I'd just like to say that Friends sucks. It's not nearly as popular here as it once was. And yes, many american youths are idiots, but we usually grow out of it.

I love the Brittas Empire among other wonderful British comedy shows.
It only started about a month ago here but The Kumars at No. 42 is such a great show! It's a chat show but with a twist, the set is built in the Kumars backyard!! The son is the host and his family ask questions to the guests! It's excellent and highly recommended. It's a spin-off from that other great comedy Goodness Gracious Me.
Oh yeah and I also love Time Gentlemen Please :)
I hate Friends, I have no idea why it is/was so popular. Though I LOVE Seinfeld and The Simpsons. When I first seen Seinfeld I thought it was total crap. I thought why was it praised so much when it was so unfunny. A few years ago I seen it again and got hooked :)

Hmmm, good points, but it's a huge thing to ask of a capitalistic country with no solid values. The more the media can get people to become vulgar and impulsive the easier it is to sell things to them. I'm not saying the media is to blame, it's just a cyclic process because we as Americans have no sense of identity.

If you ask me, this post is stupid and pointless. Your stereotypical opinions aren't needed to be expressed here. What this is coming down to is who's better? U.S. or Europe?
The reason why you find americans "idiots" is because you don't understand how our society is, I mean heck you didn't even understand Seinfeld, which is a very straightforward commedy, which always returns back to it's theme of "nothing."
I'm not flaming anyone or anything even remotely close, but I feel that these kind of posts should be meant somewhere else.

I doubt European youth are any less idiotic than American youth.
Regarding comedy, it's very much culturally dependant. If I happen to find some british comedy funny I'd still be missing a lot of the humor most likely. That's why action and violence based films travel better. Everybody loves to see a car go BOOM!

what happened to me? hmm... if us, "american youth" are so stupid... why then is it that when I went over to France & England... I saw every dumb-fuck European buy American made cigarettes and smoking their fucking lungs out? Don't you know that that stuff is bad?

You people watch too much TV. I only watch MAD TV, they make fun of all the bad actors and shows, plus do there own thing. I would agree that the alot of youth in the US are not creative and have some pretty lame interests: 4x4 trucks "wheeling", dragging the main strip picking up girls/guys, football, working to much making some one else really rich. etc. Europe seems more artistic and creative. At least my roomate & his pops are Russian(ukraine). When you walk in my house its like your not in the US anymore, communication is not always in english. He makes Sick intricate beats, and helps me technically, mastering and finalizing tracks.

I used to have that vision of Europe too, but I've met so many students here at the uni from various places in Europe and they are just different. I'm sure there are as many idiots in Europe as there are in America (percentage-wise), but people are idiotic in different ways from culture to culture. It's so disappointing when I ask people from Europe what music they're into, and they tell me U2 or some other pop from either Europe or the States. How could you play our shitty pop in your country (to those I'm speaking of)? We got the stupid truckin' kids and what not, but I'm sure englad or France has their own stupid shit consuming the youth.

Hey, I live in Texas, we have a very unique collection of idiots.
Rednecks and white trash.
Religious fanatics/hypocrits.
G-Dog gangsta wanna be's.
Uppity prissy mallrat, fratboys.
NASCAR fans (if I see #3 on one more car...)
we have a plethora of idiot cliques. we also have some really cool people.

The other day I was at a hardcore/metal show. There was this 350 pound bald guy (typical Slayer fan) with nazi tattoos all over his legs and arms. One of the bands had a black guitarist. He still danced (skull bashed), and then told the band how good they were.
I don't understand why he goes to so much trouble to hate. I'm too lazy to hate people. I just don't have the time or energy to dedicate myself to hating people for petty reasons.

quoth:
the russians were the main reason why germany was defeated in WW2. the russians and germans lost many soldiers in enormous battles on the russian borders. when the german forces were depleted from the battles in russia the US moved in from the west to claim victory and all the glory. US schools may not have taught you that part in history.
there is nothing to be proud of about dropping nukes too.

The youth in this country are apathetic little fuckers who only care about quick thrills and bugger the consequences. I believe they should bring back national service, or we should have another war to straighten these little bastards out.
