All right im gonna piss ALOT of people off with this but keep an open mind without bias for this. well anyways here it is I just saw bowling for columbine and doing some traveling internationally ( Canada, united states, brazil, Argentina, England , Spain and Amsterdam in a few months) I can seriously say that there is something wrong in America. Everyone’s afraid of everyone. Almost all the Americans I meet are stuck up putting down every other country they see as being "violent" or "disgusting" when they haven’t even taken the time to look at there own country. Im not saying all Americans are like this but allot of them are... They go on saying things like "oh we suffer terrorist actions that kill thousands of our people which gives us the right to invade other countries to protect our people" but in the world nowadays there are more people being killed every day from wars and terrorists actions outside the united states and they don’t go around using it as justification to attack other countries. No other country that I know of has gone against the wishes of a majority of UN nations and entered a country violently without true reason. Anyways im getting off the point. Before Americans go around judging other countries look at your own
btw i have fixed the spelling on this since its such a big deal to you guys

I am sorry my president is an idiot. I did not vote for him.

kind of agree... the americans (i know) think US is everything in the world... If bin ladin kill 3000 in US a whole nation is terrified and start wars here and there. I bet very few of you americans know that during the last five years there have been a very bloody war in kongo with over 5 miljon people dead (2800 per day)! EU troops are now down there to help the UN troops but as far as I know there is no us troops... US don't fucknig care if the president don't benefit from sending troops there and the president doesn't benefit if the american people doesn't care....

I was watching TV yesterday and the Democrats were holding some kind of convention and they were saying how they need to get Bush out of office before he screws things worse up and they were saying how we need a change in power and all this stuff, the way they were speaking just sounded like a strong revolt! it was awesome,

yup

im sorry too. i second that. we dont all have that "invade before they invade us" mentality. a great deal of us want to keep international relationships open and happy.... sigh.....

poor osiris, it seems like youve only met the arrogant, brainwashed americans, you know the bush supporters. i am an american and i do agree with what youre saying because most of us ARE fucked up, but dont say that all americans are fucked cuz their are people in this country (like me) who absolutely hate the current state, but cant do much about it because theyre lacking in the financial department.

American tourists are not friendly... seriously - they come to a different country and within hours are ready to start arguements with people doing things differently than are done in america.

A friend of mine was on holiday in germany - in a coffee shop - and some american tourist comes in shouting something like "Where is such-and-such cathedral - I bombed it to bits in the war and want to go and see it", he failed to realise that after 50 odd years they might have built something in its place.

In short, american tourists are rude and unfriendly - in america people are friendly - but only because they want the 15% tip, which if you dont pay they get very nasty about!
