    I came across this on /b/ and had to laugh.
    Dear Americans,
    why are you so ****ing stupid? You believe in god, and you teach your kids that god made the world and everyone in it. You fight pointless wars because you are too stupid to elect people who are not as stupid as you, or completely insane. You are ok with violence in your media, but a naked body is a very bad thing and must be forbidden. You destroy the environment more than any other country, even if only a small percentage of the population is American. You don't know **** about the rest of the world, not because you don't care, but because you are ****ing stupid. You don't even know where the countries are located that you are in war with. You think europe is one single country. You think India is muslim. You think World War 2 took place in France. You spend more than 50% of your tax money on the military. And the saddest thing of all is, you think this fact makes you a strong country. Guess what, it doesn't. It only shows how stupid you are once again. You have healthcare like a third world country because your country spends money on building nuclear missiles rather than helping its citizens. And the whole world laughs at you because of these things. Because you are nothing but pathetic.

    And the funny thing is this is true.

    That whole violence/sex in the media is really state to state. Oddly enough Texas was more liberal then Mass. when it came to showing sex on TV.

    As for not knowing places on the map, its because they don't have maps. At least famous people are trying to address that issue.

    Just a random observation, but I've noticed if you ask any foreign person where they are from, the will say "I'm from Poland, I'm from Spain, I'm from Germany etc." If you ask an American, they don't say "I'm from America", they say "Im from Georgia, I'm from Texas" etc.
    Wether its a result of being such a big country, or lack of information/education or whatever, they are very unaware of the world around them.
    I know one woman, a very well-educated, intelligent American woman, very sucessful carreer minded person, who really believed that there were Leprechauns living in Ireland.

    Little scary really...

    I never thought about that before, but my God, it's so true!

    I agree with Slow Motion. America bashing is fun when done well but the OP's 'find' wasn't humerous at all.

    Yawn. The amount of generalisations in this thread is astounding. I've met far more well-travelled, well-educated and open minded people from America then I have in After Hours.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,012 ✭✭✭✭thebman


    Okay not all of them think Europe is a country, some of them think its another name for the UK.

    Ah yes, Americans. It's been too long since I've had a conversation about the stupidity of some of it's people rather than hearing the usual tripe about "WAR! CAPITALISM! CONFORMISTS! OIL! EVERYONE IS FAT AND STUPID!! I'M A LAZY BASTARD WITH NO JOB LIVING OFF MY PARENTS BUT I'LL STILL INSULT AMERICANS!"

    When I was in America I was once asked had I ever heard of the sport, golf.

    My friend was once asked just a few years ago did we have elecricity yet :confused:

    It's mind-numbing how stupid some people are!!

    When I was in america I was chatting to a girl for a while, joking away etc. When she asked me why I was in America, I said, in an extremely falsetto voice "Ah sure, I'm here to find me lucky charms, have ye seen them anywhere a'tal a'tal" and she replied "Oh no, you're not fooling me with that one". Quite apart from the lack of sarcasm, clearly somebody had already fooled her with that one earlier that day.

    So have I, but the amount of Americans I have met who are, shall we say "naive", about things outside of their own country far outweighs them.

    *shrug* using exam results of something that the rest of the world ignores and the industry does as well after 5 years working. Not to mention that many people in Ireland hold good positions and never sat their LC (Bertie for example).

    Seriously get a better insult.

    Isn't there a lyric to that effect in Linkin Park: Hands Held High?
    asking you to have compassion, and have some respect
    for a leader so nervous, in an obvious way,
    Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
    and the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
    in the living room laughing like "what did he say?"

    Probably intended in reference to that Rumsfeld speech though...

    Of course so, its apart of being Irish. Americans will always be stupid.
    Amen.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭estebancambias


    So a ****ing worthless and mundaine exam which relies on pure work load is how we measure someones intelligence? Lol. I got banned from the LC forum for informing a 575 student that her spelling was deplorable, on the point of crap.

    Americans hate Europeans....Europeans hate Americans.

    They think we are pussys(general statement) we think they are all fat(general statement)

    We think they all talk with the same accent(general statement), they think all Europeans smell(general statement)


    Please people, go further into the American culture, communicate with the true Americans people rather than the Americans, who are probably from real secluded and comfortable surroundings.

    Stay away from the upper-class Americans, and converse with the lower to upper middle classes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭estebancambias


    Here is a youtuber called Moral Virus..listen to him, he is a real American. He talks about wrestling, but even if you don't like wrestling, it's still showing that not all Americans are what you think of them to be.

    David Letterman summed it up nicely on his tonight show when introducing a segment on a bubble machine which emmitted bacon scented bubbles for dogs.... "Is it any wonder the rest of the world hate us"

    Stupid americans. And before anyone starts "not all americans... blah blah blah". I have met many and the majority are knobs.

    I too was asked this question while in Boston. I said we didn't have tv, but we had a box with rats in it and we would bet on which rats would run around the box the most. And they actually beleived me :D

    On another occasion some girl asked where i was from, i said Ireland and she asked was that in Idaho, i couldn't convince here that it was not.

    Having said all that not all Amercians are dumb, but i would guess they have a higher percentage of stupid people than any other first world country.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 52 ✭✭BrotherTotz


    I worked for the last two summers in the tourist office of one of the largest attractions in Ireland (Waterford Crystal) and had to meet/talk to hundreds of Americans every week. Id have to agree with all America bashing so far in this thread when it comes to middle class Americans which are the main group that can afford/want to visit eye-r-laaand and (yes its a sweeping, general statement) honestly they are without doubt the most obnoxious and condescending group of snobs wrapped up in their own little world I’ve ever come across in my life and we had people from all over the world passing through on continuously.

    Also did meet a lot of cool younger Americans though!!

    Don't forget that there are many Americans who believe what they see in the movies.

    Many Hollywood flicks show Europe as being "old fashioned" the Garfield II film being a typical example as well as just about every Disney film set in Europe appears to be based in the 1930's.

    Even when the main character lives in modern day USA and travels to "London, England" he goes back 70 years as well!

    This is always a point thrown up when talking about Americans and while it's always good to travel and see the world it was pointed out to me once that they don't need* too. They can ski in Colorado and bask in the sunshine in Florida. America is a diverse country and with so much to see and do it's not so surprising that they get wrapped up in their own world.


    * I don't agree with this, it's always good to get outside your boarders
