Dude..it's just a board..I could say the same about Canadian bashers but I want the Americans to think we live in igloos and the moose run wild on the tundra
...I want the Americans to think we live in igloos and the moose run wild on the tundra
You're dealing with Americans, to them tundra is a Toyota, and not scrabbily ground cover.
Anyhow, man, it's just an internet forum. Take it for what it is. I ignore it. The worst ones that have absolutely nothing but bile to spew get ignored.
Actually the one thing that bothers me is the stereotypes. They seem to think that because Bush is in power, we all bow down to him everyday and worship him. Most of us dislike him (just look at the approval ratings).

..and the rest do nothing but whine about him ad nauseum.
What can people do? Cast our vote and that's about it.
Exactly! But day in, day out, people are either bitching about Bush, or USA, or the fact that they don't appreciate that the USA has been 'the overlord' for years, yet offer no reasonable resolves.
I have a love-hate thing with the US... you have some of the best and some of the worst of stuff, like food for example... and then there's the potential of a country as great as the US, and the spoiled potential... sometimes the bile is a little bitter and it comes out with some people... but I don't think I ever spew online... there's no reason for someone to think I hate them just because where they live - everyone has to live somewhere...
I agree with you if someone is just plain wrong or rather uninformed... I hate it when someone speaks from ignorance or prejudice, and claim to have an opinion on anything they have no real knowledge of.
But face it, with the kind of influence the states has on the geo-political playing field... they're going to absolutely be pissed on sooner or later...
You got Bush... too bad, but wait..., now we (Canada) got Harper - and if he could he'd get down on his knees on the north pole and swallow George whole...
And the Canadians are the ones who're gonna gag and puke... you'll be welcoming us to the fold soon, instead of giving us shit for giving you shit... cause its all going to be the same shit lol
Peace and fun :D

Yeah! What he said. Besides, if you let it get under your skin you get high blood pressure and then the asshole that posted the trash wins. So fuck um and ignore um,

There aren't any reasonable resolves. Both parties are worthless hacks. Politicians are guys who couldn't cut it in the private sector. Until parties are abolished, nothing will change and our vote will be between a pile of shit and a pile of vomit.
to be fair there is quite a lot of anti americans out there today, but then again the amount of retards in the states kind of makes it hard to defend the country...then again post like this is why some of the american haters continue to do it, basically just to troll...

when you come on an international forum you are gonna hear things from other people who aint in the same country and don't have the same mind set as yourself. thats the joy of the world wide web.
when i see posts that are anti-british i either respond and forget them, or i just forget them straight off. someone that i don't know posting stuff about the british on the net doesn't really rank up there in my top concerns in life.

Can you see yourself trolling a load of stuff in a defense of eg Tony Blair or whoever and getting all political when you know the truth about em and it's clear for the world to see?
I'm from the UK and have never "defended" any crap ever from them. If they screw up - they fully deserve the consequences and sure as hell would never be "offended" if anyone took potshots at them either. They are big boys and know what they are doing
I just dont do business with most of the USA bashers, thats payback enough because Ive made ALOT of money in the last few years and theyve possibly lost out on some of that. Its funny they will take their USA customers money all day, if only some of those customers knew such a shame.

i dont defend stuff about blair etc, but thats about the government, the poster was talking about anti-american, not anti-american government. as i said if somone says something anti-british i might respond, i might not, either way i forget about it. if someone says something anti-british government then i'd probably agree with them

well of course they'll take usa customers money , better in your pocket then theirs , in business there is no room to hold grudges
thing you need to remember is that everyone has opinion and not everyone is going to have the same opinion as yours , getting all pissy over what someone you have never and probably never will meet says about your county over a digital space is just bullshit , build a bridge and get over it

Same here vc - I'll join ya!
Good to see the ass end of Blair shortly - tho hate to think of the next prospect
Dunno.. think the poster is under the impression anyone who critizes or comments on the US is a "US hater". Some are like that on this side of the Atlantic - they can't tell the difference Have you seen a load of "foreigners come on GFY to denigrate us and spill their bile about our country?" Not found any yet.
The core issue, tho it's a state of denial, is the real concern/offense is not over the US people or over the US as a country - more along the lines of the crap govt they currently have. This comes particularly from those who actually voted for them - so kinda understandable It's our "values" to permit torture to the point of organ failure and possible death - high principles indeed
PS Sorry DH - No offense ever intended to your country or it's people - but hell, your govt stinks - tho they are not alone, just more vocal and arrogant
Dude..it's just a board..I could say the same about Canadian bashers but I want the Americans to think we live in igloos and the moose run wild on the tundra
I do live in an igloo. Don't you? (The idea of letting the moose go outside is just ridiculous though).
Alot of the stuff is just plain bull: Bush lied, Bush is the world's biggest terrorist, etc..
OK.. sure.. Some folks may be of that opinion DH, but that has little to do with "hating the US".
Dunno who may have said that or under whatever reasons, but it very obvious Young George has little credibility and hardly surprising comments. The same applies to Blair in the UK - tho not sure the claims of "the world's biggest terrorist" would fit him. Blair did lie about WMD and the Bush Admin knew exactly the background - they are both in the same pot. Fortunately one is "departing" shortly and the tide is turning - least until another assault is made on folks by govts.
Basically what it all boils down to. Basically jealousy or hatred of the pread of captilism.
I personally think capitilism leads to the breakdown of society, but that's my PoV. Not intented as a flame.

I think its more a hate love relationship with USA, we love your fast food but hate your violence, we love your porn but hate GWB.. I could even say the same about my country, I love not having much violence but hate not having legal porn.

I agree that this is the current state of the US. But then, it's the state of the rest of the world, too. So it's not really qualified as a criticism of America. I also think your analysis is wrong. The problem is not too much capitalism, but too little. Corporations exploiting government power to beat down better competitors and get subsidies from tax money is not capitalism. In pure capitalism this would not be possible as government power would be too limited. The US was the best experiment in trying to give people liberty so far. Even though it didn't work out as planned, it's still the best we have today.
But I would love to see a place where individual rights would actually be respected and considered inalienable. All we have had to this day were approximations that turned worse and worse.
So if someone is fucking up and I say nothing and let them continue to fuck up, I love them. And if I try to stop them fucking up I hate them. Got any more of this great logic?
I once thought to purchase from you but your big mouth has lost you out on alot of money from me thats for sure.
Think about it Paul. If I walked into a store and was looking to buy something but you are there and you are saying shit like "typical American bullshit" or "The American people are stupid and fat etc" you think Im gonna buy shit from you?
