As an American, I've really gotten tired of the criticism.
"You don't have universal health care." "You're all a bunch of trigger-happy gun lovers." "You built your country on slavery and the slaughter of Native Americans."
Did you forget about your monarchs who killed their 17 year old wives for not producing a male child? Did you forget about your psycho leaders who slaughtered Jews? Did you forget about the slave ships you built? The crusades you waged?
Oh, and here we Americans go again -- funding the end of yet another one of your ridiculous wars. Why? So you can turn around and criticize us for being the greatest country on Earth? Seriously, we're a super power. We don't need free health care. And yes, if some foreign invaders come over here starting some crap, we will pull out our guns.
Now, go ahead and get yourself some Starbucks coffee and sit there on your American invention called the internet and go ahead and criticize me.America owns you

Can we just get this straight once and for all? The Internet is an American invention. So, please for the love of God, go to your medieval castles and criticize us on parchment paper or whatever makes you feel better: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet

After consulting with American intelligence, I have become painfully aware that the criticism from Europe is, in fact, a desperate cry for help. Do not be afraid, we will start to fix your broken health care system and attempt something like the 2nd Amendment for the EU in Q3.

Today this European girl said that Europeans forage for that food like Neanderthals.
Ok, use your mobile phone to order food like normal people.
Why do Europeans criticize America even though their own countries have a dark past?
As a German/American who has lived and studied in both countries, I'd choose Germany over the US any day. That is not to say there aren't things I like about the US. For example, I notice I smile a lot more in the US. Sounds stupid, but it's true. I tend to have a lot more friendly conversations with random people, while in Germany people are less approachable in general. I also like the existence of Barnes&Noble, as there is no similar store in Germany that offers a good variety of books in English language. This may not seem significant, but it is a big deal for me.
However, I have more negative experiences. First of all, the local news never fails to disappoint with a new homicide every few weeks. Then there's also the bigger homicide cases, such as the recent shooting in Buffalo. It's honestly ridiculous in my opinion. Yes, you can have your gun rights, but don't expect others to not critize such a controversial topic.
Second, the whole Democrats/Republicans situation has gone so out of hand that I cannot take people seriously anymore. I cannot respect people who can only view things in terms of liberal and conservative, as if there is no in between. Just a bunch of blind idiots pointing fingers at each other. Obviously not all Americans are guilty of this, but the loud ones are enough to thoroughly ruin the image of the rest.
Third, the religious fanatics in the US are out of control. Why can't I visit my University classes without being called a "sinful masturbator"? The place is literally crawling with fanatics. It's fine if you want to practice your religion, but don't lurk around in a place meant for education and start yelling insults at people. Again, maybe this is fine for a lot of people, and that's OK, but for me it's just another reason to not live there.
Fourth is the patriotism. Patotism is completely fine, don't get me wrong, but it's not my cup of tea. I interned at an elementary school once, and found it very off-putting that they worshipped the American flag every morning before class and that I was expected to participate. The one time I didn't, they looked at me as if I had committed treason. I imagine that's how it feels like to be pressured into a cult. Of course, I've only experienced that one elementary school, so I don't know if that's the norm.
@Peanut38 Welcome to the US of A. We do not care if our money says in GOD WE TRUST. We do not care if as a child we Pledge Our Allegiance. You don't like our Anthem? We really don't care. It's not a cult. If you want to live in Germany. That's your choice. You want to be a butt hurt individual? We don't care if you rub one out. Religion is as religion does.
@Peanut38 You are correct in so many regards. Division with Dems/Repubs is on PURPOSE. When you settle nicely, you will find, no one gives a flying fuck if you rub one out or enjoy porn. Our freedom for religion is something you should take a hold of. Our Patriotism knows no bounds. When, as a non religious person, I say I don't care about what my money says, and I sure as hell don't care about Pledging the Allegiance. I mean it. I don't care if you feel offset about "US" or oossa making you feel as if you part of a cult. It is not that. It is pure PRIDE. Coming off of PRIDE month? I don't give a shit. That was a long fucking month. If you are BUTT HURT. Then be BUTT HURT. We have that much fucking pride. We don't feel the same for your Country? Get bent.
No one, and I mean no one. Gives a shit about my being Agnostic. No one. If you get looks? Because you don't salute the fucking flag? Stop crying. If I entered your "country?" And was being a douche I wouldn't cry? I would salute your fucking flag. I would act as I should.
@Peanut38 You smile more in the US? Fancy that. The biggest country where you can be your own person. Everywhere. EVERYWHERE. Isn't that the epitome of something great?
I'm European. I've been to the US many times. I criticize Americans because they're nothing. Uneducated, ignorant, arrogant. The big mouthed bullies of the school yard.
Greatest country in the world? No. That'd be China. Minus nuclear weapons by man power alone in a war they can crush America like an ant. I mean look at American military (the military robot "dog") & humanoid robotics - looks like shit someone puked out of a garage compared to Asiatic robotics.
You have no culture of your own - shooting guns & boozing it up isn't culture. It's why you're utterly pathetic - salivating like rabid dogs - about the color of someone's skin or if "mixed" whereas in Europe it's where you're from, your culture, etc that means more.
You have no food of your own - most of your food produce is a mockery of European - pizza for example, you'd never find 95% of the garbage Americans call pizza in authentic Italy-based restaurants (rather focaccia) - is or a watered down shitty version (like most of your beers, compared to UK or European beers your beers are shit).
China is the greatest? Is that why the global currency is the Dollar and not the Yuan? Why they’re still welding their denizens in their homes because of a flu? Why they can’t have free and fair elections?
I’d be happy to educate you, but you’re a chickenshit who posts anonymously because you’re afraid of people knowing who you are. At least have the courage to put your name to your opinions.
China is pretty far behind the US when it comes to technology as far as military. They aren't nearly as mobile as the US and definitely do not have the conventional missile capability. In a conventional war, China wouldn't win. Not to say they aren't making advances. Sorry to hurt your feelings.
@Slingblade1126 China would throw 100 thousand guys in the chopper box. I think because the US has gotten lazy and Generals too cozy with China that they could beat US if they invaded by surprise
@888theGreat they couldn't invade by surprise. We have satellite capabilities that can show us the kind of toilet paper they wipe their asses with. China's military is no more advanced or capable than Russia's. In fact, in some areas, Russia is actually more advanced. We all see how well Russia is doing.
@Agagagagaga ROFL. What does my being anonymous having to do with you educating me on America? Well aside from the fact you're full of shit like most Americans are.
@lofii Yet being anonymous I got a bunch of douchebag loser Americans with the combined IQ of a toad excited. How pathetic your country is & how pathetic are you that you cry like a whore about the options of a stranger?
@Slingblade1126 Keep telling yourself America is great & knows much of anything. It's a shithole country full of shitful people. A mockery & laughing stock. COVID so MANY countries laughed until the people were crying about you stupid Americans and stockpiling toilet paper instead of actual food. Pointing & laughing at the STUPID Americans.
Lmao! I don't have to think how great my country is. As I posted already, I don't give Europe a second thought. You're insignificant. Jesus Christ, California has a bigger economy than almost everyone of your countries. Sorry but I don't care what you think of the US.
@Slingblade1126 - California? With all the homeless people? With the liberals stealing your liberties left, right and center? ROFL. California, like the rest of the US, is a shithole. Weak kneed, spineless and as valueless as a horse's shit... I mean why else do I have so many loser Americans like you up in arms over an anonymous post? If your country was so great... you'd have a pair of fucking balls and not care what others think you pathetic American mongrel.
Sorry, I never said I cared if you post anon. That's your obvious psychosis getting in the way of reality. Again, tell someone who cares. You're guys are a speck of dust. You're nothing on the world stage. You sound like a jealous child.
You're the one ranting. Lmao!! And it only makes you look jealous and envious. By the way, the Euro is second to the USD on the global market. Someone as smart as you should know that. Lol ha ha ha
@Slingblade1126 Are you still responding? I am merely using you for amusement sake & proving the fact you're weak. I mean Americans whine about freedom of speech. Yet when someone says something you don't like... you bitch a whore.
Oh, trust me! I'm enjoying this more than you! I have four people looking over my shoulder, while drinking some Southern Comfort, laughing at you! Keep it coming. Sunday FUNDAY!!!
Lol! What? Your brain is so fried you are making absolutely no sense! Or is it the "Green eyes of jealousy"? What is really pathetic, is it took you almost 15min to come up with that! Lol!!! Keep it coming! Sunday FUNDAY.
