CjTenorSax: True. Also, very sad. Wh have been asked for help so many times and everytime we give the help the rest of the world sees us as warmongerers.
The rest of the world needs to step up to the plate and give the assistance we are constantly being begged for by others.
Once the world starts to give the assistance, they too will be called War Lovers in time. Since this is not what the complainers want, they stay in the background, ignore the truth and put their spin on things. So sad.
We need to start refusing to help and take care of our own right here in our own backyard.
Once we, start this, then the pressure will be placed upon the ones that step up to the plate in our stead. Then they will find out what it is all about.
To whom much is given, much is expected. Every country that has been on top has had its supporters AND its detractors, this is the way of history. Everyone is not going to love you, that is how human nature is. But once you respect and treat others as you would expect to be treated, then that is all that is required.

Agreed with you on this Taino, But right now, we do not have the resources we had in the past. So now others that do, need to step up to the plate and take their turn helping and endure the flack for doing so.
As for the last sentence, You are 100% correct. I believe the majority of my fellow Americans do this. I know I do. How wever, We seem to have the unfortunate ability to pick leaders that do not share this view.

My parents are from Ireland but I am an American citizen. I have traveled a great deal and I can say this...Americans in general are fat and completely ignorant. I was in Australia and the only fat people I saw were American tourists. I have seen Americans try and use US Dollars in nearly ever foriegn country Ihave been too. Many of the least educated Irish farmers I know are far more informed than even "educated" Americans. Dont get me wrong I love America, but being fat and ignorant is one bad thing about it.

morgan5: Just an observation but does seem as tho any thread like this is always about the American's, have to say if i was American it would really piss me off. jmo
Thanks for understanding, Morgan. The sooner US devalues the EU the better the relationship will be.:-)
Grandepensees: The amount of ignorance in this thread is staggering!
I wonder how long it's going to amaze me... I have lost most of my faith in people but this thread leaves me open-mouthed.
I agree, this whole thread was not even worth it, whats the point of steriotyping other countries, saying "he knows how americans think". when he should know it was gonna start an uproar...
ukrainegary48: the American way. is to think there better then every other country.

kev147: When people in europe think of americans it can be one or the other, the americans i have met through my life have been very friendly but uneducated on history outside of America, this is due to their educational system, as far as war hungry go's i think that go's without saying, and i dont agree with most americans owning guns either

ukrainegary48: lets see i have never said i was not a us citizen. because i am. i still vote in your elections. so your point is what.
My point was and is, that if you are so skeptical about US policies and generally dislike ANYTHING American, why would you waste your finger power posting the fact that you are??
