:: 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.

I do not believe you at all. You are 20 years old and you already have your degree. No, I definately do not believe you. You have done nothing to demonstrate the fact you are a genius (something you would need to be to graduate from school in two years or have skipped two years in high school). In fact I remember you posting about how two years ago you were smoking pot in your parents basement and doing shrooms and other psychoactives along with some coke. Do I believe you have already completed 120 something credit hours to get your degree? Fuck no.

I do not believe you at all. I get the incredile feeling you are a compuslive liar and generally full of shit alot of the time.

It's "earn as you go" depending on how many clients I get.

Thats called a salesman.

I am just as skilled as my full-time coworkers.

In a few years as a part-timer you have become just as skilled at your job as people who have worked at their job full time for years, if not decades? Yeah right. You either have a severe ego problem or are lying and know it full well. No intern or apprentice or whatever the fuck you are who has worked his/her job for a few years would ever have the balls to claim something like that without some incredible hubris which you def. dont lack at all.

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.

Describe what you do. And I want to know where you work.

If I stay on at my job, I'll be making 6 figures within 5 years.

Again, I hope you are thanking daddy who got you your internship.

There are people at my work that are less-qualified than I am

A 20 year old who is still in college that has likley worked on his job for less than two years who claims a bachelors degree, something that usually averages even the smartest students 3 years at the least, in a subject (business) he has demonstrated no knowledge of and you are more qualified than people who have been working your job for years? Yeah, OK.

And I got friends in business, that aint the easiest degree and it is very linear. You need one class to take another and this takes time, more than two years. To put it simply, I do not believe you in the least and I think you are lying out your ass. Whatever. Doesnt matter to me, you are the only one who knows if you are lying or not.

Huh.

I really hope your textbooks dont teach you that but I know they dont. If you really do believe that, well, all I can say is that is quite a foolish view. The largest fleet seen out of Europe in history at that point was sent to the Americas in general and New York in specific and was first felt at the Battle of Brooklynn. Their fleet almost managed to destroy the rebellion in much the same way the rebels ended the Unionist cause at Yorktown by keeping Cornwallis in the city with the French fleet cutting off the sea escape. And the reason the war was ended was because of the same thing that happened to the US in Vietnam: the masses were not behind the war. PM Lord North was under intense political pressure back home from the continual failure to end the rebellion, eventually being forced to resign his post.

I can assure you, the British were well aware of the value of the colonies.

We had the 2nd largest Empire EVER and the sun never set on it.

It was actually the largest empire ever. Anywho, I find it curious you are bragging about this and at the same time railing on America for her percieved "imperial" actions. Really is rather hypocritical.

We have made more major breakthroughs over the entire of history then America.

We said we had the right to conquer countries because they were uncivilised and we'd bring them culture etc It was wrong but at the time it was considered a valid reason by everyone.

Now America (and the UK) lied to everyone, including their cuntry as to why they invaded another country.

Times change. Back then it was acceptable to say "Waht're you lookin' at?" and procede to brawl with countries, these days it isnt but America seems to be quite happy doing it anyway THEN sticking up for it! Most amusing.

Yes, but nowadays if you want to start and continue a war it's often very hard to gain momentum without exaggerating the truth and covering up intentions. At least here in America.

If the administration had come out and said something like "we are going to send your friends and family overseas so we can secure oil" or "we want to gain a powerful foothold in the Middle East" or something of that sort, then they would never get support. Sure, those are both some things that would be morally questionable, but it greatly benefits the country.

Now if we can blur these things with slogans and fear tactics and such, then so be it. If that's what gets the job done.

I agree with you, however, that we shouldn't go to war over such things, but I can see where, if the circumstances were a little more grave, that covering up true intentions would be a valid action to take.

That is a bit of an exaggeration. They aren't that bias. I agree that there is bias, but then claiming your own media is without bias? I find that highly unlikely, as bias is impossible to avoid when you have to discuss political affairs and wars every day of the week.

No, I was point out (in a some what jackassish/humorish way) that Australia's general public is isloated, and that they don't typically put as much passion in to politics as other countries.

Even though you may not wish to admit it, but Americans aren't all just "I support you as my President cuz you are good looking".

Typically, if you see an American saying people from Canada live in igloos or that all British people love tea, we are probably just making fun of you.

