Syrian War, Libya, Egypt, Ukraine and Tibet-China, Taiwan-China and other places in the world. Americans think they own the world. I myself hate talking to such Americans, they are too pro-America. I'm against what America stands for: meddling in other's internal affairs, causing deaths and casualties everywhere. I'm sorry to say, but I hate such Americans who live in their own bubble and who think America is number 1 and who live in Americaland (who think America is a holyland and etc). No, many people hate America just because it meddles too much in others' political affairs (like Mid-East and Russia and China). What's your views about the US's meddling in others' affairs? Should they have the right to or not? And does it impede on our civil rights?
There is a difference between Americans and the American government. Even the "murica is #1 crowd!" doesn't think we need to be involved in international conflict so often anymore.
...complains parents don't like caucasians due to stereotypes, renounces those stereotypes as false, and then goes after americans based on stereotypes... I had hopes for you, Naiwen. Why'd you have to let me down? *Edit: Yeah, meliai has the right idea. It's the government at this point, not the people
The United States is a country with another name, like a split personality. I'd say America is in contempt, from within and elsewhere. Damn that god-damned TV.
America isn't all that great. They have pretty shitty beers IMO. Other than SOME of the sports and their music scene, there's just nothing really interesting happening over there for me.
I have been to Germany before. I loved the Black Forest.....and the litle coffee cafe there, where we sat at(my brother and I), with the rose vines climbing the stone walls.... Made a painting of it that day, too..
Oh that's a little west of me. All of our forests are just pure awesome I think though the Black Forest was meant to be getting eaten away by acid rain. I hope that's not really the case. I've spent a lot of time in the Teutoberg forest. I love it there, there's the cutest little village called Hörn in there next to the Externsteine and I stay there at least 2-4 times a year, depends on whether I make the pilgrimage with the rest of the heathen folk. And then there's our Bayern forest where I live and on one side of the mountain is us folks of Mittenwald and the other side of the mountain is literally Austria =p
i thought i replied to this thread. must have been a different one i thought and intended to be for this one. yes amerca as a country meddles to much in the affairs of elsewhere. in all the wrong ways and for all the wrong reasons. you don't have to be isolationist to be anti-interventionist.
Meddles too much where and when they shouldn't, but sits by and pretends to not know what is happening as 800,000+ are slaughtered in 3 months in Rwanda.
America has a hugely dark history meddling in the Caribbean dating back hundreds of years. It's where they cut their teeth on both foreign policy, foreign meddling, and selective racism, as well as the support of genocidal dictators. Ironically when they started out as a nation they were very scared of being labelled as imperialists because of the past they came from and were mindful to not stick their fingers where they didn't belong as their global image as a trailblazer for democracy mattered very much to them.
We have awesome microbreweries all over the country making some really good stuff, but those probably don't get exported so all the rest of the world knows of our beer is Budweiser and coors and the like, and yeah that is shit beer. Although I recently read an article about Germans being beer purists (the article was about some 400 year old beer law that doesn't allow for much recipe tweaking, if I remember correctly) so I don't really know if your part of the world would even appreciate 'murcas microbrews. Oh yeah, we have a lot of great national parks too
Well I am happy to see that you are mentioning Taiwan; and am not aware of Mr. Obama causing any casualties on The Island. There are tons of Taiwanese in Flushing, NY., and have built a thriving community there. Would hate to see anyone threatening them. It if difficult for those in bubble land to appreciate the delicate nature of the relationship between China and Taiwan. Yet, one might hope that military threats are not part of the equation.
In this thread I used that for the separation of the people and the government. I often hear people talk about how the two of them are separate, but the government is the people. Unless.... etc.
Yes and unless... is what is exactly the case here. Everybody seemed to got that already before you started to get witty so I thought i'd point it out for you