@Slingblade1126 Unlike you I have a life & am not clinging to GAG desperately looking for responses. ROFL. As I said you are nothing more than amusement. Pathetic at that. But when bored even a twit can be used as entertainment.
Lmao!!! Yeah, I almost believe that. This is your life! You just don't have a quick wit like I do. And I've been drinking! Lmao! Keep it coming! Sunday FUNDAY.
Oh, WOW!!! That was amazing! It has been fun but I actually do have a life. Everyone is getting bored with me conversing with a retard. Off to a baseball game we go! By the way, I'm married, ya weirdo!!
China? So greatness is determined by availability of cheap labor? And stealing intellectual property? You sound a bit thick yourself.
And Americans consume less alcohol than Europeans per capita, genius.
Obviously your idea of American food is based on fast-food places, not exactly representative.
And American beer is now the best in the world. Not the mass-market shit that apparently makes up your consumption, but the microbreweries that are now everywhere, and are now being copied all over the world.
You seem to have derived you ideas about American culture from 30 year old TV programs.
Anon! You're BlackBeauty!! Ha Ha Ho Ho He He!!! This is fun!! You know how I could tell? #1) You're packing nothing but a filthy mouth. Absolutely no intelligence. #2) You spelled "option" instead of "opinion" about half a dozen times. #caught#
interesting perspective, food for thought. why you getting trashed. fair to say, depending where one goes. but yea, too many are pathetic, we lost our class, style, values. we're about wealth, money, creativity, ingenuity, creative destruction. We produce a lot of food. But we destroy the land doing it. stay in Europe and build a wall to keep us out...
Dear god, spare us your arrogant, ignorant, ranting and raving. Half of the rest of the planet now lives here, to get away from the hell hole they were living in. How could WE have an American culture, when we are forced to entertain every other culture on the planet?
I feel like this anon sounds like the Iron Sheik from 80s WWF with the slurs. If anyone knows what I'm referring to it's quite hilarious. Iron Sheik is that you?
Clearly the opinion owner had no budget when she came to America and for entertainment she spread her slutty legs for some gang bangers and they took her out to eat at Pizza Hut. Because she has no awareness whatsoever what it means to be an American, or has never heard of M. I. T., Harvard, Yale, Brown, Stanford. And has no awareness that this is the country where things were invented such as personal computers, Internet, flight, photography, file the digital circuitry which she uses to feel better about her meager existence. Oh yeah, we're so stupid --that's why we're the wealthiest and most powerful and influential nation on the planet. Boo hoo for your pathetic little medieval-looking shithole. If you hate America so much, then you should go use someone else's invention to display the poverty of your soul.
it's good you posted this anonymously to hide how ignorant you are, china will collapse in 10 years. they are poorer than ethiopians, they don't have enough food, they are in blackouts in most parts of china and the government is locking them down because... their homemade vaccines don't work
enjoy getting raped by the muslim invaders european
Your logic is so bull shit and idiotic, I have expect you to blow shit up here. Every time you come over here you are doing practice runs. The most but hurt of bastards that ever walk this earth.
Who are the "big mouthed bullies of the school yard?" Looks to me like it's the Eurotrash who can't stop running her mouth. You can thank America for the fact that you aren't expressing your idiotic ideas with sticks and stones, you fucking Neanderthal.
Once someone falsely claims that the Euro is "world currency" and actually believes that delusion, it's time to stop smoking bones the size of telephone poles. There's a difference between casually using marijuana and being a pothead.
As the economy goes in the United States, so goes the world economy. That's just Basic Finance 101. Meanwhile, Europe leads the world in exporting Monkey Pox.
@NYCQuestions1976 ROFL. China you moronic uneducated swine holds that power, in comparison America has nothing but peanuts as an economy. Don't you know if the world was to call in the DEBT America owes you'd be slitting your wrists AND your throats to escape.
I cannot continue to waste my valuable time explaining world economics to someone who has a bowl of cereal in her head and maneuvers through the English language like a moronic drooling balloon-headed fool.
Like I said, you probably came to the U. S. a couple of times, spread your whore legs for some gangstas beneath the Jersey Turnpike, afterwards they took your whore ass to Pizza Hut, now you think the entire U. S. is a bunch of gun shooting gangstas who eat cheap pizza. Your opinion counts about as much as any other monkey-pox ridden Eurotrash whore.
@Asker My last post/sentence was grammatically coherent and correct, as is this following sentence: It's not my fault that your school district failed you by failing to fail you, thus making you a failure at life.
@bean2k21 - you're trash. There is no denying that. Vermin. The response you made to someone else's comment was as pathetic as you. I bet you can't get it up without a dick in your ass & another in your mouth.
@Slingblade1126 What are you blubbering about? You have constantly sounded like a retard throughout this entire conversation. Do you possess an IQ above 60? Or am I being generous by giving you double digits?
@Slingblade1126 What "material". You have not said anything worth repeating. And by the way I am not that poster I asked a friend on GAG to post. To prove you're worthless. Just like Bean the dickslapper is.
Lmao!! You are absolutely, 100% bat shit crazy! Yeah, okay. You asked a "friend". I believe you are crazy enough to believe that. Did another "friend" happen to give an anonymous opinion? Wow! How many personalities do you have? Are you on medication for your psychosis?
@Slingblade1126 Recovery from what? You, @bean2k21 & @NYCQuestions1976 have consistently proven why Europeans think Americans are stupid, ignorant, and uneducated. The country of ignoramuses and beached whales with the highest welfare in any western country.
Fantastic... if you're good for nothing welfare trash which you three very likely are.
@Slingblade1126 You said - Lmao!! You are absolutely, 100% bat shit crazy! Yeah, okay. You asked a "friend". I believe you are crazy enough to believe that. Did another "friend" happen to give an anonymous opinion? Wow! How many personalities do you have? Are you on medication for your psychosis?
PrettyLittleLady isn't anonymous you braindead idiot.
I mean what have @bean2k21 @Slingblade1126@NYCQuestions1976 & @888thegreat done? Hmm. Do you write intelligently? No. Like any good welfare trash that has never graduated high school since the start all you have done is insulted my post.
None of you have contributed anything of any intelligence. You're much like vermin. Can't get rid of... keep coming back and fouling up the place.
And you proved there is a HUGE mental health problem in Europe. Did you know you're no longer anonymous on this opinion? I'm thinking your obvious psychosis has you confused! I'm still laughing about, "I asked a GAG friend"! I just hope calling you out on you mental health issues doesn't put you even further over the edge! You can't afford to become even more crazy.
You truly are a retard! Aprettylittlelady87 is YOU! Not only did you post that question but YOU used another one of your personalities to give an anonymous opinion. Follow along, retard. It's not complicated if you're sane and have some brains.
@BlackBeauty90 Let me get this straight. You want me to respond intelligently to the fact that you visited America a few times and are upset that 95% of the pizza places are owned by corporations that target idiots like you? You want me to respond intelligently to the fact that your make generalizations about the American people because you are too mentally ill to create a logical thought or too frustrated that you can identify a singular culture in a land that is not unknown for being a cultural melting pot? You want me to respond intelligently to the fact that you think China is better than America because they can "crush America like an ant". Ok, maybe I should also respond intelligently to the dog shit in my front yard, and pick it up and put it in a shit bag and throw the shit bag in a boat and send it to Europe to be with the rest of the dog shit.
@bean2k21 - ROFL. Wherever did I say I just visited the United States dimwit? I *live* in the United States. Except for immigrants & 1st to 3rd generation offspring you're nothing. You have no culture. As a country, you're so uneducated & ignorant that as one very easy example only 30% of you actually know how many levels of government exist > yubanet.com/.../
WHAT culture do *you* have? Drinking beer? Shooting guns? Come along. If America's so great STOP taking credit for other people's work, culture, etc. - immigrants & what not - and PROVE you're great.
Jesus Christ, you are fucking stupid! There is 3 BRANCHES of government. It was right there in front of you and you still got it wrong! By the way, I see you deleted bean2k21's opinion on your other post. You know, the one I called you out on? Oops! I mean your "friends" post. Lmao
@Slingblade1126 ROFL. What are you blubbering about mongrel? I didn't delete any posts. All I know is Bean the Moron has been posting here.
And it's Americans that don't know there are 3 levels of government in the country. Like you wouldn't have if you didn't open the link. yubanet.com/.../
BRANCHES are different than LEVELS. You mean branches of government. Legislative, judiciary and executive. Levels are, Federal, state, local. I'm not going to attack you for that mistake.