Oh! That's the difference between America and countries like Britian and Canada. We don't hatefull generalize and bitch at other countries nonstop! As an American I am proud to say I find the most lighthearted stereotype of a country and make fun of you for it.

So in general I guess I would have to give lighthearted asshole-ishness to the Americans, while passionate, unwarranted ignorant hatred of a peoples would go to you guys.

I'm not saying the hatred of American policy is unfounded. But to just say you hate America doesn't invite change or discussion at all. It just makes us all look like dicks. It makes YOU look like dicks because you are contantly bitching about a country that isn't very influence by what our foreign counterparts say. And we look like dicks for having to defend against your dickery.

How about every country focus on their own flaws and problems. And when either you fix ALL of them or one of America's actions is directly, negatively, effecting your country in a huge way - then you can bitching endlessly about others flaws. Deal?

Oh, and you can still poke fun at our stereotypical flaws, because we are probably going to continue calling you all out on yours.

Americas actions are negatively affecting our country. Now we are losing soldiers in Afghanistan to fight your...Bush's dirty little war iover there. As well as Iraq. But thats not entirely your fault; our government has a tendency to sell us out too in many ways. No different from yours. It's organized crime where we elect the Don, except in Bush's case, he buys his way in. Florida ring a bell?

Look back a little way in history and tell me who sponsered Osama in Afghanistan? Who put the Shah in Iran? Saddam in charge of Iraq? Who attacked there own troops to start the conflict in Viet-nam (there's some pride and glory for you. Who had all those deviant schemes to try to start a war with Cuba and Russia? Whatt country allowed there navy to be sitting ducks in Pearl Harbor? Who kept Osama in hiding when he was wanted before 9/11. Who allowed thousands of deaths on 9/11 just to satisfy there own political agenda?

With a blind, misled attitude like yours, soon you will be walking around with a micro-chip in your arm so they can keep track of you. Show your papers when you leave the house. Check-points. Curfews. Starting to sound like Nazi Germany? That'/s the way you are headed. And us. But closed minds and apathy will only allow this to happen. Sorry! This more then one paragraph you may get lost.

We sponsored Al-Queda in Afghanistan to fight communism. So what? Back then, they were our buddies. There was nothing wrong with what we did with the Shah, and we quit working with Iran when the Ayatollah took power. And that's also why we supported Saddam: to balance the Ayatollah. We did try to start a wor with Cuba and Russia, but what nation is truly pacifistic?

Also, don't drag Pearl Harbor into this. Pear Harbor was an honest mistake. Also, the entire navy was NOT there, the carriers were off wargaming. Check your facts next time.

I know my shit doesn't stink and I have very different views on politics. When you see and cause death based upone political reasons, you see things in much different light.

Face it! He doesn/'t know. He's blind to the facts. Too scared to delve deeper for the truth. He'll wallow in his false pride until one morning he wakes up and realizes it's all too late. His country has become what he thought he was being protected from. Pathetic. But he does have a good case...of verbal diareha. Probably spelled that wrong but I'm sure I'll be informed.

Would you mind linking this source that says we are all facist nazies? Who ever thinks we are is a moron. Guess what people? British Imperialism caused the middle east to be so fucked up. Also, only 27 percent of americans support Bush. Open your eyes. America is a Republic, and the congress elections show what the majority think. I personnally do not have a biase against anyone. I like the UK and my favorite food is canadien. Whoever starts shit just to hate on people who did not do a godamn thing is stupid. See, the great thing about america is there is no typical "American". America is a mixing pot of all types of people instead of just one. So please, before you declare your racial and national supremcy against americans, please think. Do not bash my Homeland, and I will not bash yours.

If you're referring to something I said you may be taking it out of context. I, personally have nothing against Americans as a whole and spent a lot of time south of the border. Once you get out of the cities the country is beautiful as it is here. (don't like cities here either). Most people were quite friendly as most are here. But to be called a cunt by certain closed minded individuals who are too scared to hear the truth and apparently have delusions of grandeur tend to piss me off as well as others out there. It's not the Americans I hate, it is tthe facist government. Trust me, ours isn't too much better but I'd be the last to defend them.

Yea, fancy that, you post and STILL offer no proof of facism. America does not have gas chambers for muslims or anything of the sort. You said before you had a reliable source that the US is facist. Well, take it out now! I can call bluffs, espically when there from a mis-led bimbo who gets his sources from google search" US and facism"
My country is great. It does not have to beg for forgiveness. I hope you understand that someday.
