Americans complaining about people who complain about them
<start venting>
Okay y'all yanks who love to complain about people complaining about Bush, USA foreign policy, etc, etc, etc. SHUT. UP. ALREADY. We don't get to vote in your elections, yet we are ruled by the U.S economic and military empire. You elected a president, and Congress, and you volunteered to be in your Army, yet we have no say in anything you do, even though we have to deal with the direct consequences of your actions. We are the undemocratic part of your new world order. When the U.S farts, we smell it, and damn it, that gives us the right to complain about the stench. We DO get to whine about it, and we should be under no obligation to pitch in just because you order us to. We have no say in your government, but you want to tell us what to do...well damn it, give us the vote then if you want to extend your affairs internationally to such an extent. Quit complaining that the world expects you to do something about places like Darfur...we are all well aware that the U.S intervenes only when it's in their own interests...so stop acting like you give a rat's ass about the rest of the world. Your big army goes where YOU tell it to, and as much as we would prefer otherwise, that's how it is. Take responsibility for your actions...whatever we say, you'll do as you wish. If you want to stop hearing our opinions, then either take over the world and install the kind of dictatorship you actually crave (complete U.S world domination) or get the hell back to your own country and stop crying like a prima dona who's audience didn't applaud loud enough. <venting to be continued>

Ah ,
I reckon its a pretty safe bet that the Americans that complain at non-americans for complaining about Americans are just pissed at themselves for not taking a leave from the US government and just plain ignoring all foreign criticism.
Lets be honest, you know complaining about it isnt gonna change one damn thing, instead of these Americans moaning about your moaning, shouldnt they really be laughing at your impotence?
Hey, impotence is NO laughing matter! It's a million dollar industry!
I agree...the U.S is always on about how it doesn't care what the world thinks, but then it sulks constantly about not being 'loved' the way it thinks it should.
Here's a tissue. Now shut up.

Y see the "sulking" of some americans is just like the whining of non americans, its an exercise in masturbation that changes nothing and acheives nothing beyond any feeling of having "vented". The US will not alter its actions based on whinging by foreigners, those foreigners are kinda unlikely to stop resenting the US power that their own nations do not have and are thus unlikely to quit whining..
And on the subject of futile whining....

It appears to be a primitive form of poetry, lets be silent on the subject and see what other stanzas the young man puts forth for our entertainment

I'm sorry, that wasn't directed at you...it was directed at the nebulous 'they' who complain about complaining. The way I see it (and yes I know I'm contradicting myself here) is either we all get to whine in equal portions, or we all shut up.
As for the benefit of futile whining...I think it's a bit theraputic, as long as it isn't taken to extremes. I mean, if you whine about your job a bit, you often feel a bit better about the situation, because you get to sound how silly your complaints really are, rather than internalising them into a dark mantra of hatred. Isn't the freedom of speech really the freedom to whine? We get to whine, feel like we've done something, and go back to bed. Actually exercising our democractic powers (or if we have none, acting clandestinely) is much more effort, and strenuous. :D However, one's person's whine is another person's argument...a lot of what get's called 'whining' around here is talking about anything another person doesn't agree with.
This just started as a thread about the thread, and so it shall end:) All in good humour....

Now you've got it! And a one, two, whine, whine, three, four, bitch, bitch.

Yes, although possibly one less level of whinyness, but the same level of bitchingness.

To do what exactly?? Try standing up in Congress and slanting Bush..do you think you could??????? I think your quite repressed calling someone else pinko! Could this be your desire coming true?
I think I have every right to complain about the American government. In general I like the American people. Sure you get the odd pr&"k but that occurs every where. If someone came in to your house, tied up your family at gun point there is very little you could do, but you still could complain???

Another humorous thing is for Europeans to condemn the US and it's actions, while they screwed up the world more then we could ever hope to do. Let's see: America 200+ years as a nation, Europe 2000+ years as civilizations.

Speak for yourself. I've seen Canadian nationalism grow from just that, 'anti-Americanism' to be much more greatly defined as national character. And I'm not talking beer commercials, here.
Something happened, not just one switch got pulled, but a whole series of them, and now we have, almost embarrassingly (and for Canadians, how fitting) had a sense of nationalism emerge in the last ten years.
Most people would claim to hate the man, but I'll credit the last glowing ember of the Trudeau era, Jean Chretien, for setting the stage for this nascent sense of nationalism that is, and has been, pervading our country increasingly for some time now.
Defining yourself by what you aren't is too easy a trap to fall into. Defining ourselves by who and what we are is infinitely more difficult, but well worth it. And we have a long way to go.

I dont doubt it but remember, and I dont know why americans cant grasp this. If the people of a country dont want you in der country they will expell you. Remember canada is bigger than IRAQ + nam and has much more areas to hide + attack your troops.
The usa would probably over run canada in a couple of weeks, you would never really win though if no one here wanted you in the country, not unlike nam or iraq, it would just keep going and going.

Yeah, that's just blatantly silly.
What the people want to know is - if you are wearing socks with sandals does this mean you dont wear socks with shoes?

What's 1C... about 35 Fahrenheit?
hell, that's nothing. hehe
after basketball practice in high school, we'd walk out to our cars in our shorts and practice jerseys ... January temps in NoWisc are usually right around 0 F.
Walking to your car is nothing when you compare to us that wear shorts all day when it's 1C, not just to do sport.

Of course not...THAT'S JUST WEIRD! :D
How did this turn into a comparison of stupid U.S and Canuk 'fashions'?

Fucking American government. YOU Americans don't reallise that when your gvt sanctions a war, they don not comply with the just war rule, and ALWAYS drag us (the UK) into it because "they saved us in WW2," yet they didn't give any help when we faced the Exocet threat from the Argentinians when they invaded the Fauklands!! :sniper: :mp5: :gundge:

I guess you don't know who told you where the Argentinian Navy was so you could sink a ship with 1400 men on it without warning.
Or who refueled your ships and aircraft on their voyage there (including mid-air refuelling of your long range aircraft).
The UK didn't have to join in the Iraq war. You were put there by the greatest Tory PM the UK has ever had (I know he's Labour, but you wouldn't be able to tell now, could you?).
And we did save you in WW II. There's no way around that.
Lets be honest it was kind of a funny thread anyway.
I'm not debating that obvious fact:). I just think it's so strange how threads meander off into unpredictable topics...much like real conversations over coffee and bagels can....bagels are wonderful, don't you think? I love the ones with sundried tomatoes baked in, and mounds of cream cheese....
sorry, where were we?

I'm a bagel purist, although I do expect onions in my bialys.
Bagels were meant to be served toasted, sliced, with lettuce, sliced tomato, cream cheese (PLAIN!), and sliced nova.
Anything else is blasphemy!

The US navy met the royal navys obligations to NATO whilest the taskforce was assembled and redeployed to the south atlantic, additionally the royal navy was able to use the US naval facility on the azores for refuelling and resupply., not forgetting of course the US made and supplied Sidewinder missles that enabled the sea harriers to down a great many argentinian fighters before they could attack the task force.
Its pretty much an open secret that The US was neutral - but- rooting-for-the-UK during the falklands conflict.

I assume you're joking. Because if you're not, well, you're sadly mistaken.
