:: Oh shut your fucking mouth. Stupid Canadians, Brits and Australians will say whatever they will about America regardless of what one single American says. They LOVE to bash America because it helps them salvage their dignity and ignore the fact that their countries are inferior. You ask any single Brit why America sucks, and they will say something that is either completely wrong, or is about something that their country is actually worse in. But they don't know this, because their society intentionally breeds a bunch of misinformed little twists who focus all of their attention on America and ignore their own problems.
Really?
I hate "America" (not the people) for several reasons. Its daft and corrupt political system, the country's tendancy to throw its weight around the world, its one eye'd foreign policy (The enemy of my enemy is my friend, its how you ended up with Osama and Saddam). I hate the way that it, ultimatley, uses it's military dominance to bully other country's into trading with it in a free trade agreement but at the same time proposes and passes laws to protect it's own industry.
I hate most Americans becuase most the Americans I know are like you, full of themselves. Most the world hates you because of your actions and the attitude of your coutnry, not because we're jealous.
The UK invented America, we left it during a war with you because we couldn't be bothered with it (we thought it wasn't worth the effort, we were wrong). We had the 2nd largest Empire EVER and the sun never set on it. We have made more major breakthroughs over the entire of history then America. Despite the fact we are a tiny fraction of your size we still have power and influence that, while it isn't any where near America's it is much better on the grunds of the size and wealth of our countries.
What? It's hard to NOT have an argument with a Canadian, Brit, or Australian when every day they repeatedly spout out false bullshit that they know nothing about. Heaven forbid that once in a while an America who knows the facts comes out to prove them wrong... Heaven forbid.
I'd gladly let an American who knows the facts come along and prove me wrong, and ghuess what? I'm still waiting. So far I haven't read one post that proves how the hatred for America is unjust.
I have sympathy for those who hgave said "Well we're not perfect, but who is? The government isn't the people you know" because if every American took that attitude your coutnry wouldn't be anywhere near as hated.
It doesn't matter what Americans actually do, stupid non-Americans will hate America regardless because they have already been heavily indoctrinated with false, out of context, anti American bullshit their entire lives.
Indoctrinated? The UK has laws meaning any TV news channel showed here must be totally unbias when it comes to anything and if they arent they can be screwed for it.
What about America.... oh wait, every single news channel has a poilitical bias, wether it be Fox News reporting that top democrats are devil worshippers or some other news channel saying that Bush east babies for breakfast, America is much mroe influenced by the media then the UK.
I do have a degree you imbecile. I have a Bachelors Degree in Business-tech in addition to my High school diploma. And next year I'll have my 4-year Military Science/Military engineering degree, and that will open up all kinds of doors.
I am highly skilled, highly educated, and highly sought-after in my line of work. I have been given job offers from Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Radeon, and I even got an offer from a Dubai-based weapon developer...So you don't know wtf you're talking about.
And my salary isn't $45,000 a year, I don't have a salary. It's "earn as you go" depending on how many clients I get. I thought I was going to make about $38,000 for 2006, but I made about $45,000 because I took on more projects. Even though I'm still technically an apprentice, I am just as skilled as my full-time coworkers.
You claim how America is the best country yada yada and that you are both well educated and highly skilled.
You have a degree and can earn $45,000 a year, that amounts to what? about £24000? per year?
Well done, with your degree you earn £4000 (about $8000) over the average earnings in the UK.
Either you're talknig through your ass about your qualifications, you got ripped off with your job, or your country isn't as affulent per person as you'd like to think.
I get payed 60% of the profit on whatever project I work on which is usually $800-$1000 per project and I do 1-3 of them per week, and I'm very fucking good at what I do. If I stay on at my job, I'll be making 6 figures within 5 years. There are people at my work that are less-qualified than I am, and yet they make $200,000-$300,000 a year just because they've worked there longer.
Ok fair point, in 5 years time you will be earning (Say $400K because I'm generous) £200,000 PA. That is less then lawyers in this country.
The UK isn't perfect, but at least we don't stomp around the world trying to claim how we are the best and perfect.
