Are you American?
Is there anything you can say to defend this?
Can you answer all those questions?
The people in this video are total retards, and this is, rightly or not, the general view I have of America.
Most of the Americans I 'know' are smarter than this, As are most of you, but still, this is bad.
I know they probably asked a lot of people, and many will have known a lot of the answers, but this is still abysmal for a country that claims to be first-world, and have a good education system. Can these people even read?
Question: What state is KFC from?
Moron: Dunno.
Question: Do you know what KFC stands for?
Moron: Kentucky fried chicken.
WTF?? How can anyone be this dumb, and have not got a Darwin award by now?
I'm sorry if you think this is a anti-American rant, but it is.

No its not just you they are really stupid. I tried to answer the questions and I got most of them right. And I don't think anyone can say that those people aren't stupid....because they are.
Oh to answer your questions:
Are you American? Sadly, yes
Is there anything you can say to defend this? No, most of America is stupid, I'm not. Most people are stupid.
Can you answer all those questions? I got all correct. And those people are a lot older than me. What retards.
Thats the United States of Retards for you.
Oh did I mention THEY ARE RETARTED!!!!

There are "morons" in every country, this video has not changed my perception of the average american.

They didn't mean where the chicken was from, but where the brands KFC started.
You re the one who is retarted...This video is a total fake, and you felt for it.
sadly I doubt it is a fake.
I have seen evidence in many prestigious journals proving the 2004 election was rigged. If any vote in England is rigged, I will be outside the houses of Parliament with a banner, as I would like to think a great many other people would be. The reason for this is we have a free media. Everyone in the world knows the election was rigged, bar Americans. You may not be a moron, but if you never use your brain, whats the difference?
You live in a dictatorship pretending to be a democracy, and the Medea is too scared/dumb to write about it. You live in a restarted country, and by plainly refusing to care, you to are retarded.
This is my opinion, if you don't agree, then that's fine. If you think less of me, then, that's fine.

You know, you could read what people says instead of staying blind and keep saying crap. I said i was French, so what you think about US doesn t concern me directly.
The thing is, i can believe someone dont know who is Kofi Annan is, i can believe someone dont know which are the "Axe of Evil" countries. However, i dont believe someone would have wrong on more than 2 questions like theses guys. And when the U.S. guy says California and New York are in the "Axe of Evil" i just laughed.
Also, the fact that you dont like the US President elected by a bit more than 50% of the Americans, doesnt mean 100% of the Americans like him.
I sometimes complain that many Frenchs are narrow-minded when it comes to US, but wow, you beat them all.

If you'll read what i said, I wasn't attacking America for having a stupid president, I was attacking them for not careing that the election was rigged.

Lots of information about irregularities, doesn't prove unconditional rigging, but show enough that any government with nothing to hide would have called a full public investigation. The total lack of American media coverage speaks volumes about it.

[cheap shot] no david, not all americans are this stupid, only the ones in the red states [/cheap shot] on a more serious note, i have seen people do such stupid things that it made my jaw drop, and i'm slowly starting to think that americans deserve at least some of the bad reputation they have gotten. <disclamer>

Honestly it's like the news after a hurricane/tornado hit, Jeff Foxworthy said it best "They will put the dumbest person they can find on the air to represent us."
Some of these people are just sad.
Knowing what KFC stands for but won't guess KEntucky...
Guessing there's about 10 eiffel towers....
The guy who had to think longer than 30 seconds where the berlin wall is located
Guessing US states as members of the Axis of Evil.
The second woman giving the first womans answer.
BElieveing Star Wars was basewd on a true story. ( I want a light sabre dammit!)

