I've read on different threads where people contacted the moderators because someone said something offensive about their country and here we have a thread entirely devoted to denigrating the U.S. WTF?

Oh, we're not denigrating the USA. We're just trying to find out how people in the rest of the world view the USA. It doesn't necessarily follow that someone who doesn't think that the USA is 100% worthy of praise is "denigrating" the country.

Let me throw this out there before y'all begin, I don't really care what people from irrelevant/small countries in old Europe think of the US. Most Americans besides our beloved president probably feel the same way.


The protagonist in this film seems to epitomize everything that is American:


Maybe. But more likely just one of the many foreigners that make pigs of themselves in countries like Thailand.


Actually, I was just pulling everyone's leg with that video. Bob Feaver, the sex tourist, is Canadian. :lol:

Nothing is 100% praise worthy, I just think it's a double standard.

(And now a bunch of posts will probably follow this one explaining that the only reason a topic like this is allowed is because we, in the U.S. truly are assholes so we deserve it.)

I'm sure that any country has its quota of idiots and stereotyping the USA is no different than stereotyping Europe or Asia. Nevertheless the economic, health, education, and general governmental systems in the USA do not seem to be performing in an optimum manner.

I'm going to stick with 'psychic.'

At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy nut- I can't be blamed for what international banker/mob types have on their agendas under the cover of 'U.S.A'. Thank you, and good night.

Well, that is certainly one conspiracy of which I was unaware. I didn't know that anyone was particulaly blaming you for what international banker/mob types have on their agendas under the cover of "U.S.A."

Now that you've spilled the beans and the conspiracy is out of the bag, we'll have to see what we can do to publicise this conspiracy.
