sometimes you get a little bit too cocky....

Sounds very arrogant of you to say that "Ol' Europe" is just trying to keep America out of trouble. We had to take the lead role in rebuilding "Old Mother Europe" last century after you guys nearly destroyed yourselves, we intervened militarily helping to conduct regime change in Nazi Germany and Mussolini's Italy, and protected you from an expansionist and hostile Soviet Union for the last 50 years. How quickly these things are forgotten.
Actually, you guys need to worry about yourselves. You and the rest of the European continent as a whole are not perfect. Very flawed in fact. Very cocky of you to think otherwise......especially from what I've seen of you guys over there. Europe is nothing special in comparison to anybody else. And no, most of us don't care what you think about us or the decisions we make. Your press and ours make you think we do. But we really don't. Seriously, you guys may need to polish up your own image. Some of you guys look arrogantly ignorant to many of us. Not all of you, but those of you with this attitude do. What do you suppose you need to do to improve your own image to the USA? I mean, gee-whiz, I don't get where some of the people from your continent think that we "need" to impress you or gain your approval everytime we make a decision. We simply don't. Where the heck did you guys ever get that idea? It's quite comical, and reeks of arrogance. You may consider how you need to improve that image. I actually prefer to think of Europe as a mutual partner. While I may come across as harsh here, there is a point to it. We have benefitted from our relationship with you guys as well. But this whole notion that we owe you anything, need to "improve our image" to you, or that we need to strive to gain your approval in how we run our nation doesn't fly.
I won't address your views regarding either Mr. Bush or Mr. McCain. |
Ok maybe I didn't passed the idea I was intending too... People in Europe look to the USA and expect them to do good, expect them to do better than Europe, exactly for the reasons you've mentioned before.I thing it's in the interest of everyone that the USA have a strong economy, and good relatios abroad, because when they do, mostly there is a very good economic growth world over. But we can't view this as a competition, and we can talk about national pride and such, and collectve thinking, but Nations DON'T HAVE egos! people do! (let alone europe,or do you really thing that all of europe contries just formed a gestalt of ego to throw at america?). We're entitled to an opinion, as you are, and everybody is, even those idiots who wanted to kill those cartoonist over Maomé's (thats how in portugal we write mohamed) pictures, or those guys who choose not to accept evolution (tho I PITY THE FOOLS!
) or the neonazi guys in europe (and Israel...:rotfl
... For instance, I truly believe there's a lot more racism in europe than in the states, at least in general. I think that in Portugal or france or even the UK we won't see a black man running office in a long run (though with women we got ahead...but that's because we don't grow moustaches anymore, damnit!
-long story...-) So what I said about ol europe as a mom and america as a teeeage daughter is just a smartass analogy that's suppose to be funny supposed to be funny (and a little bit thruthfull ehehe)... The thing about McCain and Bush was just to bust your balls and see if you'd burst in a unholy blast of posting anger, didn't work... would be funny...