@BlackBeauty90 You said "I'm European. I've been to the US many times." Now you are telling me you live in the U. S. Apparently the only place you *live* is under a rock, troll.
@bean2k21 - Are you dumb? I purposely said that. To prove what & how many Europeans view you Americans and you & your birdbrain friends played beautifully into it. Your ignorance, nasty demeaning personalities, sense of inferiority, and uneducated personas couldn't be a more perfect example of the generic belief of about Americans and WHY there are Americans when they travel will wear Canadian flags on their clothing & luggage to avoid the stigma of being American.
If I said I was living in America you wouldn't have whined so much.
@BlackBeauty90 Are you having a stroke or some other sort of mental health emergency? In the first two sentences of your original answer on this thread you posted, "I'm European. I've BEEN TO the US many times." You didn't use the words "LIVE IN". In this context, "been to" means "visited". So you either don't live here, or you don't have a proper command of the English language. Which one is it? I believe it's probably both. You're so balls-deep in your own raving stupidity that you can't keep your shit straight.
@Slingblade1126 Levels/branches. Tomato vs tomatoe. If you weren't such a stupid uneducated American you'd realize that it is actually different in other countries. Moron.

Jesus Christ, woman! You are beyond fucking hope! Your brain is so delusioned, you can't keep your lies and personalities straight! You really do need help. This isn't even funny anymore. Well, maybe it is a little funny but your lies and delusions are actually frightening.
Okay, retard, levels are NOT the same! Levels show tiers of government, branches shows equalness of government. Show me a link where the branches of government are called levels. You are a disgrace to Sweden? Isn't that where you are from? Retard!
@BlackBeauty90 So your defense to being accused of being stupid is claiming that you're a liar and/or manipulator instead? Fascinating.
Regardless, you're not living here... and if you are living here, you didn't grow up here. On your other "Anonymous" answer on that "other user's" question, you spelled "favor" with a "u".
Give it up already. You're swinging above your league. Stand down or I'll intellectually destroy and embarrass you even more.

I don't hunt but I have prosecuted pathology liars like you for over twenty years! When their lies, deception and lack of intelligence catch up to them what do they do? Create an elaborate story to really make themselves look good but the reality is, a five year old wouldn't believe it. Get help, BlackBeauty90, you're going down the wrong path. Seriously!

I am witnessing a complete mental breakdown. You keep posting the same nonsense over and over again. I'm actually cringing when I read you psychotic ramblings trying to make yourself this amazingly intelligent person. The reality is none of what you say makes sense. You were posting as four different people and lost track. I know how a psychopath reacts when they're caught in their Web of lies. I'm actually starting to feel embarrassed for you. Just stop! You're a liar and a very bad one at that! Just deal with it.
I have also dealt with people that actually believe their lies. If you're crazy enough to believe what you're trying to make myself and others believe, God help us all!

@BlackBeauty90 Every time I see your face on my notifications, it reminds me of the time my cat was infested with fleas. No matter what I tried I just could not get rid of those goddamn fleas. She scratched herself silly until I finally took her to the vet. Is this who you strive to be in life? A goddamn human flea? I recommend you talk to your mental health professional.
Lmao! Um, I did stop responding to you sense your "do you ever hunt" or whatever your delusional mind came up with. All that tells me is another argument won for me! You're weak! Like I said, you're to fucking dumb to even troll. Spell "tomato". Or is it, "tomatoe"? Lmao!! "Oh, branches are the same as levels in other countries"... ha ha. Yep, you're a genius! Criticizing people's intelligence when not one thing you say is true or accurate. Lmao! Later, retard.
@BlackBeauty90 Give it up already. You're an idiotic narcissistic psychopath with multiple personalities and GaG accounts that was caught in a lie. It's clearly documented in this thread. Now everyone is laughing at you. Move on. It's over.

Oh my God!!! Losers are the ones that use dating Apps! Lmao... Do I really need to tell you that? Obviously you're "restricted" for various reasons to actually meet people. My advice is take your meds as prescribed and do as little talking as possible. If you ever actually get a date but I find that unlikely. Lmao...#BROKEN
@Slingblade1126 Didn't you say she posted a question looking for online dating advice or looking to give advice somewhere? I could've helped her, if she was a pleasant person:
@BlackBeauty90 You are a thing. You spout off like someone had a little comeuppance. Where does that comeuppance come from? Nahh, it ain't from the Greatest Country in the World. It's just there. It exists for your soul reason to tell us how to behave. We are sick of that bullshit! Your Silly Nanny Cuntries can't face the facts. You just want the US out. Where are you without thee US? No where. No Where Fucking City.
I love this shit @BlackBeauty90. A Libtard who can say America isn't the greatest country in the world. Whilst naming a number 1!!! Yet, China is imploding. Those communist fucks tried to reduce their worldly population by saying you can only have 1 kid!!! Then it fucks them over. They offed their population. They offed females. They only wanted males. Where does it get them?
You are so full of insults, and certainly are VERY verbose, it is difficult to understand what you believe, versus what is actual fact, and the intellect to know the difference. The United States is SO multicultural, and has been for a long time, since we bring EVERYBODY here, and that is one big reason that we no 'culture of our own" since this is a heterogenous culture. How can you have a "Culture" as such when the population is made up of hundreds of different cultures? "Black beauty"? Anna Sewell, an English novelist wrote about you in her novel 'Black Beauty" in 1877, it was about a horse, and was written to 'induce kindness, sympathy and an understanding treatment of horses. Sound like you have been mistreated, much like some of the others who have responded in such an aggressive and abusive way to those who are not so full of hatred towards others. BTY, what planet are you from?
@Bricealan What are you blubbering about you worthless American mongrel? There is no culture to your pathetic little country. Go live somewhere else & cry like a whore as the locals pass you around ass & mouth fucking you until you learn what real culture is.
This is the longest thread I've seen on g@g. Let me send a notification to you all as I liked and unliked this question 20 times to send the asker 20 notifications.
@blacbeauty90 Holy shit! A 10 year old knows there is only one Super Power in the World. That would be the United States of America. So, Ukraine would do the next best thing right? Ask the number 2 super power for help. If number 2 can't be Russia, then it must be CHINA!!! Hence the question. Why does Ukraine ask America for help and not China?
@BlackBeauty90 Your Parents, Aunts, Uncles, Grand Parents, Cousins, Brothers, Sisters, all of it. They should understand that you are Special Needs. I won't give you no quarter. But, if they really think you being mentally gonzo on your own is healthy? Fuck them, and fuck you!
Actually it was the British who invented the Internet https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Berners-Lee who later regretted it because of the way it became used to spread fake news by Americans.
Do we have a dark history? We prefer to call it colourful. Sure your ancestors may have been viking rapists, Norman oppressors or celtic cannibals but wasn't all this done before America was discovered hence it's also your history. The difference is we move on and don't want to return to the days of witch trials.
Finally we don't criticise America, we criticise certain politic beliefs many of you hold, just as we criticise the same beliefs when expressed here.
Oh no no no fuckwits. Berners-Lee developed the http protocol which is only a small part of the Internet. The Internet was developed by the US Dept of Defense. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet
That is correct. Don;t listen to Jungle Jane. She still swings from trees. If she has a business I am sure was given it by the government. She has no clue what she us talking about. She lives in a fake reality.
@bean2k21 - Berners-Lee you uneducated social reject created the word wide web. I'd call you stupid but well the proof you're stupid & uneducated is in the fact you're using wikipedia for your facts. STUPID people use wikipedia. Because their LOW IQ means they can't comprehend anything beyond STUPID. >>> See if you can read, idiot >>> https://home.cern/science/computing/birth-web
@888theGreat What country? Switzerland. The country with the richest people per capita. And I also have a property in the UK. Or did you fail to comprehend what I meant by pounds earlier?
And very proud of it. Your options won't matter to me in the least.
Unlike you, American, whose inferiority is reflected in how you & the other losers get excited about the options of others when you whine like mangy mongrels about freedom of speech. Pathetic.
The world would be far better off if America ceased to exist. It is nothing more than a country of ignorant & uneducated bullies - and a rightful claim when your ancestors were nothing more than the rejects that couldn't make it in Europe - so behind the times an alarming number think we're still in the Cold War.
@BlackBeauty90 you poor foolish woman. There is no help for you. When Europe collapses , you can come live with me and cook my meals and wash my drawers.
