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....

if its not on the tv (news) then people dont know/care
its all about publicity and the mainstream

applies to trance too

Originally posted by joeh152 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!

I was going to write a big long answer to this, but I'm not going to waste my time....
Maybe they want a tip because that's all they get paid?? Get over it.

And because they dont get paid anything else its fine for them to be rude to people who arent willing to give them $5 to use one of the 10 taxis parked outside the hotel

Originally posted by fastmp3 i also suggest to all my american TA fellows to read Stupid White Men from M. Moore to know more about the reality

That's a very good book. After this book I realized how unaware I was of everything. It made me feel as if I was brainwashed all this time.

My god there have already been threads about Bowling for columbine. You people that think that you have some sort of great insight after watching one fucking movie and doing some sight seeing.


i was considering actually responding to your post but i am not going to waste my time.

What bullshit!!!

Every free and civilized country has their own ups and downs, their own problems; countries are different!

People need to learn to accept others differences. I've heard people talk shit about almost every country, what, Americans are so bad, go look at your own countrymen! Oh, they are angels, sure.

Any non-oppressive country has just as many good qualities as another.

I could post a thread about all the bad things about French people, and my girlfriend is french. Likewise, I could do the same for America, for Britian, for Mexico, jesus, you think America is the bane of the world?

EVERY COUNTRY HAS ITS FAULTS.
GET IT THROUGH YOUR FUCKING HEADS PEOPLE!

Word, and if you dont live here its kinda hard to comment on American Life...a book and a movie arent exactly what your opinion should be based on. Schindlers List and Mein Kompf wouldnt exactly let me know what Germany is like.
