But seriously, everytime I go to US, if it's not NY or SF, I prefer to buy a burger, most commonly food is bad. I guess if you're used to that is not that bad, but I'm not

        What, you have "FOOD" in Argentina? You country is broke and your money worthless.
        Maybe Americans dont care about you foreigners at all. Get over it, you are not important to us.

                The greatest thing to come out of Argentina... besides hot girls, is chimichuri.

                A condiment that would overtake salsa if they sold it here.

                Argentine beef is considered the finest in the world.

                My girlfriend is Argentine/German, and have ate at her fathers many times. Trust me, you would like it. They take grilling to a whole new level.

                            The only three things that you can get from Argentina:
                            1) Woman
                            2) Food
                            3) Fun

                            all the rest sucks

                                I think that the president of the US is a reflectation of the people who live in the US. Last week I saw charlotte church on tv and Georgew e .W. Bush asked her where she lives. She said "In wales" and bush sais "In wich state is that?". What a fool!! haha

                                        A country can be poor, and it doesn't mean they are all starving to death.

                                        Besides a webmaster making US $ is probably living a good life down there.
                                        I'm sure he is making insane money on the exchange and likely pays less tax.

Dr. Phil is not a genius, his advice is the most simple and obvious stuff, but he has achieved god-like status because there are so many stupid people that can't figure out this stuff on their own. Very sad.

                                                                            And yes, we have quite high taxes, I don't like it, but I accept it as I know that I won't die just because I didn't have a fancy insurance or a big savings account...

                                                                            Okay, how do you define a 'Swede'? By the nationality, religion or skin color? The real Americans went minorty ages ago... Americans today are either descended from europe or so, and I guess you have quite alot of immigrants nowadays too, from South America, Asia and so on...

                                                                                                    My best friend is highly skilled at what he does, working on sophisticated electronics. He does it well. He just doesn't know much about geography. Since the US is an enormous country compared to individual European countries, Americans haven't had to be as "international" as the residents of the many small European countries. While this is changing with the expansion of global trade, most Americans still only deal with other Americans in the course of their everyday lives, as opposed to Europeans who regularly deal with neighboring countries that have different cultures.

                                                                                                    I do find it interesting that Europeans have such strong opinions on this, considering that there are many more pressing issues to be concerned about. Perhaps the steady European refrain of "Americans are stupid" is a reflection of their own deep-rooted insecurity. You know -- an inferiority complex.

                                                                                                        The intelligence and success of our ancestors have left subsequent generations fat, lazy, and stupid.

                                                                                                        We are in this position now only due to the efforts of previous generations. You really think that the average 20 year old of today is as smart as the average 20 year old of say 1940? When it comes to such things as literature, art, history, geography? Hell no.

                                                                                                        When you claim superiority, you claim the superiority of your ancestors, not of yourself.

                                                                                                        Watch, this ignorance will reap what it has sown. The ignorant fuckers of today, are the "leaders" of tomorrow.

                                                                                                        Our ancestors busted their asses for nothing. They built a country that allowed you lazy fuckers to sit on your ass, to breed the sort of complacent society that no longer values intelligence.

                                                                                                        You are watching the fall of the Roman Empire. Enjoy it.

I don't know how many times that Americans have embarrassed me with their lack of "worldly knowledge." I personally am attracted to learning about outside cultures and countries, but many Americans are not. They?ve been taught from the early years of their lives to look inward. That is slowly changing.

                                                                                                        You spoke of American forefathers but that?s where this concept came from. The last thing that people wanted to be when they moved here is European or anything else. That was everything that they were leaving behind. That?s why cricket became baseball and why rugby became American Football.

                                                                                                        What I don?t understand is the fact that Europeans and Canadians post here as if their societies are rich with affluence and culture with no faults whatsoever. While us Americans are so called ?mutts? that have no intelligence and culture. To me, they do this so routinely that it?s almost transparent that they have a deep-seeded need to feel superior to Americans. What their reasons may be still eludes me, but I?ve found it to be almost universal. Why would you constantly compare yourself with people you find so stupid? That was my only point from before.

It's like 1/4 of the entire world, you could point at any random spot on a world map and you would probably have about a 25% chance of hitting the pacific ocean.

Dr. Phil is not a genius, his advice is the most simple and obvious stuff, but he has achieved god-like status because there are so many stupid people that can't figure out this stuff on their own. Very sad.

BUT - I was VERY shocked to learn yesterday that my husband's great uncle (a man in his mid seventies) doesn't know his roman numerals. Not all of the older generation managed to get a better education then those being educated today. I really was surprised. I figured that roman numerals, like a basic comprehension of world geography, would be something that nearly everyone in the 'civilized world' would posess. The old fucker is an asshole but I never figured him to have THAT extreme sort of basic ignorance. Go figure.