@888theGreat America will collapse far sooner than Europe will. When America owes more debt than Europe does all we to do is pull the carpet & America disappears. Your money, after all, is backed on nothing. It has less value than the paper it is printed on. Unlike other countries, such as Mongolia as an easy example, where their currency is backed by actual gold.
@BlackBeauty90 i have a degree in computer science. I'm sorry for you that you don't understand the difference between a web browser and the Internet. That's probably because your country is not as sophisticated as mine and you need to use your free healthcare to get a psychiatrist.
@bean2k21 - you have a degree in computer science yet don't know the difference between a software platform & a web browser? ROFL. Fuck that's pathetic. I suggest you go back to school and tell your teachers you're a failure. WWW isn't a web browser, idiot, it's far more advanced. What a freaking joke you are. ROFL. Moron king.
Sorry PP, but the World Wide Web is NOT the internet, which existed already when this guy did his work on top of it. The internet was developed as a US DARPA project.
@zagor it actually makes me proud to see how jealous and envious people are of America! I remember when Trump threatened to leave NATO and ALL of Europe cried like the little bitches they are! Comical.
What's the Euro backed by? Lol! It's funny, just a couple days ago reps. from Switzerland were in the US begging for US help! Now they wanna join NATO. You really are delusional. You fucks couldn't pull the carpet from under a five year old. You can barely produce your own energy! Lmao
All you people are insane. Everyone knows that the internet was invented by Al Gore. Duh. 😂😂
In all seriousness, the internet was NOT invented by anyone from or in the United Kingdom. It was developed over a few years by the United States government in conjunction with American computer companies like Apple and Microsoft, and American communication companies like AT&T and Lucent Technologies (if you all remember or maybe learned at some point, early internet access was dependent on telephone communication lines). In fact, I can point out the "windowless building" on Thompson Street in lower Manhattan where much of the early internet research and development took place. If you know your history, it's actually the same building where much of the "Manhattan Project" research and development took place in the early 1940s. My Father worked for AT&T in Manhattan and North Jersey for over 41 years, and when I was a preteen, I actually remember him telling me about his company working with the government and other companies on "developing technology to use telephone lines and airwaves to communicate digital information between computers around the world almost instantly". I also remember giving him a typical preteen response: "Yeah right... whatever." Now 35 years later, we have such advances like GaG and cat videos. 😂😂
@NYCQuestions1976 Don't waste your time with people like @BlackBeauty90 and @purplepoppy These Euroanderthals can't even read, much less understand what it means when Tim Berners-Lee says verbatim "I just had to take the hypertext idea and connect it to the TCP and DNS ideas and—ta-da!—the World Wide Web" Because to understand what he means, you have to know what TCP and DNS are, and apparently be smart enough; i. e. an American, to know you can't have the WWW without those technologies in place.
@bean2k21 Well to be fair, what I posted about the research at the Thompson Street building in lower Manhattan isn't something I'd expect the average European OR American to know about, because it's not really common knowledge. I only learned about it because of my Dad. On a related topic, in the mid 1980s, my family also had a small experimental device hooked up to the telephone line in our kitchen that AT&T and other companies were planning to make available to the general public in the coming years. It had only been available to certain companies and government agencies to that point, and my Father was one of a few dozen employees who were allowed to take one home to test out its reliability before mass production being approved. It was called an "Incoming Telephonic Identification Device". Or as we call it now, "caller ID". Now of course it's everywhere and integrated into everything. It was fun for me and my brother answering the phone as kids when family and friends were calling and saying who it was before they identified themselves.
@NYCQuestions1976 I can't wait until our self-building metropolises catch on in Europe. We should bet money on who will take credit for them: the French or English.
@purplepoppy I'm pretty sure we had to dismantle and rebuild your inferior British product, if you're referring to the sadistic tyrants who once colonized my beautiful land of freedom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KoXt9pZLGM
@Bricealan y'all leave Al Gore alone. He meant that he created the Internet in the sense that leaders make comments to take credit for something they didn't cut funding for. Did Trump actually build a wall between us and Mexico or did the Mexicans do the actual work? Come on.
@Bricealan Specifically he mandated a 1987 Reagen White House policy to study networks, which was two years before Berners-Lee wrote any code for the WWW and 20 years after packet switching was invented in the US. In 1991 years policy was revised to interlink universities and other public institutions. Gore was a successful leader.
All you faggots. Telling us all to shut up. In the US of A. If we aren't so great why is their debate? This gets dumber by the minute. You don't like how we live? Because it effects your lives so greatly? Then you faggots shut the fuck up. Pretty simple? Heh?
There are several different "versions" of how the internet came to be. I'm not convinced it was the creation of one man. Tim_Berners-Lee was involved, yes, but so were the boys at ARAPNET in the US Defense Department. But as to the history of the UK, go ahead and accept that it was dark. Fully dark, very, very dark. But so too is the USA, they just haven't been around anywhere near as long as the British Empire.
@888theGreat You are a rude, ignorant toady, and that's on a good day. Calling her a whore? Are you really in your 50's? You've the mind and mouth of a high school dropout.
@BlackBeauty90 FYI. BlackBeauty90 and Anon on the other opinion are the same person. Only someone this stupid can make the exact same spelling errors and consistently look partially retarded! However, her mental breakdowns are funny.
@Slingblade1126 ROFL. The only retards are you guys. But If you think America is so great why not answer this girl's question I am thinking of moving to America - what is there to the country? What culture is there? What food is there? What makes it unique? ?
@BlackBeauty90 brilliant come back, as usual. You really put me in my place. Obviously that's YOUR question. You are to fucking dumb to even troll! That truly is sad.
@BlackBeauty90 I have. Again, it's YOUR question. I see you're back trolling on that post at the same time you reappeared on this one. You're to stupid to troll! Even trolls have some intelligence.
@Slingblade1126 You gotta be really, really, really stupid to think you matter. Like seriously stupid. As for a mental breakdown nah... I just am seeing if you're as stupid as you've seemed all along.
@Slingblade1126 @bean2k21 The question she's harping on is posted by a different "account", but I agree it's definitely her. Posting styles are like fingerprints. If you guys also noticed, she responded to her own question anonymously with her other account. Her Pink Anonymous (30-35) response was, "Do yourselves a favour and don't.", instead of "Do yourself a favour and don't." It's like she's having a conversation with herself AND also responding to all of the other voices in her head. It's hilarious. 😂😂😂
@NYCQuestions1976 Bingo! She is insane and it is hilarious! I called her out on her nonsense a month ago. She actually believes everyone is as dumb as her.
@Slingblade1126 Would it surprise you that, in addition to monkeypox, 1 in 4 Europeons have a mental health issue yet there are long waiting lists, high fees and bureaucratic hoops to jump through to get treatment? In most of Europe, psychological treatment in public health care is inaccessible or inadequate. What we're seeing here is living proof of that.
@bean2k21 Not in the least, and it's not just mental health care. Check out these two articles on the same story. It's about a young woman in the United Kingdom who went to have a growth on her chest checked out:
Notice how both articles just glean over the fact that after her initial examination, she had to wait 9 months for further testing! NINE MONTHS! So instead she had to pay $250 out of pocket to have the ultrasound done in a timely manner at a private facility, which likely saved her life. For me and my dependents, here in the United States, it would've been a $35 co-pay for an ultrasound at a doctor's office or an urgicare, or a $100 co-pay for an ultrasound at a hospital. No 9 month wait, no $250 (or more after the ultrasound, depending on the outcome) out of pocket to avoid the wait. That's supposed to be the "Universal Healthcare" system that everyone brags about outside the United States? Please! I've also seen and read similar horror stories over the years about many other patient ordeals in Canada, Australia, and other countries in Europe. It's not an isolated incident, and it's never openly discussed. It's just always buried. Totally unacceptable.
I'm sure it must be wonderful to have access to "free" routine medical care when everything is "normal"... but then if/when the shit really hits the fan, you're fucked. No thanks. I'll take my $25/$35/$100 co-pays, thank you.
@NYCQuestions1976 Thanks for sharing! Yeah, where I work it's same day treatment, most often not even life-threatening, but I don't want to go into the details of my personal life. Hopefully we'll go global and help clean up this broken European system and heal some of these mental illnesses we see here on GaG. Not to mention these are the same poor souls who didn't have the infrastructure to ward off the likes of Hitler, and this is why, they are fed lie after lie and just believe it in the name of humanitarianism. How do you not learn from history is beyond me.