-
These people are mighty sad, I mean, I answered just about every one of them correctly, except like 1 or 2 that I don't know. (13, 9th grade)
Anyways, at least I know KFX is from Kentucky and it stands for Kentucky Fried Chicken.
NOTE: That guy was right in front of the white house, maybe a protester, if so, he's an idiot. :wink:

If thats how you feel then why don't you GTFO?
-
Yes, every country has its morons...but about 3 in every four americans is like that. Maybe stupid, but my word for it is ignorant. These people have what I call "tunnel vision". As long as they have their pretty house by the lake or whatever...they have no idea what the world's problems are or whats going on.
Of course the ones that didnt know how many Eiffel towers there are or what state KFC came from are just plain retarded.

Too bad I couldn't watch it - don't have flash installed (don't like those anoying adverts :wink: )
But I've seen a similar one about american children (in kindergarden I think) - they were shown photos/portraits of famous (very famous!) people and they only knew Ronald McDonald...
Wht I know about Americans is that their education is poor untill they go to universities... I heared (dunno if it's true) they are taught (on their history lessons) that for example Poland, as a country, originated in 1918... I was taught on my history lessons (I am from Poland :P ) that my country originated in 966.
Nothin' special - only 952 years less... :wink:

Wow Kindergardeners only recognizing ronald mcdonald....go figure a child starting life with shapes colors numbers and the alphabet can't identify who the fuck Saddam, Bush or Osama is :P
What's the world coming to!!!!
-
You know how many people they probably had to ask these questions to find these few that were so dense they couldn't answer them? You can always do something like this to portray a view and spark an opinion. You can find i'm sure 20 people that are in the USA who think USA stands for United States of Asia.... it happens no matter where you are, that doesn't mean that americans think they are in asia.. it means that you polled some morons... good job. This isn't america, its the world. People are fking stupid no matter where you go..
America has left its mark on the world.. Some good, some bad, but no matter how abusive or how kind.. it can't be pulled off souly by a bunch of idiots.
IMHO our school system is shit, but you learn quick that knowledge can be found outside of schools. A lot of kids these days are starting to get a bit mindless, but they still manage to grow up and for the most part do fine later in life.
We left beacons on the moon.. we fking landed on the mood.. martians did not place beacons that are visible by telescope on the moon.. stupid hippies.
@David
Retared?... do you mean... retarded? :p
@Dio
Grow up. If tomorrow there was a documentary saying america was in asia, and a few people who wanted to piss someone off said we were in asia I bet you'd think you were in asia.
@Dormedas
Protester = idiot?.. wtf
@DarkRogue :) lol.. show some kids in europe a few pictures and I bet you they will know who ronald mcdonald is as well.

@Dormedas

Protesters are better people than you or I, they stand up for what they believe.
(Not including rioters)

I just saw the video.
:cry: :cry: :cry:
Please believe me, not all of us are that stupid. An unfortunately large amount, yes, but certainly not all of us.
Oh, and our education system really isn't that great.

Wow Kindergardeners only recognizing ronald mcdonald....go figure a child starting life with shapes colors numbers and the alphabet can't identify who the fuck Saddam, Bush or Osama is :P

The children weren't that young :P . But I don't want to argue
What I meant whas that I just saw another similar movie, and I just wrote what that movie was about - thats all.
I know that stupid people are everywhere, and it does not depend on the nationality. In Poland we also have stupid people.
And our educational system is unfortunately also getting worse recently :( Fortunately I have the school already behind me :wink:

@Topic Title: Well, I'm an American, and in English, you certainly don't spell "retarded" that way.

