A question for you USA-haters ??

its hip to hate americans.
my favorite is when people say shit like "you americans are so prejudice",
"you americans are ignorant" and the fake stats are the best "a survey shows that 60% of americans cant spot their own country on a globe (always these 'legitament' surveys conveniently lack a source)
and people fail to see the tragic irony in their statements. so apparently its not ignorant and prejudice to generalise and pigeonhole americans. in fact, its hip and exhibits great intelligence.

Why do you persist to convince them omegaman? They're hatmongerers, wether it's race, nationality, ethenticity, religon, etc. Hate has no bearing on logic or reasoning. It's the most stubborn, ignorant form of thought pattern one can create. It's useless to try and understand it.

You would save yourself alot of greif if you just ignored thier stupidity. You may not like what they think, but that's why God gave us free-will, so we could LEARN better rather then just DO better. Treat thier posts like a five year old was writing it, as that's about the level mentality of a hater..

Why are you assuming people who dislike American foreign policy hate American people?

Here are some figures for you on the tusnami.......

American Government gave $950 million and private American donations were 800 million....thans almost 2 billion dollars!!!

Between 1992 and 2001, Japan was the largest donor of ODA in "real dollars."

you americans are ignorant"

THe END IS Near who gives a shit

I hardly think Omegaman would've raised such a stir had most of the comments been over the latter..

This board seems to have had alot of "USA haters" this year especially. Talking about how bad, selfish,cruel,etc we are! Now that we have had a huge disaster of our own, it will be interesting to see how many other countries come out to "aide" us this time around! The facts are the WE are ALWAYS one of the biggest contributors in aide to other countries in "times of need". I for one say we do way more for other countries than we do for ourselves and its NOT even appreciated or respected!! I am sick of it! Let's see some other country step up for once! How much money do you think will come from other countries into the USA for disaster relief........?????........I bet NOT one measly dollar!

thats where it gets cloudy.
smart people are able to separate the two, but many more
are simply resentful of americans, maybe not because of who we are,
but simply that they need a nation of people to resent....who knows.

i just see alot of people, especially here, bashing americans in general.
im sure you dont, but you will find that many do.

Was that directed towards me or PVS? Because I was assuming nothing, the fact is most people comment on "Americans" being "stupid, lazy, self-centerd pricks" rather then "they're form of goverment is an atrocity".

Listen, we are having a perfectly civilised conversation about the American aid budget... you, for some reason read it as a prejudiced assualt on Americans.... I have American friends! So please, read the posts PROPERLY before coming out with such silly statements.

Both. No one thus far has said anything about "Americans being stupid, lazy, self-centerd pricks" we've corrected incorrect misinformation that Omegaman posted in an aggressive fashion.
Read the entire thread and see whose being calm and rational and who isn't before making such blanket comments.

Whenever someone needs money or support, suddenly America is everybody's best friend. Then any other time then pick on them and leave them out of house parties. It's like the niave rich kid who's spoiled but has a good heart, and just cause everyone else isn't quite as rich they're jealous so they expect stuff because he's rich, but still want to treat him like shit.. You can't have it both ways..

Spelljammer-Thanks for lending me a hand, but all this just proves my point! NO ONE has be able to show me "one red cent" that some other country has given to the USA in our time of disaster. NOT IN realtive or proprotional , or REAL dollars!!

They just want to attack the USA again for not giving enough,not thanking them for all the aid we do give! They need to learn the saying .."Dont bite the hand that feeds you!".

I just hate America's patriotism...

Thank you for the aid you have given.

There you go 🙂

By the way, Bush has expressed a wish NOT to recieve any aid.

Please can you apologise for assuming that we are all Ameirca-haters?