@purplepoppy Hate to burst your bubble. TCP/IP was created by US Military 30 years before it even became a thing. Yes, it wasn't Al Gore and his daughter. It was US Military. Tim Berners Lee wikipedia site tells you it was him? Isn't that Grand? Because wikipedia is the Authoritarian on all these fronts.
Ta da!!! I just had to take the hypertext idea and connect it to the TCP and DNS ideas and—ta-da!—the World Wide Web. — Tim Berners-Lee Yup, Tim Berners-Lee acts upon the blue ribbon of greatness that is TCP./IP.
US Military created the internet. So (Tim) he may, just may have done something called HTTP, who the fuck cares? Internet existed before that. 1983 vs, 19 fucking 89. You are serious though right? Well, the US Military operates at a level that is no unbeknownst to anyone. We don't spend this kind of money on Defense or Military for no fucking reason. So when, 1983 is the standard date? It was 30 years before that. 1953. Can you imagine that?
@BlackBeauty90 America is Great! We invented the TCP./IP protocol, 30 years before you even had a scintilla of creating an offling. That's one of the greatest things America does. We will take that scintilla, we will offer evil people a place, even when they wanted to Destroy us. We know how to make assholes work in our favor. We saved your ballz. We will always do it. If you think you can usurp us? That's a cold fucking day in hell.
@BlackBeauty90 You move here simply because you have the freest form of Freedom. Don't move to Dem Ran Shit Holes. Simple. When you can have everything and eat your cake too, we do it in spades!!!
@NYCQuestions1976 Holy shit! I did not know that the UK Universal Health Care is only for routine bull shit. I knew there are problems with waiting and dealing with red tape regarding who gets priority, but damn. And all these idiots with single player universal health care all over the world are telling us we should be more like them?
@BlackBeauty90 " The world would be far better off if America ceased to exist. It is nothing more than a country of ignorant & uneducated bullies - and a rightful claim when your ancestors were nothing more than the rejects that couldn't make it in Europe - so behind the times an alarming number think we're still in the Cold War." ---------------- You dumb bitch. Erase America, then what? We are the lone and only super power that keeps your dumb ass from living in a full blown commie regime. And you would start speaking Chinese or Russian pretty damn quick.
@BlackBeauty90 You dumb bitch. It was generalized when that guy was talking about the internet (TCP/IP) vs. a web browser (http). And of course your dumb ass wouldn't know text based browsers exist too. Yup, you can browse the interzones in command line.
@schittywok Did you escape from the loony bin? I seriously don't know why you whine like a deranged fucked in the ass by a horse's dick mongrel. It's been over a month you pathetic sniveling rodent of a loser & yet you cry like a whipped whore still. GET A JOB and stop FUCKING UP AMERICA BY YOUR EXISTENCE.
@bean2k21 - ROFL. Monkeypox is a WHITE lab-created disease - Copenhagen, Denmark 1958. Created by WHITES using monkeys to testing the validity of vaccines. ... If you weren't the worthless inbred reject of your uneducated welfare trash parents you'd know this. You shit for brains American.
@BlackBeauty90 Even if what you typed is correct (and based on all of your other previous ramblings, I'm quite sure it's not), the last time I checked, Denmark is in Europe.
@BlackBeauty90 Monkeypox comes from Eurotrash having sex with monkey-looking, knuckle-dragging, devil-worshipping ex-slaves like you, you no-class monkey piece of dog shit.
@purplepoppy "Bonus question. Is America a British invention? I think it is." Huh? What? You do know people existed in our lands 7,000 years ago? I'm pretty sure America isn't an invention of people who wanted to escape for religious freedom, and freedom period. But that is what you think? America is America, currently because it's made by people that simply want the TRUEST form of FREEDOM. We kicked your ass, then you have the temerity, to have us save your ass from Germany and Japan. America is a British invention? The free world as we know it, is due to America.
Oh boy. You are going to make me rant again. First of all, USA has just as dark of a past, if not darker than most European countries. For example while Slavery was common back in the day the American slavery was exceptionally brutal but more importantly the genocide against the Native Americans is something that goes beyond what most of Europe has done.
So for as young of a nation as USA is there is plenty of crimes against humanity packed into it upto and including today. Yes, you are committing war crimes and crimes against humanity now too. Quite a few of them actually.
But the thing that ticks me off about you is that you think you are gods gift to Europe. That USA, out of the kindness of your heart made a sacrifice for the benefit of us. Give me a break, your whole super power status is built on exploiting Europe in both world wars. It is not a coincidence that USA went from a zero to hero because of it.
Let me tell you a secret, countries dont do true charity. If USA (or any other country) decides to provide help they only ever do so with the expectation that they will receive bigger returns in the future. It is an investment. So why, in your words, did USA go and "fund the end of yet another one of your ridiculous wars"? Because it made USA filthy rich and powerful. Seeing someone bitch and whine about becoming rich and powerful is fucking pathetic.
Let me remind you, no one gave a fuck about USA before WW1. The world wars fucking MADE you but it also made you fat and lazy while you gorged on the riches you brought from Europe to fuel your golden age. Like all super powers after they experienced a big boom you became regressive and once the rest of the world began to pass you by you grew resentful of their progress and wished things would go back in time to when you were at the top of the world, respected and rich. To a time of stolen valor and plundered golden age.
Your time in the spotlight looks to be fairly short in the grand scheme of history. You had success fall into your lap and instead of investing it for the future you instead spent it all on coke and hookers. USA is falling behind the world and we are not going to sit around waiting for your fat ass to catch up to us. May you sit on your fat ass and stagnate.
@Soteris "For example while Slavery was common back in the day the American slavery was exceptionally brutal but more importantly the genocide against the Native Americans is something that goes beyond what most of Europe has done." Son of a bitch? Really? There's more slavery in the World now than there ever has been. Slavery was eradicated here in the US. We had the gnarliest wars of wars to do it.
Our spotlight is short in the grand scheme of history? Success fell into our laps? The Greatest Generations of our times, whether it be our Civil War, or Two World Wars? All of the lives lost, you shit on. It makes no sense. But we just continue to fight hardcore for the greatest two Amendments the World has ever known. Our 1st Amendment and 2nd Amendment. Your fat asses don't understand we don't want your Commie ways. We will die, simply because we are smart. Whilst you sit on your fat ass and complain about us not wanting to be LIKE YOU?
Wait a minute here? "Give me a break, your whole super power status is built on exploiting Europe in both world wars. It is not a coincidence that USA went from a zero to hero because of it?" We exploited Europe? Really? Two World Wars, plus our own Civil War made it so you can have the ability to bitch like you do. After the first World War, we wanted nothing to do with fighting your war. Is that what you want? We got hit hard with Japan at Pearl Harbor. It was a colossal fuck up. Conspiracy theory, is we let it happen... Simply to get Americans behind the 2nd World War effort. Winston Churchill did everything in his power to get us the USA of A to fight against Germany. We could have let the UK get totally fucked. And Europe in general. And that's the THANKS we get?
What us True Americans do day in and day out, is fight for our FREEDOM. You shit on that. Whilst telling us we are behind the 8 ball compared to you? You are fucking retarded.
@schittywok Wow.. You are really stupid aren't you? "More slavery today than there has ever been"? With around 38-46 million slaves today, depending on your definition of slavery and what sources you choose, that is indeed a lot by historical standards. But guess what? That is only true because the population has done this:
Proportional to the number of people living back in the day slavery was a much bigger problem on an order of magnitude. Slavery is also objectively NOT eradicated in USA, its even enshrined in your beloved constitution in the 13th amendment. Look it up.
You also had an objectively small civil war over slavery. Dont act so dramatic about it when most countries has had far bloodier ones, especially in Asia.
Also yes, Success did indeed fall into your lap. For example, without the world wars you would continue to be a backwards country in the bumfuck nowhere. The rest of the world has built you up and you believe you ran a homerun starting from 3rd base. Also you want to talk about "All those lives lost"? You go to Fallen. io and tell me why I should give a rats ass about your sacrifices right now.
I also love that you brought up the 2nd amendment as if its something to be proud of. All it is making me feel is like I am talking to a primitive savage who has not managed to integrate into civilized society. You do realize that we look down upon you for this specific amendment dont you?
"We got hit hard by Pearl Harbor" No you did fucking not. Losing a few soldiers and a few ships is not damaging to a country. Compare that to the massively increased industry you got to build to support the war effort while being PAID by us and its the kick that dragged your ass out of the mud. Also, the western front did not win Europe WW2. The eastern front did. By contrast the western front was but a diversion and you are asking for participation awards now?