I'm not going to sit here and take this crap...
For starters, America is about freedom. So WOW, some amateur managed to find a few morons to poll about easy questions... the only thing proven here is that some Anti-American, left-leaning, erm, person has passed political science 101 and has managed to produce a sub-par propaganda video.
Seems to me that we don't have a problem with morons so much as we have a problem with diplomacy. If we are so friggin bad, then why do our borders POUR over with multitudes of people trying to sneak in? If we are so bad, then why haven't we just leveled Iraq and TAKEN the oil? The bottom line is that we are currently the world power, and have-nots everywhere want to take us down whether we pick a fight with them or not. We are too busy defending ourselves to worry about making our case well.
Is it just me, or does most of the rest of the world rely upon us to do the dirtywork? In particular, Europeans seem to mistake cowardice with the noble practice of pursuing peace. Case in point, how often have we heard other Western countries pout about our preemptive war? "It's illegal, it's for oil, there are no WMD's... (blah blah blah)." I suppose that the sarin that Saddam dropped on the Kurds in 1992-3 was not a chemical weapon?
And like I just pointed out, why didn't we just TAKE the oil? The reason we don't do these things is because we intervene in world affairs to make the world a safer place for us. Those who do not support us benefit all the same.
Listen, I don't hate Europeans, or anyone for that matter, I really don't. I wish you the best, I wish that we could all be happy and free and leave each other alone, but that just isn't the world we live in. So long as there are violent psychopaths willing to strap bombs onto themselves and blow up schoolchildren, we are going to keep shooting. Hey, I don't love Bush, he spends money like there is no tommorrow, and he has done nothing to secure our borders, but I will continue to vote for leaders that pursue the war on terrorism, even if I may have to hold my nose a bit to do so.
David:

Be glad that you live in a country that ALLOWS protest. The president of Iran, just yesterday, urged that Iranian Universities be purged of "progressive professors". Protest all you want, but protest in a free country is not "brave"... staging a protest in Iran, now THAT takes balls.
I was hoping my first post in your forum would be about Tremulous, but when I saw this thread, my blood boiled over... Perhaps you guys should consider a no-politics rule like fedoraforum.org has...
-

Because Mexicans cant afford to go anywhere else, and need work.

I thought you had...

You calling Europe 'have-nots'??
And defending yourselves? I thought it was 'preemptive'. the only thing you are defending is your unsustainable and wasteful way of life.
Is it just me, or does most of the rest of the world rely upon us to do the dirtywork?
I distinctly remember the world telling you to NOT attack Iraq... (note, I hate blair as much as bush, at least he's going soon)
In particular, Europeans seem to mistake cowardice with the noble practice of pursuing peace. Case in point, how often have we heard other Western countries pout about our preemptive war? "It's illegal, it's for oil, there are no WMD's... (blah blah blah)." I suppose that the sarin that Saddam dropped on the Kurds in 1992-3 was not a chemical weapon?
The massacering of Kurds was not the reason for war. the only stated reason was WMD's. It has been proven there were none, and never was any evidence to suggest there was. And if you gave a toss about Kurds, you would have attacked in 93.
Listen, I don't hate Europeans, or anyone for that matter, I really don't. I wish you the best, I wish that we could all be happy and free and leave each other alone, but that just isn't the world we live in. So long as there are violent psychopaths willing to strap bombs onto themselves and blow up schoolchildren, we are going to keep shooting.
They attack you because you attack them.
9-11 was a tragedy, and you were right to try to stop terrorism, but killing thousands of Innocent people only makes more terrorists.
Perhaps you guys should consider a no-politics rule like fedoraforum.org has...
I hadn't expected this to go *this* far. perhaps retard was the wrong word...

David:
Because Mexicans cant afford to go anywhere else, and need work.
Which begs the question, why is it that we have work when they do not? Could it be that perhaps our low taxes and general freedom foster a better economic environment?
David:If we are so bad, then why haven't we just leveled Iraq and TAKEN the oil?
Last time I checked, oil prices here in the US were at a record high, hardly evidence of a flood of stolen oil... and also, last time I checked, your troops were there as well, so if oil IS being stolen, your hands are dirty as well.
David:You calling Europe 'have-nots'??
And defending yourselves? I thought it was 'preemptive'. the only thing you are defending is your unsustainable and wasteful way of life.
The English language, which you invented, specifies that a paragraph begins with the subject, and continues with phrases that support that subject. The paragraph in which I mention "have-nots" occurs in the paragraph BEFORE I make any mention of Europe. And to be clear, no, Europe for the most part is a continent of "haves", and I never made a statement to the contrary. And your society is nearly as "unsustainable" and "wasteful" as ours is, though in my opinion neither the US or UK fits this description.
David, in response to my statement: "Is it just me, or does most of the rest of the world rely upon us to do the dirtywork?"I distinctly remember the world telling you to NOT attack Iraq... (note, I hate blair as much as bush, at least he's going soon)
I addressed this, "the rest of the world benefits all the same." (paragraph 4, last sentence.)
David:They attack you because you attack them.
9-11 was a tragedy, and you were right to try to stop terrorism, but killing thousands of Innocent people only makes more terrorists.
9-11 wasn't a tradegy, it was mass murder. The difference being that human beings did this deliberately. Besides, by your own argument, since thousands of OUR innocents died, and you state that this creates terrorists, are you equating us with them?
Not sure what you meant by the last quote...[/quote]

