA than Americans have of Europe.
yeah ::) some ppl honestly think polar bears walks in streets of Finland, and thats retarded..
and no i dont think all they got guns and shit and bullets flying in every corner, but still america got way more guns and crimes then all europe probably together..*sarcasm*
but u get the idea..
some1 must b very young or very stubid to think that all what tom gotti said is true.. :P

Nope. I think we can get BBC comedy? Or something like that... I think it's called BBC America, I dunno. I saw a commercial for one of the shows one time, looked hilarious. There was some fat guy @ an office, with people standing around, and he was like, I've got good news, and I've got bad news... the bad news is, 5 of us are going to be laid off..... the good news is, I just got a raise. Everybody's quiet, and he goes "Eh.... still miffed about the bad news, eh?" Or something like that.

That's not true...I own a gun just for the hell of it and/or saftey reasons.
-
Lest there be any doubt, I own several guns. I have pistols, I have rifles, I have shotguns, I even have guns that are almost impossible to fire because they're antiques. I have a Russian machine gun, too, LOL.

The Office is my second favorite show of all time. I own the DVDs.

I don't have a gun. But I know alot of people that do... I do think some of the laws are bullshit too. I got charged with Assault and Battery today. Get this it was some dudes that came into my neighborhood to jump me. I went outside alone and 4 of them were in there car and when I got like 3 feet from the car the started it up. I knew they were there earlier with bats and shit. So I popped the dude in the face while he was in the car and he drove off and i smashed there back window out. This was Wednesday night. I get a call this morning that I am being charged with assault and battery becuase the dudes went to the cops. Now what kind of pussies come to jump me and then when I punch one of them they call 5-0. Granted I did break the bone under his eye and his nose, So he is pressing charges. The cops don't care one bit that they were down there with bats just that i defended myself. Thats gay.

Oh well, you get the impression it's mostly #3, with some additional #2..
That's not true...I own a gun just for the hell of it and/or saftey reasons.
That's what you always hear in those gun arguments.
"I HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEFEND MYSELF, MY CHILDREN, AND MY HOUSE"
lol
^ Yeah, "it's not needed at all", until they steal the most valuable property IN YOUR ENTIRE FUCKING COUNTRY, lol.
LoL
The general Norwegian doesn't give a shit about some crappy painting.
It's the tourists loss anyways, we're not losing any money on that either way... ;D
It's not like there's a actual risk of somebody breaking into your house or getting robbed in a backalley.. :D
Whenever the politicians discuss gun politics, this argument is always brought up: "We DO NOT want American conditions". :)
-
in america every city has a ghetto and every city has a rich side... some have gangs some just have drugs some have guns it all depends where you live my city has mainly all but gangs have been cut down alot and so has guns.. but drugs are still bad...
-
P.S. i live in Texas and we get alot of drugs cuzz looks whos right below us... ;)
-
In Arizona you have those plants or trees (I don't know what they are) and they grow really high in the air, about 4 or 5 meters. We used to cut them off with a samurai sword :D
-
i dont think the people on this board can speak for EVERYone from their country tho. I mean, i dont think shit about Europeans really. Obviously they arent all the same. Ask the Germans if they are the same as the Polish lol. But its silly to think we all the same too. Shit, like Tom said...just in one neighborhood....it can be ghetto as hell, and nice on tha other side. I understand tho why people might believe what they see on tv or hear on cd's about us. For someone who never been here, thats all they have to know what its like here.

it's funny how ignorant europeans like jome make america out to be when they havn't even been to the most gun affluent cities in america
compton? not 90% as bad as people make it out to be......the most unsafe place to be in LA at night is not compton, watts,e. LA, long beach or inglewood, but skidrow.
Detroit? pretty much the crime capitol of the US BUT it's no more less safe than london is
New york? IMO new york gets the worst rap as this "home of the mafia" 'rough neck" "ghetto of all ghettos" NY ain't nothing like that ...if anything it's one of the safest , the only scary thing is all those people on the side walk ....mu fucker might scuff my jordans.
Jome you're an ignorant idiot...

new york aint nothing like it was. Through out the 70's an 80's you had 2000 muderes a year. Shit was crazy. But that all went away basically. Drug Turf is settled now an all the big time dealers in ny went down south. and the mafia is more legit than in years an arent as reckless where there pop off at the drop of a dime. seriously, the best tho was when jome said loyd banks cd is telling a story of growing up in jamaica queens lol.