@Soteris Okay, then, I guess, we are the most overrated mediocre country that ever existed that lives rent free in your head. You are from Sweden. I know a lot of people from there, we have sister cities, hell, in the state I live in we have more Swedish people per capita in the county I live then the rest of the Country. There's a town in Sweden with my last name, all be it with an extra letter and some kind of goofy thing above a letter that isn't a tilde. We did the exchange student thingy in HS too. I'm also related to the King and Queen of Sweden by way of a chamber maid. Why is this? Why do people love coming here in droves from all over the world? We don't escape the US to move in droves to your places? We have the freest form of Freedom in the World. Hands down. If you don't like it? Why not just live humbly and shut up?
Yes, I do realize you "look down upon" me, you shit on me. Why are you able to do so? Shouldn't you be speaking Japanese or German? Why? Because we like FREEDOM. You don't have it. You want to be Commie still. When will you ever see the light? You espouse and bitch for no other reason than you have the right to. You are what we call in America a stupid liberal douche bag, that doesn't understand how many Americans died for you and continues to fight for you. You are WOKE AF.
In your mind, now, we must change our ways, to be like you? It makes no sense. You don't like our 2nd Amendment. You don't like our 1st Amendment. So, in your mind the US can do what we will. Fair enough. We can sit back on our haunches and let you stew in your bullshit. If you think you can erase the United States. Do it. Allegedly, to Woke Americans, and you, you don't need us, simply because why? Russia and China can't beat you alone without us. Let's see how that would work out. Try being on your own. Go up against them, have fun. I've been advocating this. Why should we care about Ukraine? About Taiwan? We shouldn't. We should be focusing on our myriad of problems. AKA, America first.
@schittywok *facepalm* Why do people like you always think that immigration to USA is some kind of proof of your own superiority? Its not. By your very own argument, I have NOT immigrated to USA and decided to stay in Sweden which means that Sweden is obviously superior to USA because otherwise I would have moved right? Its a really dumb argument.
As for why there is a lot of Swedish culture in certain parts of USA? If you knew your history then you would remember that Sweden was one of the first to colonize America. But I digress.
Having you claim that USA has the most freedom in the world is laughable. If we look at various rankings like the Liberty Index by Patrick Rhamey then USA is on the 26th place or something. You are not even close to being the most "free" country in the world. FYI, Sweden is in 5th place.
@schittywok Also, I speak German in the first place. You know, multi-lingual and all that. As for Japan? That was your war. Japan had nothing to do with Europe. I also understand plenty well how many Americans died. Its part of history and we have pretty good education here, as opposed to whatever they teach you in USA.
I also love when Americans threaten to "stay out of" things, as if we are desperate for American support to continue our way of life. We are not. Russia can't even take over Ukraine and you think they are a threat to an actual modern army? Dream on. As for China, its on the other side of the world. We dont care what they are up to.
Do you know who DO care though? You do. Because you are a Super power and your authority and power is built upon influencing the rest of the world. You sitting back and letting us be by ourselves is literally like you strangling yourself to death to somehow upset me. Its silly. You are sticking your fingers in everyones pies, not because you want to help, but because you want to continue remaining the worlds super power. The moment you stop. The moment you actually embrace "America First", is the moment you collapse. Its hilarious to me that you dont even understand something so simple.
The European criticises you because he criticises himself.
The European lives in a post-national pride mindset where he is not proud of and does not give a shit about his country (I mean, if you look at some of their disastrous and self effacing immigration policies you can detect this). To get offended about one's country or to take pride in it is seen as rather primitive. I know this might come across as rather snooty, but I think it's true to say where the European for the most part is. Of course, there are nationalistic Europeans as well. But it's rather stupid and puerile to have my country is better than yours type arguments, isn't it?
So I will call a spade a spade. Yes, I'll criticise the US. But I'll also criticise my own country. And everybody.
@yungbahlr But miss Yung makes a good point too. Ultimately joking and 'piss-taking' is part of our culture. Like when you make fun of a friend. Sometimes it goes too far, but ultimately you're not supposed to get offended, you know? And least our jokes are usually better than the trite tea, teeth and crumpets drivel we've heard a million times.
I didn’t even think to mention that aspect, but what you said really is completely true.
I think some Americans have began to reach that point too given how divorced our politics are from sanity recently. It’s a slow burn since it requires overcoming decades of aggressive nationalistic propaganda, but nonetheless, the change is happening.
Great comment :) and sorry for the lame teeth joke. I still stand by the crumpet/biscuit comment tho. Just call them “cookies” like normal people already 😤
@YungBahlr I suppose it goes back to Chinese philosophy and yin and yang theory. Yang is confident , aggressive and unquestioning, but arguably a bit stupid. However America is in decline since the 90s in terms of being that confident unilateral power. Now Americans are being forced to reflect.
And it's fine. Make fun of me all you like. As long as you know full well I can make you swoon with my Englishness, I hold the power 😋
We have a pretty dark past, this is very true. Plenty of wars happened on our soil for an instance.
However we criticize americans because bad things are happening there today. Frequent school shootings/gun deaths. And yes, not even basic necesities like healthcare. That is actually pretty bad. What is more baffling to us is that some of the people in your country actually think this it is a good thing. That america is the best place to be.
I am not going to say that everything is super great around here. There is always room for improvement. But I wonder if Americans acknowledge the same. When we say: gosh, why don't you have universal healthcare, it is really really cheap and nice to have here in Europe, you say we are criticizing you. We are not. We are just really baffled by it. It is like you are saying: yes, we could drink clean water, but instead we are drinking sewage sludge because america is the best. It just feels strange to us, but i am happy to hear why you don't want to change it.
I only ask that you consider this. Currently at M. I. T., where digital circuits were invented, we are studying how artificial intelligence can be used to detect breast cancer. We can make advances such as these to benefit the entire world because we are an advanced civilization. Yes, there are Americans who fail to have health care because we are loyal to our capitalistic ideals. But without these ideals, could the world have advanced as much as it has.
Ye, but likewise in Europe we are also developing procedures to cure cancer and making advances that can benefit the entire world. Here in the netherlands, for an instance, they are developing a way to use sound waves to temporarily open the blood-barrier in the brain, a technique that can be used to treat brain tumors.
And yes, we are also working on other fields of science as well, including artificial intelligence.
So in short: yes I believe the world can advance without those capitalistic ideals, as we are doing that here already. Of course, we do also have capitalism here. But we moderate it just a bit. For an instance, to make sure pharamaceutical companies are not overpricing their medicines, so the general populace can use them.
I think it's incredible how you don't realize that whith every sentence you write, you are showing how ignorant you are about how both the US and Europe are doing right now. I lived about equally as long in both The US and Europe. I notice that many Europeans have an Idea of what the US is like but very little Americans have any idea what Europe is like. After the second world war, to most Europeans America was this place of promise and growth. Now decades later, I can 100% assure you that Europe has outclassed the US in pretty much every way. The comfortable lives, the wealth, technological improvements, human rights, the feeling of safety for almost every citizen, the overall intellect and happiness of the people in Europe is so much greater than it is back in the US. And yes I am in both parts of the world every year to check and compare.
And yes, most Americans want healthcare when they or their loved ones get sick. I don't know a single European who would not want healthcare anymore.
Europe : where the Gov;t tells you what you can say and do. America which runs the worlds economy. Europe : where half the countries are failing and need bail outs.
Actually up until a few years ago they did charge a toll to cross the Severn bridge from Bristol into Wales. Wasn't unusual for delivery drivers to tell you to sod off.
@Agagagagaga Dude, every European country is in a gigantic immigration crisis because everyone is trying to go there. there are way more people coming to Europe from over the world than America these days. Over 20 of my American friends migrated to Europe because their standard was too high for the US and European countries like Germany, Sweden, etc. could provide it.
@888theGreat You really need to start reading up about European and American economy because you clearly have no knowledge. Numbers are facts and the US isn't doing to well sadly. What European country is failing and needs a bailout?
France and Germany (via the European Union) have been bailing out the Mediterranean countries (especially Greece) for years. It's the major reason why the United Kingdom left the European Union.
You talk a lot about things from the past. This is one of the biggest differences - Europeans are able to move on from the past; they're progressive. I'm not aware of any country, in Europe or beyond, that has ever adopted universal healthcare and then thought: "Actually no, this was a bad idea" and abolished it again. It's progress.
The US is incapable of progress, largely thanks to two ancient documents, which Americans still hold absolutely sacrosanct - the bible and the constitution.
