...How is this reflective of the country?

Second, you do realize that once Texas is mentioned, everything concerning America matters no longer and you treat Texas as if it was a country itself?

And nothing like that doesn't go on in other parts of the world hmm? I wonder why the anti-american BBC doesn't report on their own problems.. OH YEAH THAT'S RIGHT.. It's much easier to focus attention on to another country. :rolleyes:

Maybe write another story about how the chavs are mucking up the malls lmmfao.

Every one always complains about making sweeping generalizations about groups, and then suddenly it's all Americans are like this

Then an American comes on and says, no, all Texans are like this.

Yes, Texas is full of criminals who randomly go around setting things on fire, and being stupid by trying to committ insurance fraud.

And we all sleep with our cousins, we all work on ranches and ride bulls and are homophobes.

*walks out insulted*

Texans are okay in my book. :)

It's incredibly stupid, but I don't think it's neccessarily reflective of American society.

It isn't by a long shot. It does however remind me of an old Simpsons episode where Homer steals Moe's car for the insurance money. :D

Americans these days are FAT!

The things they teach in schools these days...

What? Texas? I...I thought you were out with your parents!

I...no...no baby no! Don't leave me! I'll be a better man I propise!

Noooooo....*sob*

Too right. :)

How does that relate to the posted link about a stupid arson by two teenagers in Texas?

...It reported on something which happened in the USA, and a forum poster was the one who said it was typical of all Americans...

I'm sorry if the BBC doesn't say 'And in world news - America is a perfect country as always, and we heartily agree that we should bow down and submit to the master race of Americans", but I somehow don't think that reporting on an amusing incident in the US makes it Anti American.

lol

ding ding ding ding - humour alert - ding ding ding ding

Mine too.

Americans these days are FAT!

The rest of the first world are catching up fast.

The things they teach in schools these days...

I guess if they are not teaching arson like in this case it's how to sleep with your teacher.
:D

I suggest we roast useless Americans and feed them to hungry children in Africa.

Damn media! Boys hadn't had a single problem with sex education for 30 years till that came along!

I chuckled when I read that.

But what defines useless? :D

Liverbreath']Damn media! Boys hadn't had a single problem with sex education for 30 years till that came along!

How come I didn't have those types of teachers when I had sex education. :D

*hides from gf* :(

But what defines useless? :D
People that don't contribute anything to society.

hmmm that could work. *starts thinking about slacker co-workers*

You see there lies the problem. You didn't realize that the gym instructor teaching sex ed was a ruse. The education came from the English teacher down the hall! Now you know why we spell so bad.

LOL. I wouldn't have wanted the female gym teacher in my school. She was nice but to old for my tastes. Sex education was done by our health class instructor. I was never so bored in my life. Yes that would explain the spelling.

My sex ed teacher got fired. He used to use me as a demonstration. He never actually touched but he always pointed which was really embarassing. I got him fired when I complained to the principal. I feel bad for doing that now.

You guys had your teacher do it? We had some health care people, and a doctor come.

I didn't eat lunch that entire week because they felt it necessary to show a man exploded lymph node like every day.

urgh

I got a piece of candy for knowing that a virus isn't technically alive :D

Americans these days are FAT!
First off, I must apolgize to everybody.
Second of all...
YO MAMMA!
There I said it. Im done.
...
...
...
No Im not.

Anybody who thinks this article reflects Americans in general needs to take a look at Europe in general. Specificaly this place called the Ukraine, or perhaps the Balkans? Yeah, that little bit just north of Greece that everybody likes to pretend doesnt exist.
Do ALL Europeans try constantly to blow each other up, commit genocide, and all that?
No. Well, yes, they all did, at one point or another throughout their history. But whos nation HASNT attempted genocide at some point? Aside from all those nations that had people trying to commit genocide against them.
The basic point is, a 17 and 18 year old do no t represent America, or even Texas, in general. Dont act like they do. It makes you look stupid.

Things sure have changed. Some of my fondest memories were of getting out of Health/Sex Ed and going to English for extra credit. Now they put em in jail for making a lasting impression!

Congrats on the candy though!

If I was the rest of the world I'd be jealous of America too.

But seriously... I am ashamed of the majority of the people in this country- specifically the ones that have turned it into the proverbial Jesus Ranch that it is today. It pisses the hell out of me. Socially, the vast majority of Americans are fat, stupid, and wholly uncivilized. Economically, business practices are corrupt and indecent, wholly oppressive and repulsive. I hate most of the country, but the fact is, most of it is a rural buttcrack. The cities aren't so bad, even with crime (which isn't rampant as people believe, but isolated in certain slums), and that's where most of the brighter minds are. So in truth, there is hope, but not too much of it. Hopefully we can turn things around. I would like a change, in fact a great number of them, but we don't what we want... :headbang:

Jealous of capitalism, har har har.

The reason I edited it was because I originally inteded to piss some people off, but thought better of it. Don't stoop to simply humiliating and enraging people, we don't get nowhere like that.

And what does this teach us boys and girls? Don't get caught.
1. Don't buy a new car before the old car is stolen
2. Make sure the boys have papers on file to justify the new grades
3. Never leave a paper trail! This includes phone calls
4. Make sure the kids you hire are smart enough to burn the car at least 3 counties over from their homes and leave no forensic evidence behind
5. Alabi, alabi, alabi

:D

I doubt you would piss anyone off. As soon as people read stuff that generalize the way that did, they dismiss it. No big deal other than you appear to have some anger built up that you don't know how to deal with.

Agreed.

Whatever happened to sleeping with a teacher to get a good grade? *Sighs, and shakes head* My generation is so violent.

[NS]Liverbreath:
Perfect logic, I have anger I don't know how to deal with because I don't post offensive things on this thread, whereas you are essentially provoking me... so please don't. Try to be a bigger person. You don't win anything by showing you are smarter or wittier. You really don't.

Hire some kind of wizard to summon a portal to the underworld next to your car, this gets rid of the rustbucket AND gives a demon a quick way to get to work.
I tell you, the commute from Hell to Earth is freakin' HELL.

What?!? I don't get my toaster oven. I feel so....used..... :D

BAH! The BBC is biased. They always seem to overlook when people in the UK do really stupid things. I sure as heck don't remember anything in the BBC when those two people in London burned themselves filming a lightsaber battle a few weeks ago.
