Discrimination against America??

Postby Charussia » Sat Aug 01, 2009 5:43 pm

I don't know if it is just me, or does it seem alot of foreigners think the USA is just a waste of land??? ;)
Let's save the world, converting one Republican to Democrat at a time!! "We are the change we seek"-Obama


I would love a picture of that: soldiers from India raising the American flag over Jerusalem.

Not a waste of land, but a lot sure do think of us as arrogant idiots. They're probably not wrong either.

This will not end well.

On an unrelated note, America, Fuck Yeah!
IL Ruffino: The wind flows / The hair on TSI's ass glides as if airborn / Smell the freshly cut grass
Gravlen: If I can blame you? Of course I can! I mean, you're like a walking cathalyst for homosexuality, driving otherwise straight men to write haikus about your ass hair...

So it's a wonder that your presence alone in any thread don't derail them and lead to debates about world leaders and homoerotic desires.

As an American, I can say that this country is fucked. Especially when your former president says this:

"No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered as patriots. This is one nation under God.- George Bush

I don't care what Europeans think of us, or the rest of the world for that matter. They are usually right about a lot of people anyway, but not EVERYONE is an arrogant idiot. I will say that the majority of people who voted for Obama were stupid to believe everything he said. Last time I checked, we're still in Iraq and the economy is still in the trash. (Don't think I'm against the Obama lovers though, just stating a fact)

EDIT: This poll makes the U.S look worse :palm: .

He didn't say we'd be out of Iraq right now, and the economy can't be fixed by the blink of an eye. Say we had the best president possible. Then I'd estimate the economy to be back on track in two years.

Technically, a few people (maybe a half-dozen) signed it on the 4th - John Hancock being one of them.
