exactly.

and wuTa, to me it's just kind of embarrasing being an American, I can't explain it, but the gov't sort of implies to the rest of the world (and even to us) that we're all in favor of the war, etc... Plus I hate the whole "big, bad-assed American guy" stereotype... You do this, you're gay, you do this, you're a wimp... And the one about "ah well Bush is in office, who gives a shit, ah well now we're destroying the planet, who gives a shit, ah well, now we're killing thousands of people, but who gives a shit because I have a good life"... I hate political correctness, how after 9/11 it was like this competition to see who could fly the most flags... Like even your comment just now, it's like there's something wrong with you if you aren't proud to be an American... Even though most of the country is liberal, there's this negative vibe emanating from, well, everything... Now I'm just rambling I can't explain it really

It IS kind of hard to explain. I admire you for trying, DR...

So, today, though, my "friend" said America sucked and she wanted to go to Canada, and nobody said a word about it. Here in the south, though, the stereotypes are evrywhere. Rebel flags... I'm sick of it. Will someone come and take me away?

i kinda get were u two are comin from if u ask me its the politicians we have no diea who to trust...bush hasnt done shit but coz a war for all the wrong reasons and now u got kerry comin in who says he fo rthe common man....how the f*ck can u be for the common man when your family is worth like a quater of a billion dollars. if u ask me this country needs a revolution

That could go over in the "whats the biggest lie you've ever been told" thread in the GDF.

πŸ™„ Wow, thats rich...calling French ignorant, when American stereotype is that all Americans are fat and stupid!

There's many french stereotypes. Them being ignorant is just one. Others are, they are smelly, mean, and hateful.

And where did you get that? How many French people do you know?

Also, where did the 'hatefull' stereotype come from? (im not critisisng here, im asking, since i wasnt familiar with that stereotype)

In your post, up there, you said that what i said could be interpreted as a lie...its not however, French people happen to be polite and nice as well as tolerant.
Its very ironic that you say they are smelly because they are the oens who first started with the perfume.
They also dont have all the fast food McDonnalds crap βœ…

As for American people, apart from BKK I have yet to meet an American who will give a GOOD representation of America and their people, and i have spoken to many Americans, being at University with a large number international students.

you cant ansewer where a stereotupe came from thats why there stereotypes....i've heard that stereotype of French people bein rude ignorant or smelly......in your post u said your not be critical but it sounds like your being defense...maybe the french got labeled as ignrant because america saved them twice but when america wants help they dont wanna help us.....and you've probly only heard one good representation of america coz most americans dont care what the french think of us like u said they already labeled as as fat and stupid so why would we car what they think...its someone called u fat and stupid i doubt u cared what that person would think

excuse me πŸ˜‚ SAVED?!?!?!?! please elaborate on that πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚

To strike someone on the face until they are to dazed for rational thought, and thus "silly." Makes perfect sense to me.
