Quoted for Truth. Maybe a little "Win" too.

Americans are the most egotistical people. We think we win all the wars, have the best lives, the best economy, the best schools... etc etc... In reality, we have the most nukes. We threaten people. That's how we maintain world domination, by inciting people to fear us, by using terror.
I'm actually going to have to agree with this.

I just want to point out that I love how it's "in" thing to hate America these days.
Who gives you this impression that we hate anything that isn't American and that we have no clue about anything beyond our borders? The people news shows interview? If that's the case, do me a favor and go watch and interview of some one in Kansas after a big tornado. Did they find a well-spoken, rational person? God no. They went out and found the most ignorant, most hyped-up person they could. It's just what they do.
Maybe it's the history books we use in our schools. Is that what it is? Because America is the only country to put a spin on history so that we look like the good guys, right? No! Every country, to the best of their ability, changes history so they look like the good guys.
I am a conservative, white, healthy, straight, young male and I don't fit into the generalizations you're throwing out. Most people don't. What's funniest about the people that tend to crack on America for having an ignorant view of the world (Heh, Canadians live in ingloos and have pet polar bears!) generalize Americans just as badly, if not worse, than they accuse us of generalizing...
And one final thing: A LOT of this country (I don't know the percentage) is either an immigrant themselves or is at most two generations removed. I don't think people tend to diss their grandparents.
TL;DR: You make fun of America for being ignorant and generalizing? Congratulations, you hypocrite, you just did what you made fun of us for. Also, most of us don't fit that bill.

Wow! You convinced me! Americans are sensitive, insightful, and knowledgable people who view the world with eyes of equality.
In case you missed it, that was sarcasm. If it is any consolation, I prefer your rosy fantasy over reality any day.
Good job at being a close-minded jackass. I never claimed that there aren't idiots in America. I just said that you're the idiot if you think most of us are like that. I realize I'm wasting my time here. You're on the "I Hate America" bandwagon, and you're JUST as blind in your generalizations as that which you claim to hate.
Blind bigotry is FTL, no matter what you're being a bigot about.

I'm not on any bandwagon, Ganit.
I personally hate the way America is forcing it's politics, culture, ways of thinking, changed spellings and everything else on me in my society. I am, on a daily basis, being bombarded with American things, America this, America that and it annoys me. The bombarding of American culture on many people around the world can become an identity crisis for some. That is what I dislike.
I am just sick of being surrounded by American everything quite frankly. I'm not jumping on a "lol america sucks" Bandwagon like people did with Twilight, I'm giving my reasons why I dislike it. Although I shouldn't have to explain myself to you.

I was fine with what you said up until this. You shouldn't have to explain yourself? You're right... you should go around calling me (and everyone I know) ignorant and self-righteous then proceed to talk crap about the country I call home and I'm supposed to just be cool with that? I don't know where you're from Patty, but what if I started talking smack about wherever that is. Saying that everyone from there was this or that... I bet you'd get upset, too, right?
It goes both ways.

Oh and Queggy, what is the difference between a teleprompter and a speech written on paper? They say the same thing, only one doesn't fly away or get mixed up and jumbled....
My point was that he doesn't come up with his speeches; his staff does.

There's a guy who's name I don't know, but his entire job is to write Obama's speeches. Obama hasn't written a speech since well before his Presidential campaign began.