Why.. ??
Because I'm breaking down the stereotype American for you.. ?
And neither I nor Europeans make that stereotype, AMERICANS CREATE IT, you moron!
But then again, you probably never set your foot outside U.S., and neither do you understand the term "stereotype".
Americans like to describe Englishmen as "Americans except wack dental hygiene, without proper sports, and without good looking women" and Frenchmen as "Feminine pussies with a stupid language, closet homosexuals and what worse is".
IF ANYBODY shouldn't be talking about other cultures and stereotypes, it's Americans !!!
The stereotypes Americans have of other cultures, are the least educated and dumbest stereotypes there is, this board should be proof enough. (Like always, this doesn't go for every American, there are smart ones, but then again there's dumbasses like Jake who ruins for the smart Americans)
And for the last time, let me make this simple for you:
When you ask for the term "Stereotype American", it does NOT EQUAL "my opinion", it's the picture the rest of the world have of Americans based on Americans actions, behavior, culture, etc.
ster·e·o·type
n
1. A conventional, formulaic, and oversimplified conception, opinion, or image.
2. One that is regarded as embodying or conforming to a set image or type.

Aren't nerds and professors stereotyped as smart and well-educated?(Along with characteristic grey hair and white coat for the professor and glasses,pimples and celibatic lifestyle for the nerd)

lol jome you're a hypocrit....americans create their stereotype? Fine ....well so do black a being watermelon and fried chicken eating basketball player who can't speak right, well so do white people as being robotic souless racists, so do germans as being militant angry nazi's, so do asians as being rice eating samari sword throwing kung fu fighters.....jome shut your bitch ass up with that logic.
so since i'm american i can never talk about stereotypes...oh okay sorry i didn't know you were Jesus Christ. And for the record i've been to Spain Italy England and Germany so jack me off slowly bitch i've got a healthier view of europe than you do ....besides you're putting words in my mouth with those stereotypes...i never once said that crap about those nationalities. ...jome shut your bitch ass up with your gay logic
How would you know how all americans think? now you're just making assumptions and grabbing shit out of the air. If what you say is true , that all americans have the worst and most ignorant views of other countries....that ain't our fault....the only reason why you know so much about us is because you got our great culture's cock down your throats.....if you want americans to have a better view of Europe develope something over there that is of interest besides the Spice Girls and Ace of Base. I see america as being one of those popular people in highschool that everyone knows about...and i see some european countires as those angry goth chicks who hate the popular .....jome shut up with your gothic girl ass.
i don't know why you felt the need to define stereotype......i know what it is, and i know what you know what it is, now that you looked it up.
but if you want people to stop stereotyping your insignificant ass and your insignificant country .....don't stereotype ours
i think you ma'am need to take a history class and learn some american culture.

Simpler and dumber argumentation I haven't heard since elementary school.
(I went to school with a dumb fat ugly American girl, do I assume that all Americans are fat, ugly and dumb like you would assume. ? No.)
You proved once and for all, that you're a ignorant, simple-minded moron.
I think you need to look up the definition of stereotype again, get back here when you get it.

