these are stereotypes, if the brits were asked to stereotype Americans it would be a LOT worse, trust me.

if you believ that other nations fit these descriptions then you are trully living up to the findings of the report..

Coming from one who supports the current US colonization of Iraq & A'stan, that's quite an ironic statement.

The fact that you felt compelled to spell out "as in retreat" suggests that you think everyone else here is as dumb as you are, which is saying quite a lot.

Or a little, depending on your view of the matter.

The fact that you felt compelled to comment on his spelling out of "as in retreat" is pathetic as well.... (can also be said about me commenting on you, but I'm covering that counter-argument )


Well, of course, depending on your view of the matter.

Kisses.

Talking Re: British Say US Is Violent, Money-Hungry, Uncultured Nation
As I see it; the main problem stems from the fact that "this ain't the Garden of Eden, and this ain't the Summer of Love".......(no cowbell please).

Really, it is disillusioning to see life as the continuum of the same old b.s. that has plagued us all since the day we were born.

Glory to the newborn king...
the high and mighty, MAC machine.

I'm sorry, one of these days we will be all turned in to primordial ooze and maybe people version 5.1 will be a better one.

I believe that the title of this thread is based upon stereotypical assumptions. Entertain me for a moment and point out in my post where you "believ" I stated that I subscribe to these notions....

On the contrary, you were stereotyping me thinking because I am an American, that I believe that crap....

over....

"thet" - typo for the word "that".

Now, since you can't understand what it means to be "American", (or at least what it used to mean before we had BushCo's fascism), I won't bother to 'splain it to ya.

No, we would just say we F@#*ed this up... Inserting the word "right" could be contradictory....

What's so funny about this isn't the negative comments about the US. Perhaps to some extent they're true. It's the fact that it's coming from the UK that's so laughable. I mean, the UK is more like the US than even Canada. If I was going to leave the US for greener pastures, it surely wouldn't be to the UK. Ireland, perhaps, but not the UK.
