Americans are grrrrreat!


Posted by Arbiter on Feb-25-2004 20:13:

Depends on the American. There are plenty of good ones, and plenty of bad. It's not much different around the world, either.

da flame americans thread!

it's true that a lot of european people hate america... but far from all do... donno about the france rumor, but it is probably true, on the other hand, most people in the world also hate france

Folks, I'd like to sing a song about the American dream.
About me, about you, about the way our American hearts beat way down
in the bottom of our chests. About that special feeling we get in the
cockles of our hearts, maybe below the cockles, maybe in the subcockle
area. Maybe in the liver. Maybe in the kidneys. Maybe even in the
colon, we don't know.

(Sung)
I'm just a regular Joe with a regular job.
I'm your average white suburbanite slob.
I like football and porno and books about war.
I got an average house with a nice hardwood floor.

My wife and my job, my kids and my car.
My feet on my table...and a cuban cigar.

But sometimes that just ain't enough to keep a man like me interested
no way
No, I've gotta go out and have fun at someone else's expense
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I drive really slow in the ultra-fast lane,
While people behind me are going insane.

I'm an asshole
I'm an asshole

I use public toilets and I piss on the seat,
I walk around in the summertime saying "How about this heat?"

I'm an asshole
I'm an asshole

Sometimes I park in handicapped spaces,
While handicapped people make handicapped faces.

I'm an asshole
I'm an asshole

Maybe I shouldn't be singing this song
Ranting and raving and carrying on
Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong...

NAAAAH!

I'm an asshole
I'm an asshole

(Spoken)
Know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac El Dorado Convertible, hot pink, with whaleskin hubcaps and all-leather cow interior and big brown baby seal eyes for headlights... yeah! And I'm
gonna drive around in that baby at 115 miles per hour, getting 1 mile
per gallon, suckin' down quarter pound cheeseburgers from McDonald's
in the old-fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam containers and when
I'm done suckin' down those greaseball burgers I'm gonna wipe my mouth
on the American Flag and then I'm gonna toss the styrofoam containers
right out the side, and there ain't a goddamn thing anybody can
do about it. You know why? Because we got the bombs, that's why Two
words: Nuclear fuckin' weapons, OK? Russia, Germany, Romania, they
can have all the democracy they want...they can have a big democracy
cakewalk right through the middle of Tienamen Square and it won't make
a lick of difference, because we got the bombs, OK? John Wayne's not
dead, he's frozen! And as soon as we find a cure for cancer, we're
gonna thaw out the Duke and he's gonna be pretty pissed off. You know
why? Have you ever taken a cold shower? Well, multiply that by 15
million times, that's how pissed off the Duke's gonna be.
I'm gonna get the Duke and John Casavetti and Lee Marvin

and Sam Peckinpaw

and a case of whisky

and drive to Texas...HEY, HEY HEY!

Why don't you shut up and sing the song, pal?

(Sung)
I'm an asshole
I'm an asshole
A S-S H-O L-E
Everybody, A S-S H-O L-E
Arf, Arf Arf, Arf Arf, Arf Arf

This is what GWAR speaks about being "Americanized" (ca. 1989)

I'm Americanized.
9 (nine) tons o' crack a day.
It's up my butt, the USA
All you people will worship us--
You worship me, but still you suck...
U.S.A.--I'm Americanized
U.S.A.--(I'm the Prince of Lies)

I'm Americanized.
Death to all who wear paisley,
plucking babies' heads like daisies.
Your world is filled with hate and filth.
I'll rape your dog with a plow...
Drugs unt guns, drugs and guns.
C'mon man, let's go kill someone.
Cheap f@%kers, sheep f@%kers,
You're all cheap f@%kers...


I think occrider agrees with it a bit lol.

good observation. ive been to some chat rooms, usually Yahoo! Chat (European Chat). americans always come in, and start bashing the entire world. saying how superior they are. how if america and europe went to war, america would kick europes ass, and how stupid the world is, and how great america is. nothing but bullshit.

DID U KNOW 64% OF AMERICAN WOMEN ARE OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE?? 56% FOR MEN. ONLY 12% OF ALL AMERICANS ARE PHYSICALLY FIT AND MAINTAIN HEALTHY HABITS. 42% MAINTAIN AN IDEAL WEIGHT, AND THE REST ARE GETTING FATTER BY THE DAY AS THEY SHOVE BIGMAC AFTER BIGMAC IN THEIR MOUTHS. OH THEN, THEY WANT TO ORDER A DIET COKE. U KNOW U GOTTA WATCH YOUR WEIGHT...

i dunno, ive been here for 5 monthes now, and i have to say. i did have a stereotype of americans. of their arrogant bahavior and stupidity of world affairs. basically i was right on both my stereotypes, because in my school, nobody gives a shit about their politics, the election of the new president, or whats going in the world. some people dont know who blair is, and ive heard some people mix saddam hussein and osama bin laden up. thinking osama was the leader of irak. ironically, these same people dont even know where irak is. and this is widespread. isnt just a few people. its the general attitude i find in the school i go to.

LASTLY!! AMERICANS ARE FAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont think america is good for Electronic Music, trust them to exploit, harrasse it and then continue to run it in the ground till everyone and there dog thinks its "cool", in a few years all the lil teeny boppers will be pumpin it in there bedrooms when they are gettin ready for school, for all i know it is likely that way allready. It is this way due to corperate america, and everyone wanting a buck or 2, thats the way I feel and my opinion. Americans dont bother flamming me back, i have absolutely no personal problems with americans.

I remember on the news that americans were pouring out french wine because France did not support the US in their war against Iraq. So i guess thats why they hate the US, cant blame em. Im sure they loved you guys before as they gave you the statue of liberty

If you dont want people to hate you, dont interfere with other country's politics and issues unless they ask, dont start wars with other nations.

Generally american people are pretty cool. I really dont see much of a cultural difference between canadian and americans.

Most nations probably just hate your current government.

i could not have said it better myself. The only electronica anyone hears is the shit on the ONE electronica radiostation (excluding rap). All it plays is cheesy dance: IVD, shitty 80s music, etc.

I don't hate Americans. Then again, I don't like them either.

Nah, there are stupid Americans, just as there are stupid Australians, and stupid Europeans. I would much prefer to live her than in the US, primarily because I think our junior and secondary school system is better, and I don't think I could take the amount or religious rubbish that tends to creep it's way into the government in America. I have exactly the same amount of freedom here as I would in the US, probably more. That being said, I would much prefer to live in the US than in Africa, Asia (Japan excluded) or the Middle East.

Meh, a smart American is a smart American, and a stupid American is a stupid American.

Posted by priveye03 on Feb-26-2004 14:17:

Coming from a german stand-point, Americans are very fat. Also lazy because of just driving cars everywhere and not walking at all, even if the destination is close to the starting point. But also you have to realize, the only real american culture the germans learn comes from the TV (soaps, ER, etc.) and from films. Also Heinz was right (omg I'm agreeing with Heinz, that rare) that most americans don't have any idea about politics. Here if you ask most anyone about politics (from about 14 up) they will at least have a basic knowledge and have a firm opinion. But yeah, there are good americans and bad americans.

I think it was James Clive, that said that "America is a place to keep Americans" lol

I'm not that harsh though, its a vast country.

From my personel experince they really loud and annoying! And whats with the exchange student girls we get here TRYING to look like Britny Spears and Christian Agilerra (whatever)? I had a large continhent of US students at the collage I was staying and they didn't make an effort to say hello, even after we did. They came off as american sterotypes, sorry to say
