I think Europe has got us there guys =[
chocolote(sp) was a classic

You like comparisons..? Start comparing the great authors and artists in USA vs Europe.

You always like to fuck with Russia, right? The Russian literature is absolutely superior compared to American literature

---------------
Actually, some of my best friends are from Russia. For the record, Nabokov is my favorite writer though his best book was written in English first. Hell, he even moved to the US and became an American.

Let's compare scientists instead. Drawing pretty pictures is not as "smart" as conducting good physics work. 9 of the past 10 Nobel Physics prizes were awarded to at least one American. Our smart kids make fun of art and go into particle physics instead. We'll create the world. You draw pictures of it.

And while you fall asleep creating the world, we'll be having fun and getting enjoyment out of the arts we create :P

I'm not getting into a science vs arts debate :P I prefer science over art but I like arguing so what the hell.

No doubt you will kick his ass to kingdom come, but he sure gave you a nasty scar...

forever ungrateful bastards.... if it wasn't for us, you'd all be goosesteppin' in your jack boots right now. (providing you're blond and blue eyed... otherwise you'd be dead)

goodnight fellows. going to go to sleep on my italian made bed with chinese made sheets and taiwan made pillow, all made mostly to get my AMERICAN dollar, the only money that really counts. :)

"I got the impression that USA was a bunch of wilderness until settlers came from all over the world...so you could say that Europeans(mostly) made USA what it is today..."

---------------------

Yeah, think about it. All the good brave ones came over. America "averaged up". My great-grandfather
was one of them. He left Italy for this country on April 15, 1921 on a ship called the Guglielmo Peirce. Great grandma was also on that ship. He was 34 and she was 36. They carried with them their infant son, my grandfather, aged 2 months old.


Know why they left Europe? For a better place.

Thats right. What this world needs is more technology which means fancier computers and night googles to sell in virtual shopping malls. Never-ending need for money and technology.

America is a country with a big oidipal complex. It's jealous to its father figure Europe and wants to accomplish better in everything compared to Europe - especially everything related to money and success which basically equals to one's capability of being able to reproduce (psychologically). Simple evolution and Freud applied by Mika

I'm convinced you're insane mika.

I know what you mean.

I'm drinking Australian made alcoholic cider bought with your US dollars.

Thanks to the internet I get to suck your dollars out of your economy and deposit them into Australian banks.

THANK YOU AMERICAN MASTURBATORS!

we need to bomb Finland.

see, you fuckers all are tied to the USA in one way or the other. So quit pussy teasing all of us, and just let us tap that ass, biatch :Graucho

"call me threat to your children call me socially unglued
call me master of insanity, unable to relate
call me lazy, bane, and filthy
call me monstrous reprobate

I'm going for a walk and there's nothing you can do
'cuz I don't have to live like you

so I'm going for a walk"

good stuff from America.

Bomb Finland? Let's really hurt them and beat them in hockey instead. Wait, ....

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/oly...sa_finland_ap/

by the way, you should thank your chinese masturbators even more. They jerk off to your stuff, and not a pay a penny. Arent you glad that America exists?

when I was younger I also disliked us's foreign policy...now I just think it's funny how much power us has...

the worst that could happen with the iraq war is either saddam kills a bunch of people in the US or bush kills a bunch of civilians in iraq...since this doesn't affect me I say go ahead...

but saddam better not kill any of my porn customers...then it's personal...

isnt that that song off of the new Martha Stewart soundtrack?

Dude, we're gonna bleed your economy dry and then kick what remains into the dustbin of history. :glugglug

Why should I thank them if they don't pay?

Mika,

If yesterday's bombing was terrorist related ...

What kind of terrorist organization would bomb Finland and what would the motivation be?

DJsap, that's a FANTASTIC attitude! What doesn't affect you, doesn't matter. No offence, but that really is pathetic.

finland doesn't let any terrorists in...sweden lets all terrorist live here...therefore they wont bomb us :)

Seriously speaking (after a while LOL) Finland does not have real enemies. I cant imagine any terrorist organization behind it.

Rumors talk about a suicidal bombing of a (white) man. Probably mental case who wanted to take some other people with him

by 'we', are you talking about the 3000 foreign webmasters on this board, or that incredible economy of yours in australia?

My local 7 eleven store stopped carrying Fosters last week. The australian GDP went down 2%.

I was being sarcastic.

Sheesh! Where?:BangBang:

America?? You mean the United States - that is only one part of America and who cares? I don't think the US is "brilliant" - nor do I think any other place is endowed with brillance - don't hate the US and sure as hell not jealous as some seem to think is the common reason for *any* criticism!

