Hehe..

That was the arguement one of the party leaders in this country used when he said we should support the Iraq war :?


9. One of the few nations to have learned both the American standard and the metric system of measurement

Not quite, but yes, most of us use the metric system, and yes, I think its much better :)


8. We turn water into beer, and still get drunk


indeed.


7. We have a hat (Canada) and a huge **** (Baja California)


yep


6. Burned down the British capitol in Canada, helped the Allies chase out
the Germans in WW1 and WW2, keep the Iron Curtain from going farther into Europe, and still acts modest with it;s military

yes mostly.

5. We can forcefully take any nation we wish, and no one else would have the balls to stop us


Lets see you take china without making it a nuclear wasteland and totally unlivable first.

4. Is the nation that created the concept of "Total War!" (destroying everything that aides your enemey....EVERYTHING)

The germans did that to an extent in WW2

3. Our leaders are cowboys, movie-stars, wrestling referres (sp), oh...and politicians too

And just as shit as the rest of the worlds leaders :P

2. Only nation that KNOWS what a good movie is


Seen a New Zealand made movie lately?


1. We may have the fattest, dumbest, and most biased people in the world. But the rest of the world (Canada, Britain, France...) still depends on us for their own survival

not really, but you are still fat dumb and biased...



Pretty close overall :P

Bloody yanks. Think your so damned awesome. Half the shit you said wasn't true and I could name about 30 reasons to go Aussie. But I cant be screwed arguing with dumbasses, especially foreign ones so I'm just going to leave it here. Also, what Monkeypimp wrote was fuckn oath.

6. Burned down the British capitol in Canada

Well that never happened.. so... *shrug*

James Bond is ours. Ha.

But on the rest I probably agree, funny isn't it that one of the most hated nations in the world that so many people insult, yet they still have to trade and suck up to it for their survival. Also quite funny how people say the USA has got things wrong, and that the ultra-christian nation is in the wrong, when they are the most powerful and richest nation in the world.

Well, in fairness the Americans weren't always viewed in the way they are today. In the past the world agreed with if not all, most actions taken by them. It wasn't until after 9/11 that the American government went mad.. will that end with Bush being thrown out of office? I don't know, but I think so... worse case he gets elected and the world is stuck with him for 4 more years... but there is no promise things will get better even after he's out. I think as long as the Hawks are gone.. some sanity will return to the United States. At least I hope.

at least im English an proud of it altho amricians are a bastion of world (dis)order

Hmm, they did vote him in though. I support Bush in most things so it is hard not to be biased in this comment, but I think Bush does represent the views of America en-masse because, he was voted in, post-September 11 the American people wanted something done about terrorism, and the Republican party does seem to be very popular in the right-wing, corporate, evangelical states of America.

Well not really.. I mean less then 50% of the 50% of the people of the USA voted for him. They have an interesting elections process..lol He lost the popular vote, in other words more people voted for the "other" guy. I totally agree America had the right to go after Al Qaeda.. but that's about it. They had a right to defend themselves against the people who attacked them, no more, no less.

Iraq??? That was thrown in for the Hawks.. had nothing to do with the war on terror, in fact by invading Iraq they've made it worse, not better. I think the world stopped and went *BLINK* the day that happened.. we all now realize just how dangerous the Americans could be to any of us if they decided they didn't like the way we run our governments.. it was a rude awakening.. it was the day the world seems to have woken up. More to come I suspect.

You see..that is the linchpin....Americans wanted PAYBACK after 9/11, hit someone..find who did it....and destroy them utterly..we're that type of people..you don't step on Superman's cape so to speak..Now...the world was fine with our invasion of Afghanistan..you had a bonafide terrorist-supporting nation that was allowing a terrorist group to operate from within it's borders...it was clear cut...and the goal was considered worthy by the World to allow us in there to take care of business.

But Iraq..Americans by and by considered Saddam a bad man, to many taking him out is a just thing..you'll just never convince some of us that allowing him to remain in power would have been a good thing. To some of us there are some things that are just black and white...and this was one of them...frankly I could care less bout WoMD's that's only one of many reasons why he should have been removed..Europe thought the mass graves of Bosnian muslims was enough reason to move on the Serbs but mass graves of Iraqis aren't enough for us to move against Saddam?

Who is "they?" The division between Bush and Gore was for all practical purposes 50%. Reguardless of the results of the election, Bush only represents those who voted for him. Assigning political views onto Americans "en-masse" disreguards the fact that nearly 50% of the nation didn't vote for him. Nevermind the people who couldn't vote at the time.


...and the Republican party does seem to be very popular in the right-wing, corporate, evangelical states of America.