Really, thats all i can say.
ok i said some more, :P

9/11 was mass murder, but then by the same token so are americas wars:
civilian body count in iraq: 41639-46307(http://www.iraqbodycount.net/),
are foreigners any less worthy of life than american citizens?.

We have a big military, lots of nukes, and freedom (what's left of it, anyway). Go us?
We're behind in economics.
We're behind in education.
We're behind in world diplomacy.
America's only reason to hold claim to being a "superpower" in this day and age is because we have a stockpile of warheads.

u know what i really hate about americans???
the fact that they think we canadiens live in FREAKING IGLOOS AND ARE LUMBERJACKS!
i **** well hope that some1 of better organization can take office next election, or america is doomed for good.
-
also even though im canadien and i don't have exact likeness for americans i can spot about a zillion mistakes in that video, lol:
1: the guy who said, o gee it was reinacted in arizona. get ur facts right, area 51's in neveda
2: TEN EFFEL TOWERS???
3: john glenn??? now who was he? neil armstrong was the first on the moon.
4: the "guy with the diaper on his head"=osama bin laden
5: the tony blair question. some guys brother? no prime minister of uk.
6: how many kidneys???? ppl must have not gone to school, we have 2
7: how many world wars. u gotta be kidding me. 3?

Sadly, root is the typical case of an "educated" american. Full of him self, educated by MTV anf CNN and owns a gun.
For the last few years I've been living in the US and I've yet to see that freedom you talk about....but let's not get into that.
I was going to respond to most of your post and even wrote it all out when I realized that regardles of what I say, you CAN'T change your mind about the rest of the world.
Let me just say this in regards to 9/11, terror and wars.
I'm a 26 year old white european muslim who grew up in a war and has seen half his family slaughtered along with many friends.
Kid, you don't know shit about terror or wars.
Terrorism has been around since the begining of civilization and will continue for the rest of it.
"Winning the war on terror" is pure propaganda that is made for sheep like you, who believe that their gov't is doing something beneficial to the world by invading and overthrowing foreign governments.
BTW, if you call two planes smashing into two buildings and killing a 1000 people terrorism, then what is droping bombs and mortars for 36 hours on civil structures and killing tens of thousands of people considered? Oh yeah, making the world a safer place!

The thing is... maybe Afghanistan was sort of defending our country(remember them?.. wtf happened over there?)... but Iraq was not... it was just bush abusing his power and using the military because of his personal hatred for sadam.. not because he was trying to help america... a lot of the bad that has happened to us is being abused and exploited of political gain and for things it doesn't need to be used for.. :/

What bush sees
Oil > people with brown skin
You don't support Iraq, unless you would you and fight if you knew beforehand you were going to die and guess what you don't. The Iraqies are willing to do that to stop us.
Stupid american response:
We should help the Iraqs by killing them all. They had mwds. Go Hitler!