Gotta start spouting how great Iceland is next to keep it goin! Someone got a problem with Iceland being the "best" nation on the planet? :-)

Gittin tired of hearing about this eighth wonder of the world tho! Also getting this idea that things are the total reverse of whatever they are presented as... "privacy"= opposite, "peacemakers"="warmongers", "justice"="that what benefits us" .. blah - Ya begin to wonder sometimes

Anyway.. keep at it - will be hearing Bush is Jesus Christ next...

Peace to all!

Actually Sweden will be the next European country with a muslim government.

With the current rate of migration and all the Swedish girls looking for love from muslim men, it's gonna be a muslim state in 30 years.

So I thought, maybe after all Finland needs good relationship with the USA. They may need to bomb stockholm some day

I shouldn't be telling you this but... Fosters is a beer we export to foreign countries as a joke. Nobody has worked it out yet. :1orglaugh

"Probably mental case who wanted to take some other people with him"

We get those all the time. Welcome to the club.

Bollocks!!

The "gutless pussies" that stayed behind were too busy killing each other off and making wars on their neighbours..., like the tradition has been in Europe for the last....million years?

Wait...that is a bad thing, isn`t it? :helpme

like I said, my local 7 eleven stooped carrying it last week :)

Going to sleep finally. I will just leave you guys with this

All these threads about America lately on GFY can only mean one thing: You European girls are all scared shitless cause you know what is coming. Total world domination by America, sponsored by VISA - accepted everywhere, even in your commie countries!

Australia tops international GDP growth poll

AUSTRALIA is tipped to have the fastest economic growth rate in the industrialised world this year, a survey by an international magazine said Tuesday.

A poll of 17 forecasters by The Economist, a London-based weekly, placed Australia at the top of the economic growth table with an average forecast of 4% GDP growth for 2002.

The next best placed economies were the United States and Canada with 2.9%, while Japan was at the bottom of the 16 economies ranked with a 0.8% contraction tipped.

"Australia is also tipped to top the league in 2003, with growth of 3.9%, followed closely by Canada (3.6%) and the United States (3.5%)," the magazine said.

But Australia's superior growth rate brought with it higher than average expectations for inflation and the current account deficit, the economists polled said.

Consumer prices in Australia were tipped to rise by 2.6% this year, third behind the Netherlands (3.6%) and Spain (3.1%). Australia's current account deficit was expected to be 3.5% of GDP, second only to the US (4.2% of GDP).

America?? You mean the United States - that is only one part of America and who cares?

---------------------

I can figure out what you mean when you say "football" and you can't figure out what I mean when I say "America"?

You may not be aware of this genius, but many parts of the world have different names to different people.

What do YOU say?

Germany or Deutschland?
Mexico or (pronounced) May-hico?
America or "The States"?

Joe,

I love Australia. Two of the biggest users of our feeds are Australian companies. I've always found the Australian Porn Mafia to be top-notch.

Ever been here?

this is all relating to growth...for 2002...which is all fine and dandy, but were not talking about how fast our dicks are growing...were talking about how big it is. Right now, United States is 13 inches. Australia is 3 inches. :Graucho

Colin:

America ain't the United States... but some may wish to think so. Whatever.. :Graucho

"Bestiality is legal in The Netherlands?!"

BYOD.

USA is the big 7 year old bully in the sandbox. Let's see what happens when USA reaches its teens. Hopefully not too much aggression.

Of course some people would call Germany Deutschland.. because Deutschland is German. Duh. However, America isn't in another language meaning the States. And for that matter, when someone says "hey do you like football" I think well hell, does he mean soccer? rugby union? rugby league? afl?

I agree that most people directly relate America to the United States, but his point is valid.

I think it's called an education :-)

you never know bro, we may just hit puberty and them hormones go out of control...and then boom, we nuke everyone but antartica!! Run europe, run!

Well man, that would be because you have 280 million people and we have 19 million people.

So on average, our dicks are bigger! :glugglug

America ain't the United States... but some may wish to think so. Whatever.."

You may be aware of the fact that sometimes the same word has more than one definition. The dictionary is full of them. If you rifle through one, you will notice that many have numbers next to them like this:

1. Definition 1
2. Definition 2

For example,

A·mer·i·ca
1. The United States.
2. The landmasses and islands of North America, Central America, and South America.

is it Joe? hey, this gives me an idea, lets have a GFY contest where we have several representatives from each country post a picture of their dicks, and we will have the women on GFY pick what they believe to be the best! Itll be like the GFY design contests:thumbsup

You guys mull that over while I get some sleep.

Colin, hasent America taught you anything? You don't argue with europeans with facts...instead you pull out your 12 gauge shotgun and just put some lead into them! :)

i'm going to re-heat some chili...

I looked up America on dictionary.com and found where you got your source from Colin, and oh look at the source of the definition:

The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition

What a surprise. :P

Make sure you have some Fosters with that! :1orglaugh

You're mistaken. You can't fathom the fact that the citizens of a country called the "United States of America" would refer to itself as America. This all because the continents have the same name.
