Ok like what? He's credited for improving the alternating current electric power systems so what exactly is history miscrediting to edison? |

| I think that there is a big difference between Europeans and Americans, in the way both of these people see life. Lets take Europe for example. Well everyone talks about Europe as one big whole happy continent, but its quite the opposite. Throughout history Europeans have always fought among them, and still in present days, are doing just the same. I do agree that Europeans are very civilized people, if not the most civilized in all of the world, just because of their rich and ancient culture, which are the foundations of this world, and the foundation of our current world superpower, the USA. Now, all of this thread proves that the thread starter is right, nothing but bashing, rather then giving intelligent responses, but responses such, they see America through the media, and I cant help it but notice that a few Americans in here are actually bashing their own country as well. The way I see it sometimes is that a lot of Europeans that come on this board are intelligent Europeans that can actually afford a computer, but not taking in consideration that million of poor Europeans that cant afford to give their families food. But in American, almost everyone can afford a computer, because of our economy and the way of our lifestyle. I personally do not think that America should be compared with any other country in the world. I think there are a few countries that come somewhat close to being compared, but even with those, we shouldn’t. To a normal hardworking American, politics or whatever goes on in this world could mean nothing, or to a lower-class American, a southern redneck for example, wouldn’t even give a what goes on in America. When, in Europe, working class men, go into cafes and talk about politics and waste their life on that. Most Europeans seem to look at America as a cowboy nation, just because the president is from Texas. Also, why blame the president for everything? At least our presidents have done something about this world, helped it, made it a better place. Everyone seems to blame Bush for all of Americas problems, and seems to hate his foreign policies. Well, don’t worry, he will leave one day, and a democrat will come, and Europeans will like us again, and then a republican will come and have stronger policies. That’s what makes America so great. We don’t rely on the government to control our life’s, it changes once every 4 years or 8, and you hardly see a difference, the people that actually see a difference, are whiners that bitch about anything in this world, they aren’t happy with what they have. Getting back at the European and American differences, as I mentioned, Europe seems to fight with itself. We, the USA, don’t have that problem, we are a united nation and bigger then Europe in its size (if I’m not mistaken). I think a lot of Europeans do not know good Americans, they just assume they are arrogant just because they think they are. I don’t think Americans are arrogant at all. I personally love Europe, love its people, have friends from Europe. I visit it once a while. Maybe that’s because I was born there and spent a great amount of my life. I came to America and love it as much if not more then Europe. Everyone seems to put their political agendas before they even get to know the person. I hate European politics, I think they are full of , but that doesn’t stop me from talking to my friends and calling them stupid. The US lives a different type of life, its more different then that of Europeans, but that doesn’t mean its wrong. I hope anyone can seem to understand what I’m trying to deliver. |

...that's probably one of the very few points where I agree with Erotic Buddha. Oh, and I think that part of the reason why someone in Denmark can flap their gums off without worry is because that deep inside they know - should some go down, the good ole' Uncle Sam will be the first on the scene, chewin' and spittin' terbacky, with a big ker of a gun, ready to get some payback, kick some towel-wearin' ass and spread some much needed democracy, freedom and the American way (along with few little Halliburton branches) across the world.
can ya dig it, ya speedo wearin' freaks? :D

It's envy. We have everything. Everything good comes from here. All the movies they watch, the good tv (not thier local crap programming), all the good music (except trance), all the inventions in their house (TV, phone, light bulb, car, microwave)
Then they like to call Americans stupid and lazy when we work longer than any European country. We don't take 2 month vacations and close everything down at 4pm.
If Americans are so stupid then what the hell so great is coming out of Finland? Netherlands? Poland? Germany? Switzerland?
Get over it. Don't be such a hater. |

I have friends all over the world, and guess what, there's plenty of them who come from America, and a lot who don't. I'd rather judge people on who they are rather than where they are. Sure America has a lot of stupid people, it's a big place, but there's stupid people everywhere. Sadly a lot like you will stir & have a totally mis-understood view of us, hell I've seen English people on american tv. do you think we all speak like that. |

i think most americans are pretty ignorant, not just of the rest of the world, but of knowledge in general. i see glimpses of it everywhere. that ignorance combined with the egocentric opinion most americans carry, makes me dislike the general american population. |
so what does that say about yourself? are you an elite amongst the rest of us ignorant sheep? all this americans are mostly ignorant crap is just bull and you sound nothing more than a guilt-ridden leftist who's ashamed of being an american
this country has 200 million people, our entertainment industry in the form of television shows, movies music dominate the world's perception of what an American is which is which are NOTHING more than STEREOTYPES which people around the world so quickly and gleefully LOVE to generalize all americans that way |

Kill it with logic and reason I guess. I don't know why they aren't just locked. Don't look now but another winner is in the making and will probably head this way:
