I'm breaking it now, but I just liked how the thread said Illogical Things Americans Do (101) as if it was a university class also, #150: Frowning upon public nakedicidtyness |

look. it scares republicans. they control this country. you have to be smart about it here. |

im not going to read whole thread.. they like to interrogate citizens thinking they're terrorists. |
||||||||
|
|

Only the Muslim ones. |

i think it could be just anyone..if they find something suspicious on you. dunno where did this happen, but the newst precaution is they don't let and liquids onboard and it happened they hold one one lady with a baby because they thought she was a terrorist or something. she wanted to smuggle some of her breast milk in a bottle for the baby.. |

Stupid white woman wants to explicitly break the law then she'll get the rifle butt in the face and a strip-search. I suppose whites can blow shit up as well. I don't really know, they seem so perfect and all... |

Of course you didn't imply the color of the person's skin, but I figured it was a Caucasian. #7 - Prone to racism. |

maybe she secretly worshipped alah.. another illogical thing americans do; they're setting an example of what true democracy is to the rest of the world. god im glad i don't live in states.. |

my teacher is on the terrorist list. He was filming oil fields because that's what he does--he films stuff. I'm glad it happened to him though, he's a pretentious cock. Oh and he's not muslim, he's jewish, which is a race apparently |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

That would demonstrate how they aren't prone to racism. Quite illogical. |

brazil was talking about himself there i belive.. |

haha it's crazy..maybe north koreans picked that from them.."no photos please" |

So you think she was from the heh? Armenian maybe? |
||||||||

I don't see how he is being racist by assuming a person from the U.S. is white (most are!). Especially as he doesn't use any common stereotypes to make that distinction. |

The secret service just recently pulled a fourteen year old girl out from her class and interrogated her because she had written something bad about bush on line... |

In some respects it is, in some respects it isn't. That's why the notion of a "best country" is absurd. There isn't a country on earth (usual disclaimer, 'IMHO') that has: The lowest rate of crime; The lowest environmental impact; The happiest and most educated populace; The best quality of life; Offers the most aid to other, less fortunate countries; The most just legal system, etc. Of course there are countries that fulfill one or more of these criteria, but I don't see why that should prevent people from discussing the other aspects of the country which aren't as good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

hehe, when you use words like "lowest, least, most," etc, you can't logically claim that there is no such thing as whatever the lowest crime rate in existence would be, that would be it. This thread should be renamed: Nit-pick thread #1 |

Sorry, I don't understand this statment, "hehe, when you use words like "lowest, least, most," etc, you can't logically claim that there is no such thing as whatever the lowest crime rate in existence would be, that would be it." Please could you rephrase it? |
||||||||
|

|

What the fuck? That doesn't make any sense, you said white and then caucasian (I assumed you were equating them, but it doesn't actually make a difference). |
||||||||
|

|

Oh shit, haha. Sorry man : ) |

I don't know what this really means, but it bugs me that it seems like most Europeans like to bash on Americans on a regular basis. Like, I watch the show Top Gear because I like hearing about fast cars, but it seems like almost every episode they have to throw something in about, "Heh, stupid Americans" or "heh, fat Americans" or something of the like. You don't see any of that on American television. Maybe it's because we're not allowed, maybe it's because everyone else is more world-conscious, or maybe it's because they have nothing better to talk about, I don't know. But I know it pisses me off a lot of the time. Contrary to the stereotype, I could care less when someone insults the country I happen to live in- I'd like to believe that most people here realize this isn't the "greatest country in the world." But when someone starts insulting the people of the country I live in (which necessarily includes me) it gets on my nerves. I know some people here do stupid things, but when you start making generalizations about all Americans, it's kind of hard not to get annoyed, you know? |

The good thing about "threads like these" is you do get to have a little glimpse into some people's churning manias, that topics like "[spam] Fucking around with floops" or "New Proem" fail to rouse. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

well, for instance, "lowest." When you say "the country with the lowest murder rate," you're referring to the country with the lowest muder rate (Iceland) and then if you say "there is no such thing as the country with the lowest crime rate," you're kind of saying "there is no such thing as iceland," though it could be any country.. thing is, "lowest," "most," etc, are words that kind of fill themselves in. Content may be said to be historically arbitrary or in some cases it can even vary from person to person, but it's impossible to use those words without actually referring to something that exists, and if you're referring to something that exists and then asserting that it doesn't exist.. well.. you see? It's a sort of opposite, but similar thing to (a logics favourite) "The current king of france doesn't exist." |

See, when you say, "Contrary to the stereotype, I could care less when someone insults the country I happen to live in- I'd like to believe that most people here realize this isn't the "greatest country in the world."" We don't know whether it doesn't bother you at all, or whether it does bother you and you've just chosen a bad way of expressing it. j/k |

what about "freedom fries?" also, this time the "could care less" thing was a bit too ambiguous.. since it's been a topic in this thread you could be attempting to use it in its "logical" sense, saying that you actually do care, or you could be using it in the sense it is being criticised for being used in to say that you don't care about the critique or you could be using it ironically with regards to the discussion of it, in which case I'm not all together sure what you're saying.. and the rest of the paragraph is inconclusive. |

...I care because you do |
||||||||

|

| |||||||||
|

(As if) I could care less. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oooo! An actually really plausible explanation! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that one was supposed to be a followup to ceri. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, actually, I did think that as well, or rather "(Like) I could care less", as, like, we know, Americans like to say the word like before sentences. Like, hello, dhuurr, everyone knows that, right??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You missed 'duuuuude' off the end of the sentence too. Dude. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

He said I could care less. Not a good move. Maybe I could care less came from people hearing the phrase without analyzing it. If you say I couldn't care less fast enough it could sound that way and maybe people just went with it. |

LuminousAphid, I dl'ed a best of Top Gear. Im really shocked they say that shit. In what context? I haven't gotten around to viewing all the episodes. How did you hear about Top Gear? I just think in Europe its the source for a good cheap laugh without having to think really hard. Which is handy when you are nervous on a chat show. |

oh, and why are so many more words "bad" words in america than elsewhere and why are they so often bleeped? |

As the government promotes plans to better regulate internet gambling, former addict Vicky Clark tells how she went from never playing the lottery to losing £27,000 on a web gaming site in eight weeks. It is very easy to get into online gambling. Before you know it you are just getting dragged down. It is just one short click on the internet. The money can go so, so fast. I actually lost £27,000 in just over eight weeks. It makes you feel totally useless - greedy. So, it was lose, win, lose - deposit more money and it just escalated. I very, very easily got into online gambling. Before I knew it, I whistled for a cab and when it came near the License plate said "fresh" and it had a dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare But I thought "Nah forget it, yo home to bel-air!" I pulled up to a house about seven or eight and I yelled to the cabby "yo, home smell you later". Looked at my kingdom I was finally there to sit on my throne as the prince of bel-air. |

Jay Leno makes cheap jokes about the French on a regular basis, same deal. |

I don't know about the bad words. Prudes running the networks. There are cum swallowing whores here and 40 year old virgins. There are all sorts. |

there are so many silly americans that americans don't have to laugh at the rest of the world because they can laugh at other americans without exhausting the reply. we're all out of people to laugh at so we laugh at americans too. the chinese laugh at the mongols. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's very weird 'cause sometime they bleep words that are actually important to what is being said, like penis. "the mans p**** was severely damaged in the train accident." |

i laugh at the norwegians and the welsh |

There are plenty of silly americans. They all found youtube apparently. |

I don't laugh at you. Ever. Sadly. |

Americans are sensitive to the jibes because we have all had that French guy in college named Michelle steal our girlfriend with his sultry accent and flair with multicollored scarves. Even the children. |
