Popularity of the US around the world

Samwise is right.  The real enemy to the Western World are the Islamic extremists who seem to be quite numerous in the Arab world as well as other Islamic countries.  Most of these extremists want to see the destruction of the US and I am sure Europe not soon after - or at least convert Europe to Islam.

I don\'t see a boatloads of Americans heading toward Europe to get away from the US government.

Respectfully stfu.

Do you see boatloads of Europeans heading towards America to get away from their governments?

Besides, you can\'t compare Europe and the US. Europe consists of a lot of different countries.

I hate, really REALLY hate the sort of "we\'re much better/holier than you" attitude - nomatter if it\'s from an American, a European or someone from a whole other nation. I look upon myself as a world citizen, not some uptight nationalistic f*cker who can only see other\'s faults. :evil: Those people make me sick to my stomach and I hope they\'ll rot and burn in hell.

Dude chill!

I get swept up in patriotism and I don\'t like what I am seeing from our so-called friends.

P.S. This is America and I will not STFU. Thank You!

I think we know what pushes Samwises buttons

He has a point though.

That\'s just plain delusional.

I do like pushing buttons. I will note this in my big book of buttons.

Well Ace you and I are in the minority on this forum.  I guess I shall vote you Minority Leader and I can be the Minority Whip.

Hehe, I\'m sorry guys, but I hate ignorance from either sides. I don\'t know why people can\'t just accept eachother for what they are and be positive.

Besides there\'s propaganda and stupid people in both the US and Europe (and everywhere in the world for that matter). Some people are, and always will be, narrowminded sheep. There\'s not much we can do about that. But we can however choose to be above that - be critical of BS no-matter where from (nationally or internationally). Don\'t get swept away and remember: Intelligence and rational people do exist everywhere. Even if it doesn\'t seem that way sometimes.

I know that. I was being funny, I thought. I guess I have to use more smiley faces.

Ace

Now come on ooseven, there is no need for that kind of attitude.  I know you don\'t particularly like the US, but there is no need to belittle us Americans who do happen to love our country.

yeah you should

ohhhhh only in America


damn forgot the smiley face ;8)

Giga, I think it was an attempt at humor; if a bit misplaced IMO.

Hey Giga,

I have to recruit you in my army. I go to some other boards (not gaming) and I have to deal with a lot of lefties. They seem to be generally good people, but as far as I am concerned they live on Pluto. I\'m sure they say the same about me.