Abortion is only an issue because Christian fanatics make it one, and you could have all the evidence in the world that banning guns would be beneficial, but it would still never happen because of the 2nd amendment.
And who exactly do you think is going to "come over there starting some crap" anyway? Canada? At least then you'd be able to get a decent coffee from Tim Hortons, instead of that Starbucks shite (progress, eh?). That just exemplifies another national trait of Americans - paranoia and fear (not just of the outside world, but also of their neighbours). Let's face it, the US never gets involved in foreign wars unless there's something in it for the US - or at least for the "military industrial complex" that dictates foreign policy. And yes, you largely have a Brit to thank for inventing the internet (you're welcome).
The low level protocols for transmitting data over telephone lines was invented by Americans. The internet as we know it, made up of pages viewed using a browser, was invented by a Brit.
The best argument you can make in defense of the US, is actually that most Europeans don't realize or can't comprehend just how large the population really is. Every time we see Americans doing something truly retarded - which let's be honest, is ALL the time - even if there are thousands of them doing it, that's still just thousands out of 300 million. The idiot posting complete nonsense on GAG does not represent all Americans, or even the "average" American.
"Low level protocols"? You mean TCP/IP? There's a reason why we kick everyones ass. The same reason you bitch about us. The US has technology 30 years ahead of time, always. Some guy from Britain skated on the Blue Ribbon and created the HTTP protocol. So what? You can bet your bottom ass dollar, or pound, that we had something in the works. Maybe you are ass holes simply butt hurt because what we have is so ahead of it's time, it needs to be kept TOP SECRET. At some point, it must progress. But to say, we must thank Brits?
To feel better about themselves. Everyone always feels their way is the right way. I have European roots myself, but I was the first one to be born in the US. I used to respect European people, but now I'm really starting to dislike them, aside from the Greeks, British and Irish. I'm getting tired of European tourists coming here than bitching about how much better things are in Europe. Granted, Americans do the same thing, but there is a difference between criticizing cultural differences, and just having straight up hatred.
I used to think Europe was better, but after spending a bit of time in Europe, I see Americans are better at many things. Europeans think we're being entitled when we complain about rude customer service, higher prices for foreigners, and having to pay for things like photography, toilets or ketchup packets. The French and Italians specifically get very defensive about their food. And they complain about our tipping culture when they straight up don't give you change, and they laugh at how we dress, when they themselves dress like idiots. And they freak out when we try to make small talk with them.
There are some things in Europe that are better like public transport, alcohol laws, vacation, work culture and education and social programs in general, but when it comes to hospitality and treatment of tourists, America trumps Europe by a longshot.
Though I get along very well with the British, because their culture and standard of living is very similar to ours.
I'm not sure what others are referring to when they say the USA is the greatest country because we have a lot to improve on, but I do know that the USA is the most powerful country in the history of the world regardless if you agree or not. You can talk all the crap you want, but there is no one country alone that can match our military or economy to this day. The USA protects a lot of countries, gives it's riches and resources to others in need, and have willingly sacrificed ourselves to save others who are not American. Most technological advances have come out of the USA. People think we have no culture, but don't realize America is a melting pot of cultures. Remember the rest of the world flocking to come to this new country to escape their own and bringing their culture and traditions with them as well as establishing new blended cultures and traditions? How about American pop culture that dominates the world? No country is perfect with a clean history free from a dark past. The USA is an experiment unlike any other established country that continues to evolve, innovate, and shape the world we live in. If we weren't the super power we are today, you'd have the next in line of Russia or China setting the world order... I honestly can't see those as better options, especially if you live in and value democracy. One day I believe our empire will fall, just like every other empire in history but probably not anytime soon. I could care less if anyone who is American or any other nationality agrees with me and my opinion. We all have our faults and have all done things in our past that don't reflect who we are in the present.
Hmmm tough question. Yes every country has its past. Canada has dark moments in its history for sure. The trick is to try to learn from those mistakes and prevent re occurrences. But the United States at times does not seem to learn very well and keeps repeating the events of the past. For example Vietnam and Iraq. Racism. Treatment of less privileged. Building a more inclusive society. Separation of religion and state. Gun violence. The USA seems to be being left behind by the rest of the developed world at times. I do love to travel in Europe and the rest of the west. Their societies are generally safe and open and welcoming. I cannot say that anymore about the USA. I used to love going down south... not so much anymore. Sorry but its how i feel.
That was actually a very thoughtful opinion and I'm sorry you feel that way about us. I understand why you do but it just makes me feel bad because we've always been, in my opinion, good neighbors. Hopefully you'll feel differently in the future.
Okay, doesn't it occur to you that Americans may not want to live in a "more inclusive" society? Doesn't it occur to you that there are people on earth who want MORE religion in politics, not less? Doesn't it occur to you that Americans like their freedom to have guns? Why do you want to impose your beliefs on all nations and peoples of the world? This is the problem with liberals, leftists, progressives, etc. - do you believe that you are the only people in the world and do not tolerate any different views?
@npiatanas Doesn't it occur to you that religion is not to be forced onto the rest of of us. There's more than one religion. We're supposed to be free from religious persecution. That means for you to keep your faith without jamming it down our throats. You're not the only American or the only one that deserves to get what they want.
Also the problem with the large majority of the right is you lack of acceptance of people different than you. The reason we have the first amendment is to protect ourselves from people like you.
@Friendlybro79 No. America is a Christian nation. I think the US government should promote and promote religion and traditional values. And that doesn't mean anyone will be persecuted. In America, no one has ever been persecuted for their religion, this country is based on religious freedom. But it is very important which values are promoted. Instead of promoting feminism and LGBT rights, I want a government and media that promotes religion and traditional family values.
@Friendlybro79 And yes, of course we are not the only ones who need to get what we want. But we have the right to fight and defend our values and our vision of society, right? Why can LGBT, BLM and feminists fight and put their beliefs in everyone's throats and we can't? Isn't this hypocrisy?
In addition, in a democracy, the views of the majority in particular must be taken into account. The majority of the people in America are Christians. So it is normal for their values, culture and views to dominate. Minorities have the right to live their lives without persecution or disrespect, but they cannot impose their will and their beliefs on the majority.
@npiatanas No the majority do not get to control the rest of us like indentured servants so that we can cater to your ego. This isn't a Christian nation in the sense that Christian law rules. Your views are your own and since we're all free to express ourselves that means that you can and have zero choice but to cohabitate the same space with people that don't agree with you. You do not get to force religion into law. The way you speak you're insinuating that if the majority of people are Christian and they don't believe in LGBTQ lifestyle you should get to end it. Put a stop to them existing as they wish, taking away their free will that the Christian god gave us all. Your religion says let God do the judging. He has you covered if you truly believe what you believe.
"The genius of the founding fathers is they understood that Christianity could not only stand on its own but would thrive without being written into the laws and founding documents of the country. In fact, it was likely their own “faith” that led them to this conclusion. Many of the founding fathers—Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Madison and Monroe—practiced a faith called Deism. Deism is a philosophical belief in human reason as a reliable means of solving social and political problems. Deists believe in a supreme being who created the universe to operate solely by natural laws—and after creation, is absent from the world. This belief in reason over dogma helped guide the founders toward a system of government that respected faiths like Christianity, while purposely isolating both from encroaching on one another so as not to dilute the overall purpose and objectives of either.
If the founders were dogmatic about anything, it was the belief that a person’s faith should not be intruded upon by government and that religious doctrine should not be written into governance. James Madison, for instance, was vigorously opposed to religious intrusions into civil affairs. In 1785, when the Commonwealth of Virginia was considering passage of a bill “establishing a provision for Teachers of the Christian Religion,” Madison wrote his “Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments,” in which he presented 15 reasons why government should not become involved in the support of any religion"
@lightbulb27 I agree that we can and need to be better. Blaming our problems on liberals alone is getting tiresome. This country needs more than two parties so badly lol
@npiatanas Yours was very thought out. We do TRY to separate Church and State. She talks about RACISM! That really bothers me, as if this entire country is racist. WOW Vietnam, and Iraq? We got 52,000 men killed there trying to stop Ho Chi Mehn from overrunning the South, and what do we get, her Canadian bred criticism. WE are being 'left behind' the rest of the 'developed world at times" Dear god what the hell is that all about. We are constantly trying to help those undeveloped counties! What the hell is Canada doing? We went to war in Iraq/Iran/Afghanistan for MORE than good reason. No one else but Britian steps up and Australia.
Trudeau didn’t hesitate to look into people bank accounts and take their right to protest… nobody’s hands clean.
