Something that pisses me off about XBOX

I hope you\'re not throwing everyone into this generalization of yours...

I don\'t consider myself or anyone I know to be white trash...and I don\'t think lowly of anyone for their personal taste or preference.

ginko, being from texas you should know more than most what the deline of the western civilization is all about

you, yourself, might not be in the group i describe
but youll see it if you look outside

i also dont discriminate against people with poor taste, i just pity them and glad they dont crowd my interests

I absolutley love Texas, but hate the stereotypes that get thrown in with being associated with it.  

What are you trying to say here...

I\'m not stupid, and I have traveled quite a bit in the states. I know there are a diverse group of people out there ranging across all classes, intelligence, and cultures...same can be said for any country.

i also dont discriminate against people with poor taste, i just pity them and glad they dont crowd my interests

What makes you the standard?

i dont make the standard, the outside world does

the US is hated or distrusted by probably 80% of the world

americans themselves are hated or jaded against by probably the same numbers

america uses 50% of the worlds energy
america contains the most overweight people per capita
america produces the most refuse

america is filled to the brim with fat, lazy, stupid people

im glad to hear yer not one of them

They are not a people of higher tastes either.  They like anime, child porn, dating sims, -- every society has vices and low-lifes, you are being egocentric and reductionary.

Everything isn\'t beauty and light over there you know.

I agree with some of what you say here, but not being liked by a good portion of the world is fine with me. Most of the people that hate us would give their left (you name the body part) to be here.

As a matter of fact, some die trying.

What makes you so sure of these standards?  Certainly, not every other culture has a different idea than the U.S. but the same as everyone else.

What should I say?  Good guess?  That\'s like me saying I hate/distrust people from the MiddleEastern when I honestly don\'t know one myself.  I\'m not going to throw them all into a stereotype...

americans themselves are hated or jaded against by probably the same numbers

There\'s the generalization again, do they hate me? Why?  Do they hate you? Why?  What would be there reason...

america uses 50% of the worlds energy
america contains the most overweight people per capita
america produces the most refuse

america is filled to the brim with fat, lazy, stupid people

We also probably have the most ammenities and freedom of anything else out there.  It\'s a shame, it seems you take it for granted...

im glad to hear yer not one of them

To think that you would look down on people like that makes me feel sorry for you...

well, yeah

they have this image of america the beautiful
the land of the free, home of the brave

till they get here, and they wind up homeless or in a shelter, or working the streets

That\'s pretty cynical mm. Almost as cynical as me. I do believe that anyone can be as prosperous as they want in this country. It happens all the time.

Ace

thier the ones who were smart and came with money, or had family here to get help

im VERY cynical when it comes to the USA

i love my country, but i frickin HATE my government

I just want to say that most americans are very paranoid inviduals who profile

and yeah i can back it up

My my you paint with a broad brush.

Anyway, I do not always agree with our government but it sure is better than the alternative.

What was this thread about again?

Ace

the alternative?  you mean the little ideology called a DEOMCRACY?!

dont think for a second that we live in one now

we live inside a policed state, not even commonwealths anymore

aCk!  *must control rage* ...........


:P

Can I ask you why you think we live in a police state?