You're telling me there's not 10 Eiffel Towers?
And Star Wars is fake?!!!!!!!!!!!
:cry:
-
9: well at least they got the al queada question right.
That Al-Qaeda is a terrorist group in Israel with Yasser Arafat as its president is correct?
10: religion in isreal, muslim. not exactly a religion. ISLAM U FOOL.
A muslim is someone who follows the Islamic religion... and those damn Islamic Israelis must really hate those damn jews...
11: latin is the language of mexico. bah i shouldn't go on.
Is that supposed to be a joke or what? the language of mexico is spanish, latin was the language of the romans and is all but extinct today.
Yes, defending our country! Just like we did to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Kill about 2400 enlisted servicemen? WELL WE'LL KILL OVER 200,000 CIVILIANS! YAHOOOO GO AMERICA WHOOT!
We removed the need for an invasion of the japanese home islands that was estimated to cost hundreds of thousands if not millions of american lives, if they had surrendered sooner we wouldn't have needed to drop the bomb.
First of all im sure if i go around any country and ask 1000 ppl current event questions, im sure i will have no difficulty finding 5-10 that have no clue whats happening in the world, and to look at those few as representative of the whole is a flawed approach. Why does the world, particularly europe, have to bash america anyway? it seems like only about 70 years ago all of europe was enveloped in the oppression of nazi germany until america stepped up to do something about it. Oh but im sure america didnt need to intervene, because england and the french resistance were just on the edge of turning the tide and all we did was show up at the end for undue glory huh? or perhaps the europeans would have relied on russia to save them so they could experience the same communism that eastern europe did and china still does. When the next major conflict comes who will the europeans call? I guarantee it will be america.
You Euros in your tiny countries remind me of high school geeks, they mock the jocks that get the girls, the popularity, and ultimately the power, because they know they themselves will never have it. I think you are all jealous of the power of the united states and try to hide it by mocking us.
The way i see it without america there would be no europe as you know it, you would either be russian communists or german socialists. So look at China, then look at America, and decide in which style you would rather live.
-
I hope you are joking.
America would have been happy to see us destroyed, you only attacked because they were attacked.
We had already beaten back the German air-force, the UK could not have been invaded.

Its morons like you that give America a bad name.

9: well at least they got the al queada question right.
That Al-Qaeda is a terrorist group in Israel with Yasser Arafat as its president is correct?
10: religion in isreal, muslim. not exactly a religion. ISLAM U FOOL.
A muslim is someone who follows the Islamic religion... and those damn Islamic Israelis must really hate those damn jews...
11: latin is the language of mexico. bah i shouldn't go on.
Is that supposed to be a joke or what? the language of mexico is spanish, latin was the language of the romans and is all but extinct today.
Yes, defending our country! Just like we did to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Kill about 2400 enlisted servicemen? WELL WE'LL KILL OVER 200,000 CIVILIANS! YAHOOOO GO AMERICA WHOOT!
We removed the need for an invasion of the japanese home islands that was estimated to cost hundreds of thousands if not millions of american lives, if they had surrendered sooner we wouldn't have needed to drop the bomb.
First of all im sure if i go around any country and ask 1000 ppl current event questions, im sure i will have no difficulty finding 5-10 that have no clue whats happening in the world, and to look at those few as representative of the whole is a flawed approach.

Several things (I don't feal like commenting on everything you said):
1. We nuked Japan to say hey Russia we have nukes
2. The Euro used to be worth around $.90, now it's around $1.50 so shut it.
3. You are annother idiot who does not at all understand communism so buy a book and learn what it is or stop saying using it like a redneck.

try to answer all those questions. i got most of them. but for the ones the people didn't know they just make a collection of the wrong answers and put it on the internet. i dont know anyone that is that stupid, and to make a generalization of an entire country of around 280 million people based on the "random" interview of a few dozen is even more stupid.

george bush is gonna die before he makes it out of office...it's called black hawk's curse, in 1840 william henry harrison was cursed by an indian called blackhawk, that year he became president and died 30 days after being elected, since then every president elected on a year ending with 0 has died before getting out of office...
1860 Abraham Lincoln, assassinated
1880 James Garfield, assassinated
1900 Theodore Roosevelt, assassinated
1920 Warren G. Harding, heart attack
1940 Franklin D. Roosevelt, cerebral hemorrhage
1960 John F. Kennedy, assassinated
1980 Ronald Reagan, shot BUT lived
2000 George bush
...we can only hope reagan didn't screw it up :/
don't know why i thought of this but i just thought i'd say it xD

Then, all that mess wass in fact a coordinated operation by all the parties to avoid the exponential effect of the "multiple of 10" year curse? ( 2000 can be divided 3 times by ten and so, the curse would have taken effect 3 times stronger )
It certainly explains some things :P

u know what i really hate about americans???