Why is it that corporations are automatically associated with the right? The Democrats take the same in corporate support as any good Republican:

http://www.opensecrets.org/bigpicture/topcontribs.asp?Cycle=2000&Bkdn=DemRepThe Republicans are far more pro-big business when it comes to legislation. Look at the people who run departments under Bush--most of them have ties to the very industries they're supposed to be regulating. And the Republicans have given them far more of a seat at the table when it comes to new legislation and regulation than the Democrats ever have.

6. ..."helped the Allies chase out the Germans in WW1 and WW2..."

I don't know how many Americans know this but WW1 started in 1914 and WW2 started in 1939....weren't the American's late for the start of both? its ok when you've got the odd year or two, to build up your Army and spend more on defence as opposed to having your main ally (France) bail on you.

And the Americans were part of the Allies

You see..that is the linchpin....Americans wanted PAYBACK after 9/11, hit someone..find who did it....and destroy them utterly..we're that type of people..you don't step on Superman's cape so to speak..Now...the world was fine with our invasion of Afghanistan..you had a bonafide terrorist-supporting nation that was allowing a terrorist group to operate from within it's borders...it was clear cut...and the goal was considered worthy by the World to allow us in there to take care of business.

Yeah, but there was huge difference.. Active genocide was being committed there, not in Iraq, hell Saddam hadn't gassed the Kurds since the 80's. He was justified in stopping out the Shia uprising in 1991, what do you think Bush would do if a group of people tried to bring down the American government? I don't think it would be pretty.

The only other time he used WMD on any one was the Iran/Iraq war.. which the Americans gave him the WMD and knew he had used them and was ok with it. Heck, the Americans even VETO'd a resolution back during the Iran/Iraq war that tried to hold Saddam accountable for it.

Iraq posed no threat to America, it might after this.. but it certainly didn't before.

Perhaps. I'll just let the numbers speak for themselves. :wink:

It was still democratic, first past the post, majority, I admit though that some Americans do not support him.
I always seem to associate the right with business because it tends to be, the Democrats tend to treat business as the enemy. Although maybe not as much as some parties in my country.

If 50% (and probably more than 50% now) is only some.


...the Democrats tend to treat business as the enemy.


I wonder why the Democrats get so much money from the "enemy" then.

i think that plainly americans are up their own arse lol. i'd rather live in britan anyday than have to live in america :D britian rules!!

I would say that's not accurate.. the majority voted for the "other" guy.. so more then half of Americans didn't want him for a president... and the Democrats are not anti-business at all. It would seem to me that the Republicans seem to be more interested in the decline of the middle class.. only keeping the rich, rich and the poor, poor.. where as the Democrats seem to want to give every one a chance. They seem to feel that if America has been good to you so that you're a multi-millionaire or billionaire that you should have to give back your fair share. Where if the Republicans had their way, it seems they'd just treat the middle class like a lot of slaves.. that's what I see every day on American news and what I have read... at least at this point in history..

He was justified in stopping out the Shia uprising in 1991, what do you think Bush would do if a group of people tried to bring down the American government? I don't think it would be pretty.


Waco. I think our government already has shown what they'd do to such a group.


The only other time he used WMD on any one was the Iran/Iraq war.. which the Americans gave him the WMD and knew he had used them and was ok with it. Heck, the Americans even VETO'd a resolution back during the Iran/Iraq war that tried to hold Saddam accountable for it.


I've always liked the rational that we know that Saddam has WMD because he hasn't used all the ones we gave him.

I think people tend to look at the Republicans as very extreme, I wouldn't say it is quite like that, in any case most of them will be Middle class, the most upper-class style polititian I have seen on television recently has been Kerry. He comes across as very aristocratic, what do you think?

Yeah, I can't argue that, Kerry needs to really loosen up. But the fact of the matter is Bush comes from more money then Kerry.. Although Kerry certainly wasn't hurting either. They're both rich. Bush just has a way of hiding it better.. I think it's mostly because he's not as smart as Kerry.. as in educated.. Kerry just comes across as more educated and that makes him look more aristocratic then Bush.. but in fact he's not. Bush's family money is older.

Kerry just comes across as more educated and that makes him look more aristocratic then Bush.. but in fact he's not. Bush's family money is older.

From what I hear, Kerry has basically nothing. All "his" money comes from his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry. Which actually makes him an excellent example of a democrat literally in bed with a corporation, seeing as how a happy wife means he keeps "his" money.

Well, I seen Bush's tax return and Kerry's.. believe me Kerry is doing just fine..lol But I was talking more "family money" Kerry grew up as a rich kid.. as did Bush.. when we look at it in that context it's so much easier to respect Kerry for the choices he made in life. Look at the way Bush came up.. like a typical rich kid, ducted out of real service cause his daddy was rich.. went on to party his ass off, drugs, booze, whatever you name it.. owned a baseball team.. Kerry has been serving his country in one way or another from the get go.. hard to argue that even if you don't agree with Kerry's position.. he at least has always served his country.. Bush Jr. certainly can't say any thing close to the same.

