Americans Are A Disgrace

    Americans treat ignorance like it's good, no wonder they're in a hole.

    They're the strongest? No, they just spend the most on weapons. They're getting their @ss kicked in Iraq, because unlike them lazy slobs who cheer from their keyboard, others are willing to bleed for their country. As they should - America shouldn't be there.

    They're rich? Bull****. Most European states are richer than America, and don't have to worry about medical insurance. Notice the dollar plummeting lately? It's because their leaders since Reagan have sold the country to other countries - that's what deficit spending really means.

    And they can't save either - they've spent all their equity on SUVs and designer clothes, and wonder why they work more than any other nation. No wonder why the motor industry is going under. Oh, and did you know that except for the top 10%, the income of Americans has been going down since 1977? Of course you didn't, because America is too busy watching E! and Paris Hilton to realize how badly they're being duped.

    Their Freedoms? Pfft - since Habeus Corpus was revoked America has no rights. None, except for the Patriot Act which makes them feel safer, correct? They feel safer with people invading their privacy? Freedom of speech doesn't mean sh!t when they can just throw you in jail, morons. Americans don't deal with reality at all.

    I laugh at Americans who honestly think their country is the 'best and most powerful in the world,' and that they've 'saved people's @ss' (Zionist filth they are) in all these different wars. This is a perfect example of why Russia is going to laugh so hard when the dollar fails as a currency and America collapses like the nonentity it is.

    Europe built America. America's founding fathers were European, take your pick, John Adams or Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton and practically every other noteworthy man was of European blood. Europeans discovered them. And all this talk about "I'm an American, man!"...so you're a native Cherokee, who were made fools of by Europeans?

    They speak our languages, English, albeit in a mongrel form, Spanish, in fact, all of the Americas do, both North and South...French in Canada, Portuguese in Brazil etc. America's national anthem was written by an Englishman, America uses European law, practically everything that's "good" in their 'country' came from "The Old World" continent, and everything that's negative came out of their depraved collective of inferior minds, our "New World" - evolution exists people... but that's what happens when you coexist with Negroids for 400 years and bring in immigrants from the inferior parts of Earth, displacing the original Nordic majority. Their entire existence is younger than the Roman civilization.

    Their founding fathers fought to escape the tyranny of what they have become. They were too stupid to elect Ron Paul, now they can enjoy the last of their days as a First World country.


    **American invention of the P.C**

    The computer was invented by Europeans.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_babbage

    "Charles Babbage, FRS (December 26, 1791 London, England – October 18, 1871 Marylebone, London, England) was an English mathematician, philosopher, inventor and mechanical engineer who originated the concept of a programmable computer."

    **You use the American invention of the internet**

    Wrong again, also invented in Europe.

    "Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee OM KBE FRS FREng FRSA (born 8 June 1955) is an English computer scientist credited with inventing the World Wide Web. He was ranked Joint First alongside Albert Hofmann in The Telegraph's list of 100 greatest living geniuses."


    And they have the audacity to challenge our beliefs, our economic position and our democracy? Oh please...

    As a Paddy in America. Yep, we're in a hole alright.
    Where I live:
    I pay €1.67 for a GALLON of gas. With the incentives going on at the moment, you can get a brand new car for around €5 1/2 grand.
    I live in a warm climate and pay around €20 per month on Electric (including AC).
    I go swimming every second day in the pool at our complex.
    Every week, I go to free concerts in the park and free movies under the stars in the Town Square.
    The farmers market every few days never to seem to get rained out.
    I can make plans and pretty much know that the weather won't wreck them.
    I have a quality of life here that makes Ireland look like a third world country.
    We don't have a litter problem.
    If there is an assault, someone will get arrested and end up in court.
    We have no chavs or travelers making our lives miserable.
    There are plenty of jobs around here for those who want them.
    Oh yeah, and people are nice.
    Yep, some hole alright.

    They're the strongest?

    Yes.

    I have noticed that american girls seem to be heavier built than european girls. I'm not talking about fat. It seems to be their general build. American girls who I would not classify as "fat" still seem heavier than Irish girls of equal fatness.

    It seems to me that Irish girls are just of a slighter build than American girls. I'm jumping to the conclusion that it's because of the hormones in their meat products.

    The same thing is probably true for guys, but i don't spend my time checking out guys so i wouldn't know :D.

    He's happier where he is, and is stating facts to illustrate why. Seems reasonable enough to me. Not painting it as some kind of "utopia", just illustrating his reasons for preferring it. Not a big deal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,945 ✭✭✭D-Generate


    America is a cracking place to live in when you are young and up until you have kids. Ireland is probably a better place to raise kids though.
    Its a pretty fantastic spot and if the OP opened his mind a little bit and maybe spent time there they would soon be singing a different song.

    Every society has its ills and sure America has its fair share but so does Ireland and most other European countries. We have had systematic abuse by the church. Britain, France, Spain, Portugal Holland and Belgium raped the developing world and then as we move east we enter that whole Holocaust arena. So OP are you self loathing of our society too?

    Oh and America does have free speech and if you read up a little you would find that free speech is not a right in this country.