Ok, so I'm reading this thread and here is what I'm taking from it so far :
1) Americans are assholes who like to get their way by blowing crap up
2) Other countries hate us for it
3) Everyone is trying to justify the point of view of Americans being assholes because of : Iraq, Oil, and use of force around the world.
All I have to say is this: most of you countries out there whinning about us Americans would not exist today if not for us. Kiss our bombing, power craving, rich, imperilistic asshole asses.
To the Euros out there, let me ask you, are you enjoying your high unemployment rates, stagnant and old cultural achievements and large numbers of poor rioting muslim immigrants ?
Oh and lets not forget the wonderfully functional U.N. Them and their nice little oil for food scandal, and the powerfull letters they write to world tyrants that they somehow pass off as "resolutions". Yeah, lets depend on them to fix the worlds problems.
If America would cease to exist today, the world would fall into chaos, and not just economically. Sorry to break the news to you guys who hate us. You need us, just like we need you. Doh !
Personally, I think we should just leave Iraq. We gave those people a chance to govern themselves, and all they do is fight among themselves over old crap. Experiment tried, and failed.
And yes, there are lots of idiots running around America who can vote. Don't think thats isolated to our country. The fact that we are stuck on a 2 party political system pisses me off to no end. Both parties SUCK ASS.
There, that should add fuel to the flame war.

zOmg you americans are so l33t
who cares????
winning an argument on the internet is like competing in the special olympics............

You must be thinking of this :
(http://oppressed.net/argue.jpg)
I wasn't trying to win an arguement, I'm just saying kiss our American butts :):)
-
I was defending Americans there for a while, but reading some of the shit you guys posted makes me rethink my position.
"...large numbers of poor rioting muslim immigrants.."
"....Experiment tried, and failed..."
You gotta be shitting me!
Do you realize how many Muslims live in the U.S.?
Do you realize that I'm one of them?
And glad to see that invading other countries is seen as a fucking experiment!
Have any of you ever left the U.S. or even your own state?
Man I'd love to smack some of you and drag you half way aroud the world so you can see what the world is really like and how isolated and rotten your own U.S. of A is.
Open your mind motherfucker. Not your mouth!
-
Oh well, at least we can spell retarded right :).
-
I didn't vote for Dubyah, but I do think Iraq seems more like an experiment then an actual functional operation to stop terrorism.
I've been all over Asia, never the middle east.
I was referring the the riots in France related to large populations of disinfranchised muslim immigrants due to failed French immigration policy and the lack of integration. You sound like an integrated immigrant do me, even if you do use profanity :)
I apologize for offending muslims, and do agree that this country seems very prejudice against them. Maybe that would change if more muslims stood up and denounced terrorism ? Or maybe stop threatening to kill anyone who says something offending or draws an offending cartoon ? I'm Christian, and I don't go out into the streets and burn cars because somebody says Jesus was evil.

