Miller: IT'S MILLER TIME!; +271|6997|United States of America

Started on here turns into a bash America thread? Even asking something as simple as which American Football team you support turns into a bash fest for everyone outside the US. It gets to me that everyone hates us so much for having our own ideals, ideas, our own style.

So, why is it all you pusses can do is bash the USA? Please, just give opinions on it, don't start bashing again just because we have it better than you.

Because America is responsible for all the world's ills.

What the hell is it with people who just don't understand the very concept of written sarcasm? I would've thought my track record of conservatives posts and opinions here would've especially given this away.

sadly I've found that you can't really know what your forum persona is. While I took it exactly as that, not everyone reads where you post such things. I have no clue what I come across as in a general sense, so in instances like that, the pathetically obvious /sarcasm tag is helpful.

That being said, I think the anti-american sentiment has its' roots in teh same logic as the anti-intel sentiment, anti-microsoft sentiment, or anti-anything widely accepted and successful sentiment.

Everyone bashes America for the same reasons they bash any group of people, just so they can blame their own problems on someone else, or just for fun. I'm English and sure we bash America all the time but it's all in good fun, taking the piss of foreigners is like a British hobby. Sure the American (and British) :-( goverment is responsible for lots of bad shit but what government isn't? You can't realistically blame the whole population for that.

P.S. durka durka Amerika

Does anyone give a crap? If they're bashing America than you shouldn't give a shit, but by saying that we have it better than everyone else and crying about being bashed, you're starting to sound like freakin Nazi's talking about their position in Europe in the 1930's.

Caring about it will just get you more bashing, until someone pulls a fist or a gun

Its not because you have your own 'ideals, ideas, our own style'. Its because unlike everyone else in the world, your 'ideals, ideas, our own style' messes the fuck up with everyone else in the world.

You know, FUCK OFF.

They have no clue how the world would be if we didnt win WWII and the Cold War! I wonder how life would be, if communist Russia and China were joined at the hip, making the worlds decisions!

Advice for Europeans: If were such assholes, DONT VACATION HERE!! DONT WORK HERE!!!

Believe me, my next vacation is in Australia or England!!! I wouldnt waste a hard earned dollar in France or Germany!

A large part of the world wide resentment for America comes from its young age.
European societal history, 25000 years and counting and most countries over there hold as much sway as Idaho, or Montana, on the world stage. You think I'm kidding? The state with the highest rate of gazzionaires is Montana. That’s where Dick Cheney comes from, and as far as some are concerned he runs America.
America in about 236 years, has amassed wealth, enjoyed a society relatively free of tyranny, and become a dominant power. That’s why they hate us.

Minor nitpick here but BF2 was made in Sweden.

EDIT:

On topic, I think even most Americans will agree that we are largely an arrogant and self absorbed people. Doesn't really surprise me at all that a lot of people hate us so bad. Hell, I hate plenty of Americans myself but there is still nowhere I'd rather be.

This thread is done. It's easy to see why America bashing comes so easily when a good majority of them decide to show off their general lack of intelligence in the forums, and are so quick to fire up a flame war (the vast majority of the flames in this forum, whether intentional or not, are started by Americans).

Of course, there are several exceptions to the rule here, but in general, that's the truth. We are also a really large country with several different lines of political and economic thought, and it really comes down to whoever decides that they think they know enough about a topic to post their thoughts on it...
