and i wanna say.... i hate people that hate americans because of our government. it's no better then people saying that we should be in iraq because of saddam. it's fucking ridiculous. it's a stereotype. we are not all the people you see on tv. get over it and grow up. thanks n lots of love, interval
of course, matt... they will always have there stereo-types and try to blame people... whatever, im done with this. im too good for ths.
I have to agree. I'm from Canada, and so many people here say that they hate americans. It drives me up the wall!! I always say "They're just like us" and people think I'm nuts!!
It´s stereotyping and it´s done with every country. It´s just that people really hate America right now and it makes it easy for them to demonize the whole place. ¨I am how you say, French¨ for instance.
When you're the so called super power country everyone is jealous and hates you until they need finacial assistance.
thank you fizzy. i mean, blame our gov. how ever you want to.. i dont care. i do it too. stereotype all americans into idiots that dont follow the news, eat at mcdonalds all the time, whatever. but you'd be ignoring the fact that there are LOTS of people that are born here and ARENT like that at all. *sigh*
I hate it when people stereotyp all Americans as rich, especially when a quarter of the country doesn´t even have health insurance.
Canadians are just really weird when it comes to national pride. But so are Americans. Canadians actually seem to be more arrogant, though. Fortunately, there are some smart Canadians like Fizzy who don't buy into the rhetoric of their peers.
yeah gotta love canadians like fizzy. i mean, lived in poverty most of my life and blah blah blah...not getting into it. i never hated every country and then have hate turned on me... er, what ever. like you said, people will be people.
i love this country just not the government...but the land is great...warm places...cold places...deserts...forests...ocean...the great lakes...ahhh what a great place to live...im just dissapointed in not all but some of the MAJOR dissisions the government has been making also most of the people i know are are very friendly and nice...but we do have a very high crime rate compared to other countries ...
well a lot of people i talk with dont hate americans, like myself. i dont hate them , disagree with their government but definitly dont pegg it onto the people! and we arent just like them! we're very similar of course but in general weve got a very diffrent national mentality so cant be JUST like them.
i disagree alex. you are just like us cause we're all just people. doh. god, im gonna have a dumb attack.
i know we're all just people trish, thats not what i was getting at...our national mentalities are diffrent
of course, but that isnt what this thread was about. it was about people being people and not blaming the people for the government. i was just staying on topic with the original post.