People who hate the US for attacking them and will do whatever it takes including suicide to stop us. WE CAN NEVER WIN A WAR WHERE PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO OUTRIGHT SUICIDE TO KILL US.
Ummm - Japan in WWII, correct? (I believe the US and Japan are staunch allies now.)
@David- "I hope you are joking.
America would have been happy to see us destroyed, you only attacked because they were attacked.
We had already beaten back the German air-force, the UK could not have been invaded."
I do hope you are joking. US pilots were volunteering to fight for Britain before the US was ever in the war. Very early on during the Battle of Britain (that is the way it is termed in the US) there were very few US pilots, but even then a full 20% of Britain's RAF was composed of pilots from other countries. The US had the Lend/Lease act where the US gave the Briton's hundreds of airplanes before it even entered the war. (Even Poland comprised almost 10% of the pilots in your RAF at the time.) The US sent convoy after convoy (with many German U-boat sinkings and thousands of US lives lost) to supply Britain with the most basic needs through out the entire war. And, when the US did join the war, the 1,000s and 1,000s of lives lost on air/sea/ground in support of your country (and Europe) makes your statements ignorant and disrespectful to those Americans that are buried there. You need to read some history. I can tell you are young, no reason to be ignorant.
I see Canada and the UK in these posts. Both of you should make no mistake. Should either of your two countries ever be threatened by any other country or world power, the US would stop at nothing in your defense and protection as if it were it's own.
I was going to stay out of this thread and I have already said way more than I meant to. I'm sure not going to touch on current geo-politics. That is way beyond... Just wanted to clear up some history.
-

This post was full of history and truth. Particularly the quoted part.

And lets not forget the BILLIONS of dollars the U.S. spends around the world helping other poorer nations, and whenever there is a crisis like we had with that tsunami.

... You sound like an integrated immigrant do me, even if you do use profanity :).....
I'm not an immigrant, sunshine. But thats another topic for another day.
..I'm Christian, and I don't go out into the streets and burn cars because somebody says Jesus was evil....
You don't have to. Your country does it for you.
I don't condone the acts of a few extremist but I do understand some of them. At least to a certain extent. As far as Islam goes, terror and violence is against everything that Islam stands for.
For the Pope and the U.S. Gov't to say that Islam is a violent religion and needs to be dealt with, creates a feeling of unfair stigmatisation. When Jewish people were stigmatised, the whole world went out of their way to help them out, like it should have happened. But if you're a Muslim, you simply can't count on the world to right the wrongs and lend a hand.
Why is that?
While most world gov't work toward a better education and econimics, the U.S. does the exact opposite. When things such as a strong social system and health care are considered a norm in most modern countries, in the U.S. it's a luxury. Only 4 out of 10 U.S. citizens have or are able to afford healthcare!
Fact is, morons with guns are quite easier to contol then an educated and opinionated crowd. That why when a leader of an European gov't acts against the will of the people, he/she is removed from power in a peacefull manner. Try doing that in the U.S. and you'll spend a long time in Guantanamo Bay.

What we need to do is get rid of our dependence on foreign Oil, then we would not have many of the problems and conflicts that we do in the middle east.

And I was going to stay out of this-
PHREAK - While I appreciate your comments in some areas, you have strayed at bit here. The US government goes to extreme lengths to seperate church and state where in many Muslim countries, the church is the state. In fact, to be politically correct in the US, extreme protection is given to almost all religions except Christianity which is routinely sued in court for being represented in state schools or office buildings. Nothing is ever done by the US in the name of Christianity, where as much of the violence we see today is done in the name of Islam. (And yes, I know Islam and the Muslim faith do not promote or condone those actions).
Remove a US leader and go to G'Bay - lol. Is history so short to remember that two of our most recent presidents (Nixon and Clinton)were impeached with Nixon resigning (in a peaceful manner).
-
While Nixon and Clinton were impeached, it's wasn't by the people but rather the Senate. Neither was removed.
Also, do some homework on church and state.
The only Islamic country in the world right now is Iran.
All others are either democratic or sovereign.
I feel like I'm getting way too deep into politics here so I'll stop responding to this thread. This is a video game forum afterall :wink:

Anyone pointing a finger to America and living in the Western world should took a look at the history of his own country and then think again. It is so easy to piss on America these days, it's almost fashionable. Just stop it, there is no reason to.

all you people are stupid morons whose opiniions are shaped by a media that mis-quotes and mis-reports and scaremongers and generally takes the piss. there is no cure for this disease.
