USA doesn't mind its own fucking business internationally and projects its power - politically, financially and militarily - unnecessarily, unwantedly, and very often hypocritically, into the affairs of countries far, far away from the US. If it minded its own business and stuck to fair principles of global capitalism and toned down the unnecessary violence and economic imperialism/rape then the world wouldn't be half as concerned as it is with the US.
Think the USSR. The world used to fear them projecting their power unwantedly across the globe. The world now fears the US in this regard, especially since the counter balance is gone. When the US fades into obscurity we'll begin to fear China I'm sure (circa 30 years from now).
I hope this answers your question. I don't think there are any double standards in there but check for yourself...

I'm into 'all things US' primarily for NASCAR and Politics. Racing here is F1, which is fine! But NASCAR is just so much more exciting! Also, UK politics really suck - whereas US politics do not.
That's why I am into America.
That's why I am into America.
Kyle how the hell is racing round an oval circuit better than F1 ?
Watch motogp its better than both of them.

Nah nah you've got it all wrong, the Red Bull Air Race people.

Everybody is on our jock cause we are number one! They want to emulate what America has. . . . America has the mojo now, and Europe is stuck cause they arent the "big nuts on the block" like they used to be!!!
USA has its faults just like any other country, but we are scrutinized more due to the fact that we can project our will on anyone, anytime, anywhere (economically, militarily etc.)!! That scares people, yet they dont realize that America is Europe's friend! We are a humble country for the most part, its the scattered few people that give the USA a bad name globally. . . . .
The bottom line is Europe is jealous cause we took their title as number one. . . .nothing personal guys, its just your soft now due to over political correctness, and your inability to make decisive decisions in regards to politics, economics and military force "when needed". . . .America doesnt have that problem!

USA politics are very very fun just by the fact that they have a moron as a president
I almost decided to add something positive or intriguing to this thread, but decided also, that it wasn't worth the effort required to put it forth. For that matter, I just wasted energy on this.

Unfortunatly, Europe cant get over the truth of the matter/situation. So they bash us CONSTANTLY and act like children bitching and moaning about what the USA does all the time. It grows tiresome. . . . .I am not saying we are the greatest fuckers alive, I am just saying we take care of our shit, are successful, and have a workable/liveable way of life. That way of life is envy'd by some people/countries. . . .

I find it humbling that you would copy a tactic of mine - I assume you got the idea from the thread I created replacing the word 'Iran' with the word 'USA' in the thread StingRay24 created about regime change in Iran...

It's because some people simply don't get the message. I'm sorry, but that post quoted is nothing more than a 'America is the best!' piece of drivel.

The US is the biggest because they just happen to be the biggest western nation. There you go, case closed. On the individual level, Americans actually have relatively low literacy, social care and quality of life compaired to many European nations.Spark wrote:

It's not so much concern as outright disbelief. With so much going for you why is it the US and it's government are a laughing stock. Your people are considered fat and stupid and your government incompetent and aggressive. Europe on the other hand is admired worldwide in pretty much every respect. You have a long way to go.Hunter/Jumper wrote:

Saying that though we shouldn't expect too much from such a young nation. You'll learn, just like Europe did.
Europeans are still mad at the U.S. for intervening in WWII , they all wanted to have a common language [ german] and central government run by Hitler . I agree we can learn form Europe many things like when a third world country is in need of aid after a natural disaster not to do anything and to sell nuclear reactors to anyone .
