Your country is where you live. Where you live is your country. End of story ('cept for embassadors ect.). This approach makes a lot of things a lot easier. If you keep hanging on to your old loyalties when you move to a new state, the people who live there already are going to view you as a hostile intruder. And rightly so, IMO.

(Mostly that you guys are trying to defend your countries,yet apparently you are doing it with poor spelling:p)

and do you know why. because americans type fast and dont care to look back and check. now i cant understand why you stuck up europeans want to start pointing out flaws with america. ill admit to everyone that america has flaws, AMERICA HAS FLAWS, every country has flaws and no one is perfect but why do you think that you need to point it out for everyone its just not right man, its rude, disrespectful and dishonorable.

 

btw to all the other europeans who are not makeing fun of america im not refering to you.

[Breton]

Can I join in the bashing of Denmark?

 

In World War 2, Germany wanted to invade both Denmark and Norway. Norway had to give up after 2 months of fighting, Denmark lasted a couple of hours... :D

 

Also, no scandinavian who are not from Denmark can understand what a Dane says, belive me I've tried, their writing is easy to get, but their speaking consists nearly only of vocals:rolleyes:.

 

Anyways, every country has their flaws, also Norway. 27 percent votes for FrP on the public opinion poll, wich would show how many egoists there are here.

[starwarsman77]

I must say, at this point im cracking up. I came here today to defend america some more, but instead I find europeans bashing europeans. rofl

But I will say this: I hate Married with Children, and especially The Jerry Springer Show. So Im not a typical american, am I?

Peace on earth................

I'm american for one,you nog.

 

Second,I was talking about BOTH of you,yes Europeans and Americans.

 

Thirdly,"americans type fast and dont care to look back and check" is not true(Look at me) and is really a flaw, ever heard of "haste makes waste"?

 

Edit- Now,my poor spelling insult was meant towards everyone who typed fast but didnt check to make sure they made it correctly. Not to people who have trouble with English or that English is a second language.

Denmark was right on top of Germany! We're flat as a pancake, whereas you have a huge territory with big mountains! We had no tactical advantage ffs!!

 

Also, no scandinavian who are not from Denmark can understand what a Dane says, belive me I've tried, their writing is easy to get, but their speaking consists nearly only of vocals:rolleyes:.

 

LMFAO! I'll give you that, Swedish and Norse is much simpler to understand... but don't let me get in on the completely unintelligible "New Norse" (not to mention Finnish, but they aren't a Scandinavian language).

Firstly, it is not called "Norse", "Norse" was the language the vikings used. Secondly, I can agree with that "New Norwegian" (nynorsk) can be quite hard to understand, it is really annoying that it is required to learn at school, damn farmer language

Sorry 'bout that. I was discussing with Templar whether it was called that, or Norse (blame him! ). Since I know you guys love to be associated with them vikings, I thought "WTF - it's the same deal" and went for it

 

Now Finnish, there's a wickedly weird language

 

Sorry Luc! Don't whip out your entire knife collection on me!

I'm with you. There was no real sense behind this thread, humorous as it is to some people.

Well sorry to trash the party for you but you're not the only intellagent one here. Making this thread prove your lack of the smallest scrap of intellagence. A other thing, the only reason you don't make a spelling mistake is becuase it takes you a minuet to just write "at". I did a test one time and I had 39 words/minuet. You must be a very slow man (Intallect wise) to say............

That's all. People that do make mistakes while typing writes alot of great stories. While people that don't make mistakes write 3 pages with each paragrph saying "she said" or "he said" everytime.

[Pisces]

Wow, it seems like everyone's getting mad at this thread. Anyone ever notice how threads about different countries, religions etc. never really turn out very well?

 

And yeah, America's cool. They're our buddies.

 

o yeah their beer sucks too

 

Strange I always thought we were famous for having good beer.

Meh.

Ah man this thread was made with me in mind....

 

well americans, individually they usually come across as good folk, however the collective use of the word americans makes my hair stand on end for the following reasons:-

 

money obsessed

self indulgent

arrogant

ignorant

megalomaniacal

obese

tacky/tasteless

bad clothes

 

ok well i dont give a flying funk if this offends, these are merely a few words that let you know how the outside world views america.

 

Right i've met a few americans and the ones i've met have been cool(ish) however what you have to bear in mind is that stereotypes are formed from the information that we recieve, usually via newspapers and tv. This is brainwashing or propoganda as you like, and its not easy to break away from years of this brainwashing.

 

For example lets take two shows from the states that typify the american stereotype:- Married with children & Jerry Springer's show.

 

well, married with children is allegedly a comedy show but i have to ask myself the question, "American folk like this?"

 

Jerry Springer:- lol. if these people are real that are on this show then america is in a very bad state indeed.

