American Views

Maybe the creator of this map is American....

And by that you mean "how a relatively small percentage of europeans consider Americans to see the world"

you dont happen to be european do you?

I do happen to be a European, why?

forget it, no reason

I must say, they got our opinion of them spot on.

The **** is an "Africa"? You need to lay off of that freedom juice there son!

one can never have too much freedom juice. he just needs more.

Freedom juice? you mean new Zealand's water?

this picture coming from the guy saying "can we grow up"

It amazes me how oblivious you people are to your own hypocrisy

Well after seeing so many posts about how the US has such an arrogant view on themselves I figured it must be true and posted this.

**** no, but if you look at funny junks logic, it is slightly true but in another way. most the Europeans and people from the UK believe that most Americans have an imperialistic view of themselves and just bleed arrogance. When in reality I've only met a couple of Americans that think "we're the best etc." the rest work their asses off to live despite the countries economic standings. Sorry if this doesn't make sense, I'm going back and fourth between this and assignments.

It amazes me. I see these posts and it's justified by people who say that Americans do the exact same thing? Since when? When on this website have we ever seen this kind of behavior from Americans? Everyone can trash on the US all they want, but if you're an American you absolutely cannot make fun of another country, otherwise you're "the arrogance why people hate America." Yeah, but now they wonder why Americans hate them? I mean are they that oblivious to their own hypocrisy?

In my opinion this claim that Americans are arrogant, pretentious pricks is just a made up way for these people to try and rationalize what they do. I mean I always ask where are these posts of Americans behaving like this, and not once has somebody supplied me with a link. It's an inferiority complex man, I mean seriously

It's getting old too. I haven't seen one person back up their claims except by throwing statistics into the mix, and as soon as someone brings opposing facts or stats it's automatically "different". I've become extremely disappointed in FJ lately/

People try to justify their position and can't. I once used statistics from 2010, and yet those stats were "out of date," which showed that the US had actually improved exponentially. Then I see people constantly using statistics from like 2002 and yet they're still relevant.

It just gets to the point that people are either trolling, or they suffer from such an inferiority complex they have to demean the US. I could understand that from the fact that Canada, UK etc, are very competitive, and they just have to try and bring down the big dog to make themselves feel better. It's like people who try and tear down the Steelers or 9ers (both teams that I hate) because those team's success in the past gives them some bragging rights. Or better yet, the US is like the New York Yankees of the world

I think the Yankees are a good comparison haha. Yea, I used to not give a **** when people talked like that, but it's really getting old and people are making themselves / their countries look bad. I've been to the UK, Belgium, Germany, and a French province, had a blast and most of the people I was with who were from other countries had been to the States and loved it. Even a former British Paratrooper goes to the States once a year to have a good time. All I see in FJ is a bunch of childish people claiming their country is better despite the fact that they've probably never been far out of it.

People can joke on each other's countries, that's okay. But when you tell us we're not allowed to do it, than that's BS. It's hypocrisy. I think THAT'S what pisses us off, at least me anyways.

Oh yea, most of my international friends and I make jokes about each other, but they are humorous, not just talking **** .

Same with me. But if you tell me I can't do something than it's just BS,

By the way, what do you think of my response here?

Good response, can't wait to see him throw a stupid statistic on how his country is better back.

Yep. And I like the Dutch . . .

I don't really laugh at the ****** and women jokes, they're just over-used. Like your momma



jokes.

Yeah, when people get serious about those first two, **** goes down...

exactly

Yep, we definitely know how to make porn.

i'm from resident evil. cool.

I live right next to the I in swimming pool

your proving yourself wrong by posting that picture

see comment #63

so what did you want to achieve with that comment?

It's ******* retarded how much us Europeans try to bash Americans for no ******* reason. If they had NEARLY as many pictures bashing EU as we do bashing them, the resulting ********* would drown out the internet

someone has a rage boner for us btw..

germany gets a huge load of **** ...
and france from time to time
american italians embarres themselfs so..
idk meng
seems like ur just plain wrong on this one

america is the center of the world, believe it or not, we get enough **** of our own

But not even close to how much we dish out

I love you

I am european **** nugget

you're* If you are going to make an argument at the very least use correct grammar and spelling.

