Sorry, but I think you're just asking for ppl to get sick of the US if everyone carries out this sort of opinion.
If you wouldn't think you're the best, you wouldn't be so hurt when ppl make a little joke about your country eh? :D
Anyway..we all come from Africa anyhow :) Africa RULES ;) |

me? what did I do? :)
I'd like it if you stopped generealizing aswell tiesto14 :)
From what I've seen on TV, in movies, on these boards and stories I've heard I got the feeling I didn't like US citizens much, mainly because of the superiority complex many of them seem to have......thenagain....how could I judge a country with over 250 billion ppl to be all the same? It's not like all Dutch smoke weed or refuse to treat other ppl every now and then ;)
And some US TAs are very cool ppl with whom you can have an intelligent convo without the "I am PROUD of the US" feeling bumping up all the time :)
Tiesto, I can see how this might hurt you, but I don't think starting a defensive thread about it helps! You could have just asked ppl what they thought of the US and WHY they feel that way!! In that case there's something you could do about it, and it would've been so much easier for "us" to adjust our point of view wouldn't it? :)
Or am I completely wrong here ;) |

there already was an opinion about the US thread and it didnt help. All that was said was that people didnt like our superior attitude. Now its getting to the point that we should have public ing transportation?
Europeans should have a better communications system, a less corrupt populace, a less corrupt police force, a less corrupt government. Europeans should quit sitting on the fence until its clear who will win and then bash the losers. Europeans need to get out of Americas '80s. Europeans need to quit trying to make themselves look better bashing America. Europeans think they are so frigging "with it" that they can sit back and bash America like the rest of the ing world. ENOUGH. Every country has problems. You guys look to US every time. Thats EXACTLY why we feel superior. No one bitches about Englands loss of economic motivation. No one bitches about the availability of cars in spain. No one bitches about anything other than the US because all eyes are drawn to it for some reason. Take an introspective look like we have to every day because we are under constant barrage and see how great your country is in all of the things you talk about America. Our transportation sucks? My family has 13 cars. Id say we are doing well in that department. Our pollution and filth? London and Rome! If people are going to be addressing such global issues as transportatin, pollution, diet, and other things, look at the WHOLE WORLD, instead of pickin the big dog and going after it like a bunch of jackals. |

well when its an on going thing...and as u can see you i am not alone in this...i feel that SOMEONE had to say something....
THERE IS NEVER...and i mean NEVER any threads on putting down or disrespecting Holland or Germany or England or any other country for that matter...its ALWAYS America that is put down here....so one looking in on this would ASSUME that Europeans TAs are rude arrogant pompous people who have ZERO respect for their fellow American TAs....
if Americans are so rude and whatever else u may think...why is that there is never an American TA attacking any European country,,,,maybe because we have respect for you guys... |

LoL Orbax :D
You're taking things out of its context :)
In response to your post: I think it's easier for us to find defectives in the American System (way of life) because we see American things around us EVERYWHERE....however...how can you say such ignorant things about Europe if you don't even know what Europe is...where it is....what it is about..etc.....ask US citizen where Holland is....and 9 out 0f 10 think it's a city in Massachusets ight? :)
So no false judgements if you don't know where you're talking about....as for European judgements.....I dunno whether they're true or flase or ignorant or whatever....
I just feel EVERY country has stupid, smart, rich, poor, fat, thin, large, small, young, old etc etc PEOPLE!! So does this forum :p
Now.....I don't think this thread proves its use, rather than you Americans trying to get back at the people that hurt your feelings right?
So time to close....or start a rational discussion? :) |

I thought I made an excellent point and you proved it masterfully for me.

bing!
How many people have lived in the United states for more than 20 years? raise your hands! Anyone else? mmm just like I thought. Ok now out of those people who raised their hands, how many are bashing America? NONE?! how can this be? So wait. that means the only people criticising it are people who have...No ing clue about what they are talking about?
*Speaking in announcer voice* I think we hit a bullseye with that one, Bob.
See? this has been very contructive, and INstructive. You have all learned the valuable lesson of spectators cant be commentators.