 

well if you are american and have been offended by this post, i suggest you really do need to read it again.

If you are not offended by this then you are breaking free from the american stereotype, you catch my drift...

 

everyone is money obsessed, you can't deny it; you've never indulged yourself?; not all are arrogant, just like everyone other country in the world, some of it's population is arrogant, while some of it isn't; same as the explanation for arrogant; i'm not obese, over half the people i know aren't obese, don't generalize, some of your fellow countrymen are obese too; tacky/tasteless? does that mean you live in a rich society where how you look matters more than your personality? or how you feel? to me, if i look good then i look good, if i look bad then i look bad, as long as i feel good i'm alright; bad clothes? same as before; jerry springer show is fake, it was admitted; married w/children was just something for people to watch and laugh cuz al bundy had a hard life and whenever something good was gonna happen for him, somethin bad happened to prevent it, it made you feel sorry for him and laugh at his misfortunes. as an american i'm offended by this because it isn't me and if someone automatically passes judgement on someone they don't know then they are a shallow person, i guess i didn't catch your drift but by this post you seem like someone who grew up in a high class area or now lives in one, you seem like a very shallow person and to me that's just pathetic, anyone who judges people before they get to know them is pathetic, i admit i've done it before but never again, because sometimes i made the wrong judgement and i regret it now, so with that said i'll take my leave, go ahead and call me ignorant for not catching your drift but i don't care, i know that i'm better than all of you people who badmouth america because we like to enjoy oursleves a little/lot and we're a rich country and have the power to do what we want when we want, and we have the biggest/most powerful military so we are safe in a war, america is a really nice place to live when you don't have people trying to mess it up or take everything away

haha, that was funny, you made fun of him cuz he is trying to be smart, i kinda/kinda don't agree w/you on the typing error thing, you say since he doesn't have any errors that he takes a while to write his messages, while i agree w/you wholeheartedly, i can say that i type around 70-75 words a minute and since i was always in spelling contests in 5th and 6th grade (i was the best speller in our town, with 3 elementary schools) so some people could be like me(i grew up and there was always a computer at my disposal, and i've taken many many computer classes in high school, i think i'm currently one of the smartest, computer wise, kids in the school), just really comfortable w/computers to be able to spell correctly and type fast, although i know i have my errors too, i'm just saying that's not always the case when someone has no errors, if anyone wants proof of my typing skills find some way for me to prove it, like an online test, i'll do it, but i seriously thought it was funny when you bashed on him, damn people tryin to make fun of ameriCa:D:P

[Ratmjedi]

I haven't read the whole thread but just a few of the reply's on this last page. I saw the Married with Children and the Jerry Springer reffrence. You may say that but what about the typical Sterotype of some country's. Like Britain with bad teeth, the Germans being fat and eating chocolate and beer all the time.

 

Every country has it's problems and typical sterotype's. I could bash any country with the right amount of time and research. I just say think what you want. It is a free world on the net anyway. Bash us all you want. Doesn't hurt me cause it's just a opinion. Everyone has a diffrent one and thats that.

 

You can also check this for spelling and gramatical errors.

I guess your right. I know advance words and what they mean but some I can't spell or I just forgot how. Everyone makes mistakes. Really 39 isn't my words/minuet cuase the test was just 3 lettered words. If I took a real good test with bigger words I would get maybe 60-67 words per minuet but you should see my bro. He can write something and still be watching tv.

[Jago_silver]

American Beer sucks, Canadian beer has alot more flavor.

 

But Americans are used to it,so they don't mind it.Most Canadians can't stand American Beer.

 

typing without looking is easy, anyone who's taken typing courses even the most simple courses can type without looking.

 

I know all the letters by heart and most numbers, and can type at least 25 words per min. thats what I had to do to pass.

 

evryones like OOOooooo he can type without looking. SO.

 

typing 40 words or more a min. is crazy being able to type without looking is not so spectacular.

Watch your mouth, or you will get reported! The mods do not like you calling other people stupid

 

i know that i'm better than all of you people who badmouth america because we like to enjoy oursleves a little/lot and we're a rich country and have the power to do what we want when we want, and we have the biggest/most powerful military so we are safe in a war,

 

Why do you think your country is better than the rest of the world? Do you not think that people in other countries can enjoy themselves? Do you not think other countries are rich? Why can't you people critcize your own country? A lot of things could be better there, as all other countries, so why not point those things out so that it can be changed to the better? And BTW, US would not win a war against all the rest of the world.

 

ameriCa

 

Actually, it is not really America, because America is a name for both North and South America, so "America" includes Chile, Mexico, Brazil and Canada, plus a lot of others.

Money crazed? couldnt be further from the truth. I have no "offical" income whatsoever

 

 

 

To sum up?