    Only thing I don't like about the place is the fact that they don't have a great sense of humour and they also don't understand the concept of rounds in a pub. Other than that its A-OK by me.

    The Allies had already pushed the Nazi's back before America even got involved. They wouldn't of even entered the war if Pearl Harbour remained intact.

    Yeah and the Soviets wouldn't have either if they didn't get attacked. At least America did something unlike Ireland.
    They're the strongest? No, they just spend the most on weapons. They're getting their @ss kicked in Iraq, because unlike them lazy slobs who cheer from their keyboard, others are willing to bleed for their country. As they should - America shouldn't be there.

    Ok, so you hate America because they aren't willing to walk into a mosque and blow themselves up? But you admire Iraqis because a minority of them are willing to become suicide bombers? And spending the most on weapons/weapon development does make them the strongest.

    Or maybe you should hate Iraqis because of Saddam Hussein?
    They're rich? Bull****. Most European states are richer than America, and don't have to worry about medical insurance. Notice the dollar plummeting lately? It's because their leaders since Reagan have sold the country to other countries - that's what deficit spending really means.

    Nearly all countries are in serious debt. As for Medical Insurance, people in Europe pay for it through tax. Whether you pay for it through tax or insurance, its the same. This idea that its somehow free in Scandinavia is absolute b****x.

    Their standards of living are among the highest in the world. I'd rather be born there than any country which is America's enemy,
    And they can't save either - they've spent all their equity on SUVs and designer clothes, and wonder why they work more than any other nation. No wonder why the motor industry is going under. Oh, and did you know that except for the top 10%, the income of Americans has been going down since 1977? Of course you didn't, because America is too busy watching E! and Paris Hilton to realize how badly they're being duped.

    Applies to all the Western World. And if you wanted to stereotype people, you could replace "watching E! and Paris Hilton" in that sentence with "worshipping Allah" and you'd get the middle east, where people's lives are being controlled by their government yet they blame all their problems on America and Isreal.
    Their Freedoms? Pfft - since Habeus Corpus was revoked America has no rights. None, except for the Patriot Act which makes them feel safer, correct? They feel safer with people invading their privacy? Freedom of speech doesn't mean sh!t when they can just throw you in jail, morons.

    Doesn't happen in practice. And there is way more Freedom of Speech than in most countries which are America's enemies. (North Korea, Sudan, Cuba, etc.)
    Europe built America. America's founding fathers were European, take your pick, John Adams or Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton and practically every other noteworthy man was of European blood. Europeans discovered them. And all this talk about "I'm an American, man!"...so you're a native Cherokee, who were made fools of by Europeans?

    All those people considered themselves American; and current Americans are descended from the same people. You are the one making a distinction between these. Often there families have been in America centures....that makes them American. If you ignore that logic, then we are all African.
    They speak our languages, English, albeit in a mongrel form, Spanish, in fact, all of the Americas do, both North and South...French in Canada, Portuguese in Brazil etc. America's national anthem was written by an Englishman, America uses European law, practically everything that's "good" in their 'country' came from "The Old World" continent, and everything that's negative came out of their depraved collective of inferior minds, our "New World" - evolution exists people... but that's what happens when you coexist with Negroids for 400 years and bring in immigrants from the inferior parts of Earth, displacing the original Nordic majority. Their entire existence is younger than the Roman civilization.

    What the f*** are you talking about? As for depraved minds...there are depraved minds in every country....America doesn't have a monopoly on depraved minds.

    There was no one person invented the PC or the Internet, there are loads of steps in both; some by Americans, some not. I would argue the most important invention along the way was the transistor which was invented by Americans.

    Of course you can. But I better mention that I'm paying about €400 a month for the place, and it has a junior Olympic size pool, and in ground jacuzzi for 10, steam baths, a huge state-of-the-art gym, and a 2 mile walking trail around the lakes and wooded areas of the complex. But I will warn you though that the apartments are made of concrete, so the soundproofing is such that you cannot hear your neighbours.

    It's the American media who are brainwashing the general public into believing whatever the Government want them to. The powers that be are curving the truth and George Bush never got that crucial Florida vote, it's a disgrace.

    And what about the fact that George Bush had very low approval ratings? He was never popular in the big cities. The general public are not brainwashed, there is as much Democrat media as there is republican media. Look at most of Americas enemies and you will see people brainwashed by their leader - only state media for example.

    As for all Americans you've met hating Muslims - did you walk into a KKK convention by any chance, because otherwise that is a complete lie. I've met plenty of Americans who have nothing against Muslims. I've also met plenty of Muslims who have nothing against Americans. I've also met some Muslims who hate Americans due to what they see on tv. And I'm sure there probably are some Americans who hate Muslims. There is a small amount of hatred on both sides.

    But if they hated them as much as you say they do I doubt they would have voted for someone whos father was a muslim.

    As for that healthcare comment... you're really trying to Hold an Irish hospital up to a US one? I'd still take our healthcare problems over yours any day. As skewed as both systems may be in their own ways.