^ you fail to show me how i don't understand the meaning of stereotyping. either way you're falling for more stereotypes than me...wow there you go jome something you can do better than me. now you can walk away from this post feeling better about yourself.
so just because you've gone to more european countries than me you have a better understanding about america than i have of europe?? LMAO have you ever even been to the US? and if you have i doubt you've even seen the many many many many many many many many many many many different parts of the US, no two parts of the US are the same. my whole point is I actually have been to your neck of the woods and explored for myself what thoset culutures over the pond are like. while you're sitting on your fat ass talking about a country you havn't even experienced.
Jome the day you tavle the west coast , the east coast, the bible belt, the southwest, the north, the midwest and middle america.....you have no place in a conversation about american culture
it's so obvious your the one here embracing stereotypes

well it was like you were saying earlier about tom's post, queens might be considered "ghetto" but it's got it's nice parts. I went there a couple of years ago and it's just like New York in A LOT of ways, it's got it's really popular places that are hollowed and cool, then they got nice places, then they got average places, then there's the underbelly where it's all grungy and "ghetto"

EVERY city and EVERY country have nice parts, we're talking about the general picture.
You'll find nice rich parts of cities in Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine... what's your point.. ??

You get all personal and touchy when stereotypes are brought up.
You also mix personal prejudices, inferiority complexes, views & opinions up with stereotypes.
Let's take an example here:
In the European stereotypes thread, these stereotypes was brought up for Scandinavia, where I'm from:
Windmills, Vikings. Wooden Shoes.Blonde supermodels, just like canada, cold , full of happy go lucky blonde people.
Cold, lots of fields and farms, and green when there is no snow. Not many people, but the ones that are there are borderline Communist. In case of war, they defend themselves with hockey sticks
They Wear Wooden shoes And Dance in skirts and pigtails and everyone is blond hair blue eyes
Fine ass blond chicks, very sexual.
The only thing I feel familiar with from these quotes, are blonde supermodels, and that it's colder than most of Europe..
I have never seen a wooden shoe except on museums, we don't have many farms, the communist party gets 0.001% of the votes (probably Russian immigrants), hockey is a very small sport here, and far from everyone is blonde, neither do we dance in skirts and pigtails.
Do I get all mad and mushy and say "We're not using wooden shoes, and we don't have windmills, god damn it!!" or "Fucking dumbass Americans, we're not communists! aaaarrrgghh fucking morons, I'm soooo maaad"
Do I.. ?
Nope.

EVERY city and EVERY country have nice parts, we're talking about the general picture.
You'll find nice rich parts of cities in Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine... what's your point.. ??
i believe i was talking to daygo, but New york and London are on the same "unsafe" scale.
You get all personal and touchy when stereotypes are brought up.
You also mix personal prejudices, inferiority complexes, views & opinions up with stereotypes.
lol i get all personal.....wow correct me if i'm wrong but i walked out of this post (after my first post) and went to bed...you on the other hand walked away from this post , made a whole other post saying "stupid jake don't know shit so i'm making a new thread to TRY to son him blah blah"........seriously jome who's the one getting butt hurt here?
Let's take an example here:
In the European stereotypes thread, these stereotypes was brought up for Scandinavia, where I'm from:
Windmills, Vikings. Wooden Shoes.Blonde supermodels, just like canada, cold , full of happy go lucky blonde people.
Cold, lots of fields and farms, and green when there is no snow. Not many people, but the ones that are there are borderline Communist. In case of war, they defend themselves with hockey sticks
They Wear Wooden shoes And Dance in skirts and pigtails and everyone is blond hair blue eyes
Fine ass blond chicks, very sexual.

No, I made the post to see what impression Americans have of Europeans, and what the stereotypes are like.
And my assumptions proved correct regarding the replies, not surprisingly.

