    Describe the typical American?

    Being an American, sometimes we get so used to our culture that we forget how to describe ourselves. However, whatever we do, our values are hahahahahaded in our assumptions and actions.

    So, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, the first truly American (non independence day) secular holiday, list the key words that comprise american values.

    Let me start with my list:


    Equality before the law
    Respect for the law
    Working smart and working hard
    Ruthless competition
    An eagerness to network to get deals done
    Respect for and eagerness for invention
    Creativity
    Independence


    What is your list?

    Openness to trade and prosperity around the world.
    SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

      Approximately 6' tall, short dark hair. Enjoys long walks on moonlit beaches and romantic dinners for two. Tired of games and ready to settle down. Desires a mate with open and carefree attitudes about life. Age/race not important. No fatties.

                              Americans? Easy.....


                              Most are friendly and great to talk to, great to visit with, great to do business with.

                              Some are pompous and arrogant

                              Many of the women are very good-looking

                              Some are overweight, others are built like Arnie Schwartzenburger

                              Some are always drunk

                              Some are on the atkins diet

                              A few are retarded imbeciles




                              ..... pretty much sums up the people of most counties actually.

                                              You need to find something else to vent your ignorance.

                                                              Or did you mean technical errors like , " america is the worst car maker besides korea " LOL america invented cars and have made some of the best vehicles around. Sure there are some great countries that make excellent cars like "germany" but only after we taught you how to do it. If it wasnt for america you would still be pushing your mom around in a flinstones-mobile.

                                                              My 65' chevy is the best of the best, there still isnt a truck around that can beat it.

                                                              Or your claim of our lack of history art blah blah blah . Just look at the scholastic standards tests and you will be suprised at what you find.


                                                              Or your claim of lack of freedoms. LOL What country are you from that has no knowledge of america. You sound like you get your facts from " the simpsons "

Sure there are some great countries that make excellent cars like "germany" but only after we taught you how to do it. If it wasnt for america you would still be pushing your mom around in a flinstones-mobile.

                                                                              Or your claim of lack of freedoms. LOL What country are you from that has no knowledge of america. You sound like you get your facts from " the simpsons "

                                                                              scholastic standards tests - I am from Czech rep.The true is that 12years old Czech boy has the same knowlidge as 15 years old boy from US.I am not saying this to impress you but this is just a fact.Our system of education is really different and pretty hard (one of the good thingsa left after communists).Thats why so many Czech boys and girls are very good students of US universities.

                                                                              freedom - Czechs had no freedom for more then 40 years under communists presure maybe thats the reason why I can tell you what is the freedom and what is just an illusion

Or just a select few that may have been given extra opportunities? Also, do all children receive education and is it all of the same quality?

                                                                                    I agree italy and germany are great car makers. This doesnt make americans bad car makers or as you put it "pieces of shit" , even though you admit you have only owned 1 american car .

                                                                                    Theres more than one car maker in the usa.

                                                                                    And you still have alot to learn about making trucks.

                                                                                    freedom - Czechs had no freedom for more then 40 years under communists presure maybe thats the reason why I can tell you what is the freedom and what is just an illusion

                                                                                    We arent comparing czech's with americans or we would have alot more sections to cover. ( i.e. infant mortality , life expectancy , poverty rate, etc etc )

                                                                                    Your original points were made about americans , not comparing americans to any certain country.

                                                                                            Also this is another proof of your Big US ego - so you change your oppinion on biz with me just beacuse I am telling you that US cars sucks or something about education?

                                                                                            You never once stated the truth, you just spit out general faceless propoganda that i would only expect from a country so brainwashed in the past.

                                                                                            No ego involved here , i dont do biz with morons who post garbage in a thread for american values. If this thread was named "who is better czech's or americans" that would be different , but it was a HOLIDAY THREAD to state american values not a " another thread to bash americans "

                                                                                            Wake up "czechie" i never claimed america was perfect ( do they teach you to read over there? ", i only pointed out your obvious typical flawed thinking. " blame america for everything because we have nothing "

Trivial facts like the capital of the Ivory Coast mean absolutely nothing to me. And you're right, I don't know it, though I did learn about it 10 years ago. I find no real purpose in remembering something that I'll never need to know. And if I did need to know it, the answer is only 2 clicks away.

                                                                                                    The reason your "boys and girls" do well here is because we only see the ones that you can afford to send over here. If you sent over "average czechs" there prob wouldnt be much difference.
                                                                                                    sure we can't compare Czech and highly developed country like US.Thats for sure.And I am not fighting for "Czech are better".

                                                                                                    And yes you are right about sending just a few and probably the best boys and girls to US but the average is not the same - believe me I know what I am talking about I tried to explain in last post.Thats because our standarts are higher in our education system.
                                                                                                    Btw - I posted some good things about US too and never said I dislike you.Its always the same - good people there and also bad people there , smart people there and stupid people there
