Why americans think they are better...

There are a few big hypocrytical points we gotta point out about Europe.

• For us entering WWII "late", you're to blame for the whole genesis of the war because you didn't keep an eye on Germany after WWI, then as the war broke out, you eventually used us as a scapegoat.
• Europe is not united as you make it out to be. There is no common language, loosely connected cultures, no common constitution, a handful of countries that joined in the past decade, very varying per capita incomes and crime rates, etc. Just because you wound up a few countries in a few ways doesn't give you the go signal to say all your achievements where this collective effort...

Yeah sure. However, that doesn't justify the way the military's been implemented in recent years. or the fact that the United States has a larger military expenditure than the European Union (population=495 million)espoac

A lot of the expenditures is r & d. I'd rather spend the money on the military than the arts.

than everyone else?

Why some people think US is the greatest county or best?

I dont understand.. I always knew US is a bad place to live in?

I live in Belgium(EU). And I never undertood it, all the movies about "freedom" and "democracy" who really buy's that load of crap?

what freedom you got that we dont have? you can use guns? no thanks Ill pass on that one.

1. Never knew that freedom was a bad thing

2. oops

3. wow... again I never thought being able to do whatever you want was bad.

I don't brag about my country being better than yours, but ya know there are some countries who don't have freedom alright and the U.S is here to help change that. Sure some, if not most of our ideals are crazy, psychaotic, if not pointless, we still try our best to get farther.I really love it when people who have never really lived in the country that they're ripping on decide to just make fin of it without knowing very much. As for the guns thing... yeah man whatever.

it's a figure of speech. Of course you can't do ANYTHING you want it's morally impossible and literally too. Why? No one has the capacity to kill someone, have sex, snort drugs, do whatever they want, people want direction in their lives no matter what anyone says. You can't be free technically, which goes without saying that we can do a lot of what other people can't. As for morally, do you see yourself doing drugs every signle day for your entire life, without having to do anything? There are natural laws that humans must follow, and doing things that we preceive as fun everyday just can't be done.

In fact I was. You kinda ruined it though. I was just waiting for someone to point out how wrong that view was just so I could turn their statement right back on them.....

Nobody used the US a scapegoat in WW2.

No-one claims that the EU is like the US states.

Got no idea what you're on about.

America is not the best country in the world, I dont think any country can realy take that title. I also think that people who go out of their way to be (patriotic) are somewhat mistaken. But americas greatness and positions amongst its peers cannot be denied. This is a great country and is a leading influence in todays world. Sure we have had some mishaps, Especialy lately with that moron in the white house.. but that can be fixed.... America is a world leader in important fields like economics , Industry, and Military might. Its a great place to live in and many freedoms can be enjoyed here just like alot of other countries around the world. Its a country rich in resources and with plenty of oportunities for those of its citizens that are smart enough to take advantage of them. Thats not to say It doesnt have its faults,many of which draw resentment and hate from people in other countries especialy those less fortunate ones.

America is a great country, but it is eroding thanx to a combination of factors...mostly due to 1) President currently in office

2) Misguided youths not giving a @#%% about their education and futures

3) OVEREXPANDED CAPITALISM/consumerism.....it seems our corporations have finaly started working against the people...looking for ways to squeeze every last cent out of us. Outsourcing jobs..cause its cheaper to build and assemble thing out of the us ...ITS PROFITT AT ANY EXPENSE>>>>>>>>>>>>>

4)The whole bling n rehabculture..way too much enphasis on how much the clothes you wear cost what brands you wear, Being fashionable...we get this influence pushed down our throats constantly...MTV magazines, TV in general, Reality TV..Its all GARBAGE but our younger generations seem tothrive off of it....Its rotting our brains,,,

]And I'm sure they'd all object strongly to extra federal funding :roll:espoac

They get funding...they don't use it wisely plus discipline is hard to maintain since parents want to sue for every little thing.:roll:

The space program pointless? Eh, good thing the advancment of the human race isn't up to you, mate. If the space program was pointless then every archaelogical achievment was pointless, AND every discovery made concerning animal life.

I think that's a bit of an overstatement. I really don't see that many people influenced by the crap on television. They watch reality TV for entertainment, and nothing more.

Errr... Maybe I missed the point, but I wanted to feel smart by saying something. :P

Well the thing with out military, is yes, stupid. I feel we have had this mentality that the more the military spending, the less terrorists and enemies would want to attack us. But the truth is that's the exact opposite. If we don't spend nearly as much on the military, no one would have reasons to attack us and won't feel threatened (even if they had misconceptions). It was kind of shocking really that Rudy Guilliani recently said something like "if we keep spending on the military, rogue countries like China and Russia won't want to risk attacking us". So yeah I have to agree so many of our leaders are dillusional with foreign policy.

well if youre watching an american movie..chances are, you'd find something about american national pride. :S and im not american.

yeah ok your generalizing because i for one think the U,S isn't better than anyone other country,

plus its called patriotism

However, we are soooooooooooo close to being better.

I think the point of the military is more along the lines of If we keep spending money on the military, rogue countries like china will get wtfpwned if they attack us.

On a serious note, the only thing I consider better about America is our military. Regardless, America is a great place to live and doesn't deserve kids going on about the military being "bad", americans being cockyand whatnot, because in today's cuthroat war a military is a necessary thing. America just goes above and beyond. Our systems are bad, but where theres a will theres a reform.

To the Tc: You may try asking in a nicer manner, instead of bluntly generalizing all the Americans as Patriotic extermists.

You could at least say thanks for liberating your country first. :roll:
