Many Americans hate Americans (or large swathes of them, anyway), too.

"but we didnt know", well that because u didnt want to know, the rest of the world knows. the rest of the world also knows that pressure is measured in pascals or bar, the rest of the world also knows that money has a unit.


Jesus how many times must I explain to you that everything you're saying here is irrelevant? It's just that what YOU are saying makes absolutely no sense at all. It's not people who hate America, it's YOU. I can't even respond to you anymore. I really hope I don't.

Sorry I'm not making stuff up. Those are just the real experiences I've had with americans. You meet different people in different places I guess. And comparing a kind peaceful nation of potheads with strict gun laws vs the american gun factory of paranoia...pfffttt.

Actually, we have to thank japan for that. America was quite willing to do fuck all about the mess in europe intil of course japan made them hurt and they had to save face

I think the main reason why people hate Americans is because they are overly patriotic, and a lot of the times just plain ignorant. Like it or not, A LOT of Americans have no idea what the fuck goes on outside the US.

I am American, am not fat, and do pay attention to what's going on in the world, outside of the United States. I'm definitely not overly patriotic, having strong beliefs that there are many, many things wrong with America.

I think there are many more people like you and I than people think. Herein lies the problem with generalizing an entire country.

At best, my statements prove an exception to the rule but I'll even stop short of maintaining that has any bearing on the discussion apart from saying that the sweeping arguments being made don't take into account how many more people, like myself, exist in America. In order for your argument(s), concerning all Americans to have merit, one would have to believe that my thinking has simply occurred in a vacuum; without the benefit of information from a variety of valid sources outside of myself. In essence, it would make me unique and give me cause for egocentric belief in my somewhat egocentric belief.

Your argument is, somewhat clumsily, affirming the consequent. Your logic did occur in a vacuum without any such valid analytical benchmarks. The inherent speciousness remains intact, but only because you, the egocentric self, has made a realization of them. You are simply projecting your egocentricity, which you view negatively, onto me while still egocentrically holding onto your clearly flawed and arguably egocentric beliefs.

Perhaps you are thin, like me, but your head is fatter than mine.

There are definitely millions of Americans just like you, there's no doubt about it. Unfortunately, most of the world doesn't see that, they see the lard-ass gun-toting flag-bearing pick-up driving hillbillies. It sucks but there are no positive stereotypes, except for maybe.. Asians are good at math.

I'm Canadian and I don't hate Americans. I always have a good time in the States.

You really have a way with words. I'd have to agree with everything said here, but discourage you from trying to have an intelligent discussion with the unintelligent.

Him saying nothing and you understanding nothing are vastly different.

Unfortunately, our image is currently being managed by the lunatic fringe. While they've done an excellent job, as far as the volume of prolific outreach goes, the brand truly is all-the-more tarnished for it.

More educated and cosmopolitan Americans tend to be less loud and proud about the U.S., especially these days, so they get a lot less press. Many of them are themselves busy criticizing America's faults.

so if theres so many nice americans like you why do you allow your government to act as crazy as it did or do? probably because the hillbillies have more desire to do something than the rest of you, but they need direction, which they easily get from the previous selected government - reminded alot of germany during 30s. and then it comes back to my original claim, that america is considered bad because good people dont act. or atleast not in the same size as your moronic forces. what ive also been trying to explain this whole time is that no one hates the entire american population, but one will get a stamp when you are part of a group of people doing crazy things.


Please recommend more revolutions or terrorism. Come on you know you want to.

I'm not talking about any posts in this thread, but this is something I've noticed frequently on TA. Someone makes a post mostly devoid of original content and meaningful insights, just some intellectual rambling either relativating everything or cleverly pointing out obvious truths. But the whole thing is wrapped in nicely structured sentences and exquisite words. Even worse, other applaud this crap and blindly say he's right and so great a writer. Certain people do this quite often.
Probably most people are just too lazy to carefully read through such drivel wrapped in an expensive dress and point out the flaws, starting a prolonged discussion with the verbose poster.
