What do you think? Will the jealousy ever end?

I have provided for multiple answers.

That's presumptive...

as in... you're basing your question on the presumption that people are indeed *jealous* of the US...

What other reason can you think of?

I haven't been here much of late. Is it really that bad on the General Topics forum? Is this thread really necessary?

Several. :rotfl:Statements like that might have something to do with it.

......less topics like this might be a good start.

Seriously, you must have known when starting this topic that you where posting an invitation
for conflict to all the members here who hold strong opinions on the matter.

It's a little like holding a arsonists party is a fuel dump.

I'm not saying these things shouldn't be discussed, just that a little tact when starting
the topic might make it a little less "flammable".

Learn to know the rest of the world, maybe? :hmm:
Better yet: tell those fellow's who can't even name their own states, that there is something beyond LA and NY.
I'm very often in contact with young americans who happen to visit europe.
You should expect that a 25 year old man of good education is well settled in his understanding of the world....

But even though I've seen it before now, it surprises me all the times again what they tell me years later about "opening eyes" and "totally different view".

And keep in mind that europe is only ONE possible place to go and have a look with your own eyes.

Haha it's that type of arrogance which causes people to think little of Yanks. - hahah 'world series'

Personally I feel the same need to bash the USA as any other country that isn't Australia, let's face it, compared to us you're just second best.

:p

Penicillin and the wine cask. You can keep your war machines and stuff, we save lives and transport wine in devices which can later be used as a pillow.

Go ahead and bash away. Why the Hell do we care? We don't want to live in Australia. It's hot, infested with mice, and was once a prison colony; plus, it has tons and tons of animals that can kill you in seconds. Keep it. You're doing us a favor.

EDIT: Don't forget the aborigines.

Go ahead and bash away. Why the Hell do we care? We don't want to live in Austrailia. It's hot, infested with mice, and was once a prison colony; plus, it has tons and tons of animals that can kill you in seconds. Keep it. You're doing us a favor.

Was once a prison colony? More honour in that then having the foundations of my nation built by SLAVE LABOUR.

Oh but please continue Mr fraidy cat who is scared of mice.

And that is my reason for picking no.

PapaG39 · 11-05-07, 04:33 PM

Nope! people just love to bitch about something.

And I couldn't care less... Let them bitch.
I still live in a free country and it suits me just fine... I support President Bush also. I think he is doing just fine...To bad he couldn't go another term.
