complete and total counterproductive horseshit. you continue to insult the whole of the american population to make yourself feel inteligent and validated. spew your hateful crap on some other thread, because all you are doing is destroying any intelligent debate concerning world affairs. really, contribute or leave. or you can just continue trolling, in which case ill report you. 😬

list out an agenda of how i, the dumb american, can prove my worth and can finally be recognised among the greatness of everyone who is not from america, u.k., or isreal. no rhetoric, no insults, no bullshit damning diatribes which make the will of myself and bush one and the same. (example: YOU INVADED IRAQ!!! YOU MURDER INNOCENTS!!!! etc)
leave the high horse behind, and assume that i am genuinly a 'dumb american' and dont know better. its now up to you to steer me in the proper direction, or else you are ignoring your responsibility as an intelligent non-american to educate and help me understand. its up to you now to sheppard the ignorant. up for the challenge? here we go....
WHAT. SHOULD. I. DO> or more to the point, what would you do if you were in my shoes. [/B]
its just frikin impossible isnt it? yet people still find time to run their mouths nonstop....never even attempting to answer the question
that was aimed at the people who barged in and did exactly what i asked not to, because really they have no solution and thus to confront that would shatter their world, which internet heresay and humor has painted for them. and then they may just have to face their own hypocrisy and blame the people responsible rather than blaming the people who happen to live on the same chunk of land.

Maybe they are just "title readers" though....