Also the shit you hear about racism in America is a lie. I’ve rarely if ever been racist and I’ve only seen racism in a few areas. I’ve felt the country and myself growing MORE racist by BLM telling me stupid shit like im racist cause I’m white and my babies are oppressors.
The right push standards some see as racist while the left push racism just against the whites.
Build a more inclusive society? When a black wants into college he can get a lower score then me but take my space in the name of inclusivity. The Asian has to do 100x better then I do to fill the same spot. Affirmative action is racism.
Within America even the poor are rich by todays standards. You can go from homeless to a house in a few short years if your willing to give up enough. America makes it easy to climb the ladder. You can’t blame people refusal to sacrifice on America.
Although I agree America don’t learn. We can’t. We’re caught in our own decadence. We don’t remember what it means to suffer like some other countries. America is strong for sure but our power comes from being propped up by the little guys thus our children are protected from their suffering. Personally I think we need people to suffer or America might soon face a universe 25 situation. Lookup universe 25 the rat utopia experiment.
As an European: - "Did you forget about your monarchs who killed their 17 year old wives for not producing a male child?" - never happened in my country - "Did you forget about your psycho leaders who slaughtered Jews?" - never happened in my country - "Did you forget about the slave ships you built?" - never happened in my country - "The crusades you waged?" - never happened in my country by the way. universal health care actually sucks, because it literally takes a few months to have an appointment,
You're hearing this from the arrogant leftist Europeans who think their shit doesn't stink, as many of the answers to your questions indicate. Leftist Europeans who can't and won't bother to defend their own countries but are plenty happy to let us do it for them.
Talk to someone in Germany who's had a medical procedure that wasn't covered by health insurance and who gets recycled from one temporary physical labor assignment to another and then onto unemployment and see how wonderful they think merry old Europe is.
So what? Why do you let it get to you? Citizens from different countries have been throwing barbs at each other for centuries, some playfully, some mean-spirited. We have enough of a riff between regions and states within our own country. I live almost smack in the middle of the 48 contiguous states, and read of people on both coasts (most of whom have never been here) who call us flyover country, rubes, etc. Our politics are a hot mess. Battle lines get drawn over almost every issue, with our own citizenry taking to every outlet to vent spleen. We put quite a shit show on display for the whole world to see. If you back away and try to look from the outside inward, you might see a different picture. I’ve found dredging up dark chapters in history and throwing them back and forth is utterly pointless. We have people still fighting the Civil War FFS.
There’s no need to defend a foxhole or take counsel of your naysayers. Haters will hate. Ignore them.
Our problem in the States, is that we have 'half the population of the rest of the planet" living here, each pulling in a different direction. How do we have any stability in ANY country that has a population made up of the entire planet?
We have Obama"care", which is universal-ish, and it's absolute crap. Being socialist doesn't automatically make it better. Europeans cannot get that through their lead-dense skulls.
Trigger-happy gun lovers? No, we just like when justice isn't perverted and back-asswards, like in Europe, where the innocent have no rights and actual criminals are seldom punished.
The natives slaughtered each other plenty long before that. Also, America and Britain developed movements to end slavery long before most nations could get the stick out of their asses long enough to process the concept.
I honestly don't know but I have friends all over the planet and many feel America is part of them. And they freely complain about everything America does or stands for until they feel threatened by another country of have natural disasters. Then the complaint is we're not doing enough for them. I lost friends who refused to stop bashing Trump, our freedom of religion and the owning of guns. I don't stick my nose in any other countries business but they freely stick their nose in every aspect of ours.
The Unitied States uses its military to force the oil producing nations to only sell oil in exchange for dollars, this is called the petrodollar, because of this the value of the dollar is kept artificially high and the world is effectively held to ransom.
You are thieves.
So no, you dont get to say that you are minding your own business.
@Guffrus Just HOW do we, the US, "FORCE" the oil producing nations to ONLY sell oil in exchange for dollars? "Petrodollar"? I have not looked at the 'exchange rate of the $$ lately compared to those countries that buy oil (just about everybody) and yet the value of the dollar is kept artificially high because of our use of "FORCE" May the force be with you, guffrus.
I guess because they see we have a dark future. The rub between "White" Americans and Europeans is always fascinating. You have some "White" Americans who go beyond their skin color and the weirdness of race and foster deep cultural ties to ancestral lands.
But then others who are weirdly hostile and ignorant of European history.
Every continent has a dark past when it comes to internal conflicts. Genocides in Africa have mostly been perpetrated by Africans, famously Hutu murdering Tutsi in the conflict in Rwanda. Or when you look at Asia and Japan murdering Chinese in the Rape of Nanking.
Race is a very poor construct to use when looking at these conflicts around the world, since most strife, genocide, etc. happens on a cultural or ethnic basis. Because unlike the United States, the friction between groups arises from a long history of conflict. And not upon some weird social construct.
Which country doesn´t have a dark past? Every major country neither European or not has a dark past in some way. So that argument is also a bit hypocritical because not everything the US has done in the past is good as well. Like the US threw atomic bombs on a country probably also knowing the consequences? You attacked a country supposing it has "super-weapons? The last time I checked there were none to be found in Iraq. We could also talk about the treatment of America´s native population by the state governors in the past. I understand your point though I would just ask the question differently by arguing that most European countries have political issues of their own to solve for the time being. That way it could be seen has hypocritical making fun of American politics while not being able to solve their own problems. Because many countries have different problems that are comparingly major problems that shouldn´t be ignored.
@888theGreat Yes but the independent US kept slavery on going for nearly a 100 years living pretty well with it. If they had much of a problem with slavery they wouldn´t have needed a civil war to pass the bill to abolish that, would they? Many people including Christians were actively supporting slavery, But I was rather referring to the treatment of the indegenous population.
Yes we should have guaranteed healthcare that is part of our taxes. Think of it this way. Most people don't get 100% free healthcare from an employer. I have a great job working for a tremendous company and I still pay 3k a year for insurance that still requires co pays, coinsurance deductibles... it's bull shit. Build it in to our taxes, and guarantee everyone. DUH.. Canada and the scandanavian countries are all healthier than the US. Norwegians in particular are better paid than us, live better on average, and love their healthcare set up. I've also traveled a lot to these countries and can tell you they're doing it better.
I think it's American attitudes that get them most. The social demographic is different and for reasons of culture... which has it's roots in dark history. Learning from that history, and seeing things differently is where (I think) we see a lot of the criticism. As an American male, I even feel like a European when relating to females here. They seem (most) more uptight than the non-westernized Europeans. Ironic that the U. S. is a free-for-all free-thinking experimental outlooks, but you ask a girl out and you're a creep, instantly. WTF?
I heard many french and European people do that. But I believe that Europe has their weakness and faults too. by the way when I hear about GAFAM did this, or McDonalds or other U. S companies etc.. I say "we don't need to cast a stone on them because they never stole or betrayed me. They do their job and are fair to me. We don't need to go too far because we have our local national made in France thieves, those who don't do their job and I have to remind them, and who steal money and lie every time.
I don't mean that grass is greener on the other side of Atlantic Ocean but of course there are pros and cons and history.

Lol dude there is no difference between if the Americans does the same thing against Europeans. Cuz Americans is mostly of European origin which almost makes up approximately three forth of the total population. by the way , I do not think that the Europeans critisize USA at all. How do you know that? Why do you assume so? Are you really OK? Please stop consuming so much alcohol bro , it really threatens you by the means of mental and physiological health. Go to see a doctor immediately I beg ya ;)
Lol it is also kinda rude comment and also critisizing in a worst manner , you do what you find interesting. by the way , I am not a Briton if you mean so haha I am half Georgian half Azerbaijani man , ma homie ;)
Being a supporter of ur own country doesn’t mean u have to be against other countries. I am English, I’ve lived in the US too, I love both countries, our two countries have been responsible for a lot of good and bad things. I accept my privileged position is based on centuries of other peoples misfortune. It just wasn’t my fault personally so I’m. It taking responsibility for it, same way todays Germans didn’t invade Poland, todays Americans don’t use slaves. I can’t claim my ancestors victories either, I didn’t land at Normandy, I didn’t defeat the armada or Napoleon.
Just because someone else for your country did something good, it’s not your victory, just because you were born on the same land mass as the guy who created Starbucks, McDonald’s or landed on the moon, it doesn’t count as your success.
Let’s not try to live off other peoples reputations, be proud of what you have achieved. I once managed 5 wanks in a day, that was a good day and all my own work!