You mean served himself..it seems that every time he married he got a richer woman then the one previous..and as far as serving country, yes..yes..we've all heard him playing out his Vietnam experience..I also know he indiscriminately tagged all Vietnam vets as bascially the baby-killers tag we were all slapped with by the anti-war crowd...and as far as serving this country...on every major Defense system that could assist our troops he's voted no...kind of makes you think of his service to this country eh?

I wonder why the Democrats get so much money from the "enemy" then.

That's some what irrelevant to your argument though..

True.

You could say, I suppose, that if money is the only method of deciding if someone is aristocratic then all American politicians are. It being one of the most overpaid jobs in the world. I just think Kerry comes over as 'less modest' than Bush. The hair doesn't help him. :D

The Republican Party is very much in favour of a free market and looking after business in order to look after the consumer, the Deomocrats I thought did it slightly differently and looked after the consumer more at the expense of business.

I also found out through Time magasine that Bush has a vast amount more money in his campaign than Kerry, but that may just be because Kerry had not been absolutely assured of being candidate at that point. It was significantly more though, but I cannot remember the figure.

6. Burned down the British capitol in Canada

Well that never happened.. so... *shrug*

Steph, if you deny something, do you believe it happened your way?

Seems like that's the problem here

well, I'm a proud American. I love my country. I like being able to go outside and go "this government f**king stinks!" or "I hate the president" and not get shot. I like being able to screw who i want when I want, go pretty much anywhere I want, have any job I like. I even like being able to vote some rich guy who doesnt care about me into office, and then vote him out in a few years. I even like the fact that I can have various people hate me for my religious and political views, and wish all sorts of evil on me and my loved ones, but they cant do a thing about my views. However, I hate some of my fellow americans. everytime I hear them go "we got nookz so shut up!" i want to beat them within an inch of their life. I cant stand when they threaten another person for their views, even their hatred of americans and america... its not free speech for Americans, if you're an american you should believe in free speech for everyone, you dont have to agree, but dont start going "americas the best, were gonna nuke you!" and dont bring up wars we had with England hundreds of years ago. The english dont bring it up, why should we? Why do you have to tear on the cultures of other nations...if you dont like them, then just go "I dont really care for that" and leave it there. in other words, if you love to scream and rant about how other nations suck and americas the best and so on and so forth, realize you're making your country and countrymen look like arses, and you're making more enemies than friends. The only thing america should really be fixing is ridding itself of stupidity among its population.
-the crazy karate guy

Well, it's not worth going to America if you like fondling large handfuls of money. American money is like monopoly money; it's crap. Sterling notes are much prettier. In fact, is there any money in the world uglier than American money? I mean, even Liberian money looks nicer. I suppose Americans console themselves by just having ten times as much of it.

I have a 5 dollar bill lying around on my desk. I think I stole it off someone, and I can't remember why. I was inspecting it, though, and it occurred to me one of the reasons perhaps why we don't get as many fundamentalist christians over here in the UK, as there are in the US. American money says "In God We Trust" on it, whereas our ten pound notes have a picture of Darwin on them :)

What is the hell is this topic about at the moment, It went from americas better than the world to republicans vs. democrats and so on up untill now. The subjects here have changed so often its hard to keep track what the whole point is. I think this was supposed to be a joke that turned serious. Lighten up, stop making your nation sound good without support, either keep it comical or prove your god-damn point.

Serious:
Say "I'm american and I kill people who intrude into my house(www.".......".com, 199_).", or "I'm british and our police aren't even allowed to carry guns, let alone shoot people (www.".......".com, 199_).", and lastly, "I'm australien and my country stole millions of dollars worth of guns and ammo from its people and burned them(www.".......".com, 199_)."

OR Comical:
"Germanys the best country, we drink 10 Liters=58.97 gallons(for you americans) of beer per month per person", "Americas better, we drive on the RIGHT side of the road"

Now lets cut the bull shit and establish what this forum is about and on what note it should be(seriouse vs. comical). By the way, america is better for its red neck comedy, you can't argue with that! :lol:

P.S. all this is highly exagerated but true to a degree

6. Burned down the British capitol in Canada

Well that never happened.. so... *shrug*

Steph, if you deny something, do you believe it happened your way?

Seems like that's the problem here

Here, take a short history course, apparently you need one! Canada was not unified, they sacked the town of York..but since Canada wasn't unified, you can't make the claim you're making.

I'm sad to say that I'm deeply disturbed now, yet honored, to be an American! Or I could go further Arizonan, Mesonan, etc., etc.

And yes it's true, in the War of 1812 Canada wasn't united.