Shouldnt the title be 'Dumb US Citizens' ?Why involve an entire continent or two for 1 nation ?
Thats dumb ! 😛
every country has stereotypes. I could have named a few, but I found a list that pretty much hits the nail on the head...
Africans are uncivilized, wear loincloths, carry spears and fight lions. Their women have saggy breasts and their children are starving. Most have AIDS and will kill people for food. In a fit of pride they'll toss the decendants of their former colonial overlords off of productive farms. As they begin to starve they must then beg their former colonial overlords for food aid.
Afro-Caribbeans are portrayed either as pot smoking, uneducated, jobless slackers or people that work multiple jobs. Like their Afro-American brethren, they're stereotypically attracted to large, white women and tend to womanize.
Americans are obese, ignorant, illiterate, selfish, pushy, aggressive, not afraid of bellicose solutions to international problems no matter how minor they are, and/or arrogant, indifferent towards international affairs. Also seen as conservative to a fault. Many international films tend to swirl American cultural stereotypes into one. A flaky, Valley Girl type American stereotype would often be portrayed wearing a cowboy hat or a New York Yankees baseball cap (Those stereotypes would be better fitting Easterners or Southwesterners)
-Italian-Americans are all in the Mafia, wear dark suits and wear sunglasses and have a moustache. Those who are not in the Mafia have Italian restaunts or are Janitors. They speak either very slowly or very quickly and often have bad accents.
-New Jersey natives have a "New York Accent" and pronounces Jersey as 'Joisy'. They are all mobsters, they can determine where other Jerseyans live by asking, "What exit?" (in regards to the New Jersey turnpike), and eat at diners on a regular basis. People from New Jersey spend most of their free time at the mall.
-African-Americans are lazy and receive numerous forms of government aid. They are members of gangs and have been to prison for crack-cocaine possession. Are known to use strange hair products that make their hair greasy, and often keep a hair pick or comb handy, by placing it in their hair. Women are large and have enormous breasts and buttocks. Men are said to have large penis's and wear their pants low, a style to which they became accustomed when their belts were taken away in prison. African-Americans love fried chicken, watermelon, gold teeth, and rap music. All are aspiring rap stars. Men have fathered numerous children with different women, and have raised none of them.
-Southern Californians Are flaky and ditzy. Seen as not having skills to survive in the real world.
-Northern Californians are dirty hippies, out of touch with the world and unbearably smug.
-Midwesterners are seen as provincial and out of touch with popular culture and have odd Scandinavian and Germanic influenced cusine. Northern Midwesterners speak in a Scandinavian influenced accent.
-American Southerners are racist, backwards, uneducated, slick-talking, and or brash. They usually drive large pick-up trucks and wear cowboy hats. They are obsessed with guns, country music, fishing and hunting, and NASCAR.
Asians are good at math and science, but horrible at driving cars. Could never pronounce R's and L's correctly and are polite to a fault. They are obsessed with technology, ie. mobile phones, mp3 players and cameras.
Australians wear weatherbeaten hats with dangling corks, and are good at sports as well as being ignorant.
Canadians Are dependent on the government. They are fond of beer and love hockey and hate Americans. They end almost evey sentence with the question, "eh?". They are also know for eating their famous 'Kraft Dinner' and saying 'aboot' instead of 'about.'
Cubans, especially Miami based Cuban-Americans, are extremely anti-communist, business oriented, and clannish.
The English are either reserved, public school-educated gentlemen (often wielding a bowler hat and rolled umbrella, and never far from a cup of tea and a crumpet) or loud Cockneys (see Dick Van Dyke's portrayal of Bert the chimney sweep in Mary Poppins), often with a taste for football hooliganism. Both tend to be overly deferential to the Queen and authority figures in general. BBC: "What do you think about issue X?" Typical response: "Oh I don't know, I'd just leave it up to the experts." Lastly, they are famous for their substandard dental hygiene.
French people never bathe, smoke heavily, always wear a beret, eat frogs' legs, are rude, and are rather weak and cowardly Additionally, they are liberal to a fault. They travel by bicycle with a string of onions around their neck. The French also enjoy 'smelly' cheeses, Jerry Lewis, and escargot.
Germans (and Austrians) are Nazis, consume huge amounts of beer, sausages, and sauerkraut. They behave like machines, efficient but unemotional {like The Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) for example}. They have no sense of humor. They wear lederhosen and are good at making cars. All Germans have blonde hair and blue eyes.
Greeks are conservative, superstitious, family oriented and extremely clannish, as seen in the comedy My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
Asian Indians smell like curry, live next door and either own restaurants,hotels, or convenience stores, drive taxicabs or are employed in the IT sector or work in Gas stations. Generally they are thrifty (e.g. bargaining at the stores, etc.), and like to show off/take credits. Tends to have a large Vocabulary in English, to the point where they would use very technical terms for simple things. Also portrayed as nerdy. Aspire to the american dream.
Irish are backwards and of low intelligence. Drunk and/or fiery-tempered redheads and have a large amount of children. They drink Guinness and like horse racing. They are also Catholic and hate the English.
Italian men are chauvinists, mobsters, hot-blooded and/or over-emotional, vain, and live an indulgent lifestyle. Often they are fashionable and elegant looking and drive sport cars.
Japanese are workaholics and are of short stature; Japanese tourists spend their entire trip taking pictures of things. They copy and try to fit the western cultures. Guys pluck their eye brows and dye their hair in red. More importantly, they are poor drivers, driving ten miles per hour below the speed limit and not using turn signals. They are good at making cars and motorbikes i.e. Honda .
Jews are careful and obsessed with money, usually do commerce or finance related jobs and many of them are obsessed with religion. They can't throw away stuff without a refund. Most Jewish children are encouraged to become either bankers, lawyers or doctors and Jewish women are strongly urged to marry a wealthy man or professional. Jews usually have large noses. They usually are also portrayed as having dark hair and skin.
Mexicans are unkemot, drink too much tequila and Bud Light and work hard dirty jobs for little money. Most are seen as arriving into the USA undocumented. They are either obese or scrawny and take naps when they should be working. All Mexicans are given to histrionics. Most Mexican women are cleaning ladies and begin having babies when they are teenagers (many of these teens attempt to fling themselves across the Rio Grande as their water is breaking for decent hospitalization and the welfare benefits their U.S. citizen children can garner). Additionally, many Mexicans pass the time selling drugs, playing soccer and raping white woman. They are devoutly Catholic, although most do not attend church, especially the older women and almost always wear Crucifixes. Men generally sport a black mustache and a poncho and sombrero. Both sexes are fond of cheap gold jewelry, which contains a Catholic theme or their first or surname. Sunday is a "family day" and they will do anything to get out of work to go to the park with their family (including the extended family) on this day. They drive late-model Oldsmobiles and Chevys with rims that cost more that the car itself, with a bright, glittery paint job. Love pick-up trucks with hydraulics and 13" wheels with flashy "spinners".
Middle Easterners are Islamic and commit or support terrorist acts. They travel on camels and wear funny hats. They detest Israel and are ruled by evil dicators, who constantly claim everything is a "Zionist conspiracy". They ride flying carpets and have have magical lamps that produce Genies when rubbed.
Native Americans are impoverished, drunks, or noble savages. Moreover, they are unattractive. They run casinos. They can talk to animals.
Polish In the US, they are seen as very dim-witted, and are famous for building a submarine with a screen door, and travelling to the sun (at night). In Europe, they are said to be thieves and pickpockets. In France and sometimes Britain they are seen as cheap and efficient plumbers.
Puerto Ricans tend to be rowdy, the majority of them live on Welfare and apply for Public Housing, and make too much noise. They always drive around with Puerto Rican flags in their cars, sometimes in covering the entire back window of their cars and they have large amounts of people living in very small apartments or houses which they destroy because they never clean and cook terrible smelling food.
Romanians Romanians eat cabage rolls, sausages and polenta. They are really proud of their country but want to leave it when nobody is looking. They never admit their mistakes and are dutifuly compliant with the requests of the US government.
Russians are jovial, drink vodka and are Communists. They are good at chess and logical problems. They love outer space and tetris.
Scottish people wear kilts, play bagpipes, and are violent. They drink massive amounts of scotch and are seen as Neds. Scottish people are also very thrifty with money are very creative. They even have ugly teeth.
Spaniards are people who always have bull races. Their women have unibrows.
Southeast Asians, which include Thai, Burmese, Laotians, Cambodians are generally polite, humble and hospitable.
Swedish are very tall and have blonde hair. Swedish girls are very good looking.

perhaps people outwith the US see the population as responsible for bringing the administration into power in the first place
as a US citizen, you arguably have more sway than a non US citizen (albeit a tiny bit more) with regards to what policies are implemented because of your right to vote
the people who see every American as responsible for the administrations actions have the exact same idiotic opinion as Al qaeda who said after 9/11 that the victims were legitimate targets because they voted the Bush Administration in...totally disregarding the fact the most of them probably didn't vote for Bush given that the republicans never win new york
and hope is not lost entirely for minnisota...they did vote democrat in the 96 election...
PVS, u started the topic n when i gave a view which is RIGHT u call it counterproductive and horseshit. its just this type of arrogance that make's people's blood boil. ill simply give u a summary:
u dont have a problem with hundreds of THOUSANDS of people being killed but DO have a problem if any of those citizens or similar CALL you and the wrest of your coutry DUM? think over that.
