I don't believe that most of the world and it inhabitants are envious of us BUT I will say this ..... there are a bunch of you out there that are rude as hell to us .... just b/c we had the misfortune or fortune to be born here or who rules us at the time* .... you have no right to judge us by our leaders* ....
So many of you get righteous about defending Muslims and how not all Muslims are terrorists, blah, blah, blah ..... but you tend to do the same to us ... we are all a bunch of red necks, egotistical, pampered or whatever derogatory adjective you want to use and lump us all together ..... so many hypocrites .....* |
I think this is directed at me is it not
anyways if it was, then it was in no way my intention to come across as rude or offencive, (can't see how I could be that from my post, so it is probably directed at us all who are not americans)
Anyways, did I say all americans? don't think so, I said all the americans I had met sofar, and
they, as in them I have met in the flesh seemed to be high and mighty, it sure doesn't help that your governmnet is so (how to say it polite hmmm) stupid, for your guys overall image, I know there are lots of you who are against the government(I don't like the government here either)
And belive me there is a huge difference on americans who have been over here for some time, and those who only are here for a visit.
Name calling or blaming others of name calling doesn't help anybit, it only makes it worse.
I know we over here across the pond like to think you guys to be a bunch of religious obese rednecks, but do not try to say that there is something similar going the other way over the water.
And just so you know (in my own defence) I only judge people I have met, or had longer conversations with online, I'm just as biased as a new born baby (slight exageration there) I have just been through too much **** to be able to judge others before I've met them, they don't deserve it, you included.
So quite frankly I think you are overreacting a bit.
It is not my fault your defence choose Airbus over Boeing in making that plane, it just shows we are better
For me, I'm trying as well as I can not to be offensive, but at the same time some fun doesn't harm.
Cheers
