The Hate America Thread

[zenkidori]

So instead of making every thread that has anything American in it go off topic with a huge flamewar of uninformed and opinionated posts, why not just post all your shit talking here? Here's a post I made in another thread but I've moved it to here:

I've said this much before, but it's not really that we're insecure or offended, it's that you look stupid when you make such ignorant comments, probably in the same way you think we look stupid when someone makes a blanket statement about europe when they don't really know WTF they are talking about.

Jeremy Clarkson is funny when he makes fun of America, because he's indeed very American. In behavior, taste, and many other ways. It's almost self depricating humor in a round about way. However I see a lot of people jump on the, "OMFG AMERICA SUX0rZZZ!!!!!" bandwagon, when they don't know WTF they are talking about. So when people make stupid arrogant and ignorant comments about America, expect them to be corrected. Just as if an American made a stupid ignorant comment about europe he could expect to catch shit from all the europeans here.

same shit, different day.

I can't for the life of me understand how a person could be ashamed of thier country of origin Just because a person loves America doesn't mean they agree with the Bush administration, it's politics. republicans, whatever, that has nothing to do with it at all. The country and it's government are not the same thing. Look at Top Gear for instance, I'm sure they all love England, but are constantly taking jabs at thier own government and fellow citizens. Even people who flee to refugee camps from oppressive and tyrannical governments usually love thier country.

I think there are a lot of Americans, in particular prententious youths, who jump on the "grass is greener" bandwagon and bitch about how lame America is or whatever. Sort of like a spoiled brat child talking shit about thier parents in a way. I think a lot of them want to feel above everyone else and thus try and find a way to look down upon the general population, like those douchebags who automatically hate anything popular.

If you really like europe so much, move there. There's nothing wrong with it. I'm moving to Japan in a couple years, so what of it? Who said you can't get out and enjoy the rest of the world? One thing I see however, is that 90% of these people who run around saying, "Americans are stupid, I'm moving to europe" never do. They just sit and bitch and never try to change anything, be it in thier own lives or in thier own country. I've never really understood this. If you are unhappy with your situation, change it. It's really that simple. Just find what works for you and stick with it, it's a lot healthier than bitching about your situation and not doing anything.

This thread will go nowhere good. What's so hard to understand about "no flaming"?