    They're getting their @ss kicked in Iraq, because unlike them lazy slobs who cheer from their keyboard, others are willing to bleed for their country.

    Question on the logic here...

    If the US is getting its @ss kicked in Iraq, (a statement I do not think accurate, but anyway), then that would presumably be indicated by the 4,300 or so US personnel so far who have lost their lives in Iraq. I find it difficult to comprehend quite how they were killed whilst sitting behind a keyboard, as you theorise.

    OK, I'm sure one or two of them were just unlucky enough to have a rocket land on top of their office or something, but certainly not all 4,000+.
    I pay €1.67 for a GALLON of gas. With the incentives going on at the moment, you can get a brand new car for around €5 1/2 grand.

    You go for your el cheapo car. I'm going for the other extreme. Were I still in Ireland, I wouldn't be owning an S-4 Cabrio and looking to purchase a CTS-V to go with it. Even if I could afford the fuel bill or the tax bill, the Irish car insurance companies would laugh me right back out of the country. Life is, of course, not about toys, but I certainly have a lot more of the toys I like in the US than I would in Ireland. As they say, money can't buy you happiness.. but it's a great down payment!
    I've never met an American who wasn't against Muslims in one way or another because of what they've seen on TV or heard through some biased bullcrap dictating their very thoughts.

    Howdy! I'm Nick, and I am not against muslims. Born in California, and one of those Americans too busy cheering from behind a keyboard to be out bleeding... (checks my location)... Never mind. But I'm pleased to meet you anyway.

    Americans treat ignorance like it's good, no wonder they're in a hole.

    They're the strongest? No, they just spend the most on weapons.
    To show how much goes to weapons

    In dollars
    USA 651,163 Million Population 300M
    European Union 312,259 Million Population 500M
    China 70,132 Million Population 1.3B
    Russia 39,600 Million Population 140M
    Ireland 1,300 Million Population 4M
    Source

    As you can see US spends twice as much as EU, which is much larger and almost 10 times that of China or about 20 times that of Russia.
    Graph

    US tax dollar, 42.2 cent goes towards the military complex, with 28.7 for the current war, 10 cents on interests from present and past military debt, and 3.5 on veterans. The high amount of money the American Government spends on military equals 48% of the World’s military spending and also makes a record high.

    True but as evidence by the 2 Akula-Sharks patrolling the East Coast this week, if we had dulled our spending policies when USSR collapsed, it would have only been an invitation for them or someone else to play catch up, and start a dangerous power struggle all over again, that would and/or will lead to another Missile Crisis.

    American media have society on the brink of schizophrenia. People bought hundreds upon thousands of guns after 9/11 and prepared for war. It all seems like something from the next Hollywood action film - the idiocy of it all is just too much to bare.

    Meanwhile George Bush is getting more wealthy the longer the U.S stays in the middle east because of his shares in the American ammunition and firearms industry long after his Presidency has ended, the same seat of power he used to start this little game of chess and fool the public into thinking we were entering the Apocalypse.

    Sadly, those very "terrorists" have been confirmed alive and well eight years after supposedly taking down two of the worlds largest buildings and killing 2,000 people in the process via passenger plane. Luckily enough, they managed to throw their passports out the windows before that fatal crash so everyone could identify them as the culprits. :rolleyes:

    Unbeknown to the American public, the same man who bought the Twin Towers a few months previously, had them insured for billions for not one, but two acts of terror, lucky him.

    In fairness, if you were the US president and you had most of the people demanding that you "Go get them" after 9/11 what would you have done?
    he used to start this little game of chess and fool the public into thinking we were entering the Apocalypse.

    When did he do this? I assume by extension Barack Obama fooled the public into thinking he was the Anti-Christ?

    What's so much better about Ireland than the US anyway, if anything?

    Look, I'm sure it's great to moan about the world's most influential country from time to time, but let's put it into perspective here.

    Well, as much as I dislike Americas more stupid policies/warmongering I still prefer them to the yellow or red alternative.
    And for Americans buying guns, as long as they kill each other off I don't see a problem for us.

    You're going to want to go ahead and check out this place. They'll supply a white coat with funny sleeves, but you can bring your own if you like. Tinfoil hats are of course complimentary.

    If that were true the Media would have been playing this Akula story like it was Armageddon. In fact you'd be hard pressed to find it in the headlines.

    quite well known in fact.

    so too is it known that multiple threats were aimed at the towers. Not to mention the actual terrorist attack in the 90s. And that one threat, which turned out to be very real, was fallably dismissed by the pentagon as 'not gonna happen'. A mistake theyve been paying for internally and with the american peoples confidence ever since.

    As for your lad who bought the towers. If I had two towers, and one had been struck by a terrorist attack years prior, wouldnt I insure it against further terrorist attacks?

    :rolleyes:

    See:

    The Obama Deception. You may watch it on Youtube. It's a fascinating documentary.

    I recall an interview with Ron Pauls brother about the deception in America today - very hardhitting stuff. Open your eyes and come to your own conclusions.

    We're not really going to give this thread the benefit of another home here on boards.
    OP there is a conspiracy theories forum you could try and get banned from.
