Why are you so obsessed with America's World Affairs? Due to America's World Affairs - this has lead to most of the middle east into hating america with a passion and most of europe think the good old USA are arrogant!!

Maybe, just maybe if the US would work on its on country first it would make things a bit better for its own people.
Something The King doesnt understand, hes indeed totally obsessed with so called world power. That god knows what amount of people live in poverty doesnt matter....war is what counts.
He is a total idiot and people like him make America one of the most hated countries in the world.
I forgot who wrote this but i feel free to quote him:
Unlike many other countries in the developed world, where it is almost traditional to travel internationally soon after graduation, most americans will never stray outside their own borders; so they get no real firsthand experience of what the rest of the world is like, and can only form opinions based on what they were taught in school (not much) and what they see on TV (typically biased).
You pledge allegience to the flag every morning in school; proceed to learn about Christopher Columbus, George Washington, Paul Revere, Lewis and Clark, Slavery, the US Civil War, how approxiately a dozen Americans defeated the entire English army, then Hitlers army. And that about sums up all the world history you'll get, at least until college (university), if you attend.
Those with more worldly experience may have visited the 3rd world country below them, Mexico, or (what they consider) the 51st State above them, Canada. Some may consider Hawaii an international destination.
I would guess less than 1% of Americans have gone any further.
I have met a scary number of adults here who think that England is still ruled by the Queen and that the USA is the only country with 'Freedom' or 'Democracy' or toilet paper. They do try to give you that impression.
Call it patriotism or propaganda, but this country is more fanatically in love with itself than any other. It really puts itself on a pedastool. Flags on everything. Declarations of 'Land of the Free, Home of the Brave', 'These Colors Don't Run', and other silly solgans on billboards. Businesses even whore out 911 in radio commercials, using patriotism to push product. Politicans compete with eachother on how many times they can incorporate the phrase 'Greatest Nation On Earth' into their speeches. It would border on bizarre if you weren't so used to it.
So of course, with all that around them, a lot of people believe it.
But all the flag-waving and rhetoric would be no more than annoying, if not for the fact that it is blinding the population to abuses of power. America is not a facist regime Yet. I don't know that it ever could be. But they are certainly putting the tools in place to make that a possibility. And that's far more significant than the particular individual who happens to take office.

You are obessed with the USA because it is a very important country in the scheme of world affairs...and...well...your country in the scheme of world affairs...on a scale of 1 to 10...ahh...rates zero.
Do people that live in another countries scare you? You come across very insecure. Dont try to hide behind a flag. Become a worldcitizen.

Hmm...maybe because I am American. Hate America...love America...I don't care...but do not fuck with America. One of our early Flags said "Do not tread on me"...and it is still applicable. FYI...all REAL Americans are arrogant and legitimately so.
When you're running down my country hoss...you're walking on the fighting side of me!

If you wouldve been born in Holland for example your freedom would be taken for granted, not a right. You wouldnt brag about it, you wouldnt be arrogant about it, you would simply enjoy it.

in most countries arrogance is not a trait to be proud of.

You are a fucked up person dude.

Errrm sorry to break up your own little fantasy here mate, most americans I've met have been great people, even been to the states a few times and met a lot of good people out there and I'm very happy to say I've not found many of them to be arrogant!
Originally posted by Battuss Now, i dont really give a shit where i live. I happen to be born in Holland so i live here, im not proud of it BUT i can tell you one thing and that is that this little country is in so fucking many ways better than the US.
People here make more, politics are better, medical insurance is better, way less poverty, no war with other countries, we are safer, less murders, less criminality in general, we have better food, etc etc. and what you Americans find oh so important and scream and yell with every oppertunity you can find, we ARE the land of the free. America isnt, its not even close to being the land of the free. Its something you will never understand since most of you have no clue about the rest of the world.
Thank you for showing your ignorance again, i didnt expect anything better from the average American.
I have been to your beautiful country... it's nice, but I'll take the US anyday.
A lot of what you say is true, but what have you "done"? We flew a jet at 5000 miles an hour using air for fuel the other day.
About all any American has to do is spend a couple weeks in another country to really start appreciating America.
THE BEST CONVERTING TGP If I were only going to submit to one TGP, it would be BOOK-MARK.NET.

New Amsterdam, 1624.
Those little Dutch people did have a significant impact on the creation of the US, just like most of Europe.
I am always amused when Americans say "without us you would be speaking German". If it wasn't for Europe there would be no United States at all.

Im not gonna discuss with you anymore DUDE since youre gonna critisize my usage of words instead of discussing the topic. Ive pretty much said what i wanted to say anyway.
How does it feel that a 27 yr old kid from another country is smarter than you?

Mate I trained with some of your forces in germany, even spent a few months with the 75th Airborne Rangers down at wiengarten, germany doing escape and evasion techiniques. All of them loved their country and quite rightly so but they weren't big headed or arrogant about their country.

Who are you calling "REAL Americans"?
I was born in Argentina, which makes part of the "Real" America, the continent.
Second, are you a northamerican indian or you're, like many of us, just son or grandson of EUROPEAN immigrants?
I think most people calling themselves king would be placed in the looneyhouse.
LOL, you haven't been around long enough to know the half of it. He used to call himself Pathfinder. Then he pretended that Pathfinder died, and he posted here as pathfinder's son.

I assume that you did not say anything derogatory about their country. Rangers are particulary arrogant and rightfully so. I have trained with Aussies and they are good soldiers and the SAS is among the very best in the World.