Because we are.

Overly nationalistic and arrogant? Yeah, won't argue that

Like you Americans.

Except we've done something to earn it

Done nothing, countrie was discovered by Europeans, currency invented by us, the Dutch, names of places also taken from us; New-York, founded as New-Amsterdam, Haarlem, Den Haag, New Utrecht. You did **** .

I guess you're going to say, "Too long didn't read."

Yeah, that's because the US has achieved a lot you ********

*country was not discovered by Europeans. Country was established by the Second Continental Congress, and has had a diverse background since it's conception.

Done nothing? You man other than the air plane, lasers, internet, digital computers, or our advancements in medicine? Oh, and the fact that the movie industry probably wouldn't have been around if OUR production companies weren't willing to finance it?
You mean other than the fact that the US has won the most gold metals in olympic history despite not competing in every one of them? You mean the fact that the US has won more medals, PERIOD, than any other country?

Or do you mean apart from the fact that the US has produced more Nobel Prize winners than any other country and TWICE as much as the runner up country?

You mean apart from the fat that every form of popular music for the last century originated in the US: Jazz, blues, rock, metal, hip-hop, rap?

You mean apart from the fact that the US supplied the funds necessary for the allies to win WW1? Or that without the Lend-Lease Act the Soviets and the British would have had no means to fight the Nazis and Italian in Europe? Or the fact that the US single handedly won the Pacific Campaign against the more well established Japanese military that was actually more powerful than the German or Italian forces? And that afterwards the US supplied all the funds to REBUILD Europe AFTER the War with the Marshall Plan?

Oh yeah you're right we did nothing, you Dutch are so much more superior. STFU idiot

You mean, you mean, you mean. You talk much, but don't say anything. You think YOU'RE so superior because just like China, your country inhabits so many people it can find the right person for everything. Hurr durr look at us we won most medals. Other countries have to specialize at some branches, but you can push everything. Even though more than half of America is too fat anyway, still you think you all accomplished much but you don't. Strange how you can finance all your **** with a government debt of more than 16.7 BILLION dollars. Yeah, finance some more, noone will miss those millions. And don't make me laught about the US' help in ww2 where it just sat back and watched as the world burned, only to show their face out of Mcdonalds when they were attacked. Dropping 2 bombs on Japan, so superior. If it were so powerfull why did it take them so long to get through the Axis defenses in northern Europe? Because they weren't soldiers, just kids send out as human shields. And after the war trying to look like the good guy again by giving supporting money xD yea, right, we can save our own ass tyvm. Maybe you should mention the moonlanding one more time. Anyways, keep up that debt, and reply from Mcdonalds free wifi.

LOL so now you have to completely change the subject of the conversation once it doesn't go your way?
I think we're superior because we're more important. I think our contributions outweigh any other country's for the last century, I think our #1 rated college system means we produce better people for the future.

Yeah we can push everything, that's another reason why we're superior. We're the largest producer of software, agriculture, electronics. And we're still one of the major producers of everyday necessities, like wood and oil.

"Half of America is too fat."
Hey we're not starving, and you should know that those stats are 33% accurate. They measure weight in comparison to height. But hey, I like our fat people. They're still good people.

That debt is private, the public doesn't have a debt, and that debt is owed to our own banks. Do more research into economically. And you're not really that bad when you have a gross GDP of 16 TRILLION. Yeah, the debt is trillion, not billion.

Oh US didn't do anything in WWII. Thanks for admitting your own ignorance, and clearly you are too lazy to even look up the Lend Lease. Remind how much help you were in the Pacific. Heck, the CANADIANS (with our help) had to free you. Way to go Dutch people!

Why did it take so long? Because we were fighting Japan and had to help stop the Soviets who were on the verge of collapse, BUILD the weapons and reinforce Britain who had nothing left after they retreated from France, you idiot.

I don't eat fast food, and when I do I eat In and Out. It's good, really good. Hey maybe we'll call in your debt to us, see how that goes ; )

jorisnl is one dumbass.
