What group or type of people do you dislike most?

Even if I would perceive it all like that as well I still would not come to the conclusion of killing William just because he's family

 

Hmm. Compromise? How about flushing them down my toilets?

Bottom line is, once we started exercising our "democratic right to end a monarchy", they'd start killing people ie they'd be the ones starting the civil strife.

I know people who've been in politics, and they've always said "its not really a democracy, they just want you to think it is".

 

I don't hate anyone in particular, see humanity as equal in varying ways. Each person, and group has it's own strengths and weaknesses

 

You can conclude that. Over here on planet earth we will conclude something different. China has a robust economy - because of us. And it's based on a completely unsustainable path. Not that the US is the definition of that right now either, but either way what I originally said is true whether you like it or not.

 

They are less noticeable, and therefore a lot less of a nuisance. Since they aren't nearly as many of them, and they do not live in entire communities which correspond to the stereotype.

 

Its academic because I wouldn't just post on the Net "lets kill Prince Farfaraway".

But I'd be happy (ok ecstatic!) if they weren't here. His lot would be the ones starting the killing. So it would be more an issue of self defence after that.

 

That's a very silly, youthful, ignorant and dangerous way to view humanity.

 

I don't really dislike one or the other country to be on top of the world economy. Planet earth... You mean America?
Like you said, even though China's growth depended and it's economy still depends partially on that of the US does not make the US more influential in the world by definition. There are other 'superpowers' as well.
I think it is hard to measure who has the most and exactly how much influence they have at the exact moment but I think it is reasonable to conclude it is not the US anymore that is economically above all other. Not sure what makes you believe otherwise, except that the dollar is still influencing the world currency. If it's true you might convince me with some other arguments

Ah yes, sounds logical :cheers2:

 

I am sorry that you feel that way. It does not surprise me though.

 

It does not surprise me that some uncultured, poorly traveled, self-proclaimed 24 year old hippie thinks so.

You'd know how inherently different people are, and what a great deal this difference plays in the world, if you stepped outside your cow shit shack once in a while and smelled past the patchouli.

 

Innovation, for one. We are imitated all over the world, our methods and ideas.

GDP.



As you can see, your statements might have some validity in 20-50 years if the current global trends continue, but as of now the proof is in the pudding. In more ways than one.

And no, I mean planet earth. Reality in other words. Just because you are biased against the US as most Europeans are now that you forgot we saved your asses twice, does not change reality. A spade is a spade.

 

Unfortunately tho, GDP isn't particularly helpful in deciding how successful a country is.

 

Uhm, my ass was not saved by you (since you used we). What your country or fellow countrymen did for my countrymen 60 years ago should not have to influence my judgement. The world is not static, so aren't the american people and neither are the europeans. I appreciate what retired oldtimers did for people like me in WW2, no matter where they came from but I don't give your current government any credit for it. But I also want to clarify I do not find your nation inferior to mine or Europe as a whole at all (as you seem to think)!
It's just that a lot of your countrymen (and you seem to be a good example of it) are awfully biased when it comes to world economy, global politics and the standard of living themselves, which indeed makes them and your country as a whole (no thanks to your government of course which I see seperately from their citizens, don't worry) look quite megalomaniac to other people in the world. And yes, since they love to let their judgement, stereotypes and the humor based on that known on this forum I don't see why I shouldn't do the same about America, especially when it's so easy to do. I even see a lot of americans make a lot of stereotypical jokes about your fellowmen and often other american people enjoy them and agree with those. But when it comes from an european fellow it immediatly seems as biased criticism. A bit laugable on itself, don't you think?

 

Apparently you don't understand the word varying. Varying means to give variety to, to make something diverse. We as a people are a varying but inherently equal group. As I already said. It is not to say that we are all the same, but each man or woman has his or her viewpoints, skills, and abilities. This makes us all different. Yet in the end it also makes us all equal.

 

I can't stand racists. Or woman beaters.

 

I can agree with that. But it still points out economic leaders, which was my original point to begin with. I'm well aware we have a lot of problems that take away from our overall success and quality of life for many of us.

 

Is tonight comedy night? ROFLMAO

Is that what they teach you over there?

For the record. American caused WW2 because of a moronic peace settlement in WW1 designed to cause instability and war. And more importantly, your Establishment chose to build up Hitler to cause warring, hoping you could then take centre stage.

And as for who won the war, well it was actually Russia(by a GIGANTIC way), with some help from Britain and a couple of others.

America only joined in, as usual to save its own "asses" and get some benefits. You believed some silly forged map of S America written in bad German. And you were terrified Stalin was gonna take over all of Europe(which he had no intention of doing).

So there we are... you stand corrected. Who knows, one day, you may even be able to point to Europe on a map..:2thumbsup:

Othe groups I hate? Ignorant, narcissistic Americalanders, who know nothing about the World or its history...

 

in all fairness i think most of the world resents the spread of American culture.

 

I had a grandfather over there and some family members die so I can say 'we' if I feel like it.. And your ass was saved, you'd either be dead, never born to begin with, or speaking German.

One thing we can agree on, I don't give my current gov't credit for anything good. Most of us are at odds with our own gov't. Other than that we are just going to have to agree to disagree.

I have some mcdonalds to go eat, can't spend all day arguing. I mean damn.

 

As they text on their iphones. I know.