Couldn't come up with any arguments yourself, only useless commenting from the sideline.. ?
I don't waste my time on people who sleep with Mauzip for positive karma, and post about Alchemist in the Outbound section just cuz he works with the East.

lol jome you're a hypocrit....americans create their stereotype? Fine ....well so do black a being watermelon and fried chicken eating basketball player who can't speak right, well so do white people as being robotic souless racists, so do germans as being militant angry nazi's, so do asians as being rice eating samari sword throwing kung fu fighters.....jome shut your bitch ass up with that logic.
Bullshit. With racist stuff on whites it's a pure double standard, and with claiming Germans are militant angry nazis you're as wrong as they come. The todays German wont even dare to say anything patriotic or even racist. Patriotism = non-existent in Germany. Militant? LoL. Look at our military then look at yours, look at our passed 4 years military-wise then look at yours. My friends and me rather go feeding old ppl or something (that's what you have to do here for a year if you refuse to go to the military) than joining the Bundeswehr. It's just your old-fashioned image of Germans, they dont create it. Our grand-grandfathers created it and you still call us Nazis. What a shame. It's like Europeans calling todays Americans Pilgrims and claiming that you always get into ships and try to conquer new land with barettas. Also nice how you left out the Mexican stereotype part in your great talk. What a subtle coincidence.

LMFAO ARE YOU STUPID. Jake wasnt dissing germans or anyone there lol. It was a jab at jome's logic. Not a jab at germans.

I am stupid? Well, then you're a hypocrite. LoL.
He used it to fuck Jome up, although, it was still a diss. He didnt use to show that such stereotypes are untrue, but to show that it is normal that stereotyped ppl create their own stereotype which makes it irrelevant that this is also the case with Americans because it's banal and normal. That doesnt imply that it's untrue, it implies that Germans, Asians, Negros, Whites etc .. create their (true) stereotypes themselves. I felt offended, just like you sometimes do. So, I shared my view with Wcc. A noble thing. I shouldnt be dissed for that, Tommy.
-
lol why am i the subject of analysis of what i meant ....first trauma , NIK ,and some dude, now tom and some one from the 3rd riech (joke)
anyways like tom said, thanks btw tom for knowing what i'm talking about, it was me using Jome's logic against him. not once did i say in that post that's how all germans are, hell i've been to germany and they ain't nazi's(more like ravers and techno fiends if anything)....that's just the stereotype y'all got LIKE IT OR NOT! seriously if you got offended by what i said you truely are a tampon case.

LMAO!!
So the American stereotype about having easier access to weapons and having more crime than the average European country + most things in U.S. is XXL (buildings, people, food, sport stadiums etc.), that's American bashing propaganda bullshit from Jome, but it's totally OK and accepted that the German stereotype is that they are ugly angry militant nazis... ??
LM motherfucking AO !!!!
-
Jome you're a true and prime example of a tampon case.
seriously jome i'm not arguing with the german dude over the stereotype him and germany have. Germans have that stigma of being uptight militant body building nazi's ....that's the Stereotype not reality. i'm not trying to argue over reality unlike some little boy whose been locked up in some insignificant part of the world comenting on a place he doesn't understand or has even been to . i'm not running around telling him how germany is...you on the other hand are running around telling us how america is from STEREOTYPES.....i could care less about what you see stereotypically, the problem is that you actually believe them. you actually believe people in Jamaica queens stand on their front porches and shoot randomly in the sky, you actually believe that eazy e woke up every morning went to the corner store and robbed the vietnamese liquor store for breakfast. It's amazing how much you're judging america...off of some stereotypes. again jome until you've even seen LA or NY like me and tom....don't even bother to comment on "how bad the US gun control policies are"
-
OMG, you're so fucking dumb.
When the fuck did I say "people in Jamaica queens stand on their front porches and shoot randomly in the sky" or "eazy e woke up every morning went to the corner store and robbed the vietnamese liquor store for breakfast"..... ??
You're making bullshit up, because you're a braindead dimwit.
again jome until you've even seen LA or NY like me and tom....don't even bother to comment on "how bad the US gun control policies are"

A good way to escape the real discussion, and avoid actually bringing up facts.
Might as well lock this up, ain't no reason to go back and forth in circles with a 3rd grader..
