got to rant

[hogbear]

just read the following on a British forum used by a lot of Americans

"Like many Americans, I have never been out side the U.S. except for trips to Canada and the occasional Mexican Resort.

The Canadians are unfailingly polite and non-confrontational, and the Mexican Resorts limit contact with locals.

When I was a kid they used to say: "Never leave

Hi! I love my country but not my government. I love to travel having been to Kenya and Peru so far. I travel to broaden my mind and spirit mostly.
Sane? I choose not to accept others views of reality. Does that make me sane or not?

[hogbear]

Don't know if it makes you sane but it sure makes you rare!

[grimmbear]

LOL! Thanks for the compliment!

[brumwolf]

No it makes you human, just like the majority of the world, welcome, from this point on, the guilt of the idiots fron the US are not to be associated with you.

Please tell me where this fuckwhit is posting, I could doing with something to play with. The idea that the Gardian is a communist rag is a wonderful illustration of just how Americans have:

a) no idea what a communist is

b) the concept that there is a difference between a maxist and a communist, if you need to know how that relates to the Guardian, well, I refer you to the Micheal Foot v Paul Foot argument ;)

c) how fuckin stupid some Americans are.

Lets look at a few things which the good olde USA has better then the rest of us in the westurn world.

Gun crime, yep you beat us on that one. Pollution, ok you win. Dumb ass presidents who a limited grip of reality, ok quick roll call, Bush jnr, Reagan... what me to carry on?

If the USA was so great, why does the rest of the world look at as if looking as the families slightly strange, rather slow and completly self absorbed cousin who everyone tries to avoid because

a) they smell
b) are mentaly unstable
c) worse then the French ;)

Hog, let me know where this thread is, please

Its on one of the sites which express an interest of mine you would not want to walk down, but I appricate the idea.

just having a bad trip on americans right now! I know there have got to be some nice ones out there but they don't seem to use any of the same forums as me.

[brumwolf]

Oh just tell me where it is :)

In our limited travels, we have come across only two kinds of American. Those who think that Bush is great and of course, we all love Tony Blair because we love our country, just like they love Bush because they love America.

The other sort start apologising for the Bush Administration within a few seconds of meeting them.

[hogbear]

I think it goes deeper than just the Bush issue, although its tempting when someone starts apologising for Bush to say "well this time VOTE and make sure you do it right!"

I wish more than one American had replied to this but I am not good on LJ at broadcasting

[brumwolf]

It goes alot deeper.

There are another two types, the ones who have given the family brain cell to the cat. Ussualy seen around Warwick comming out with such pearls of stupidity as 'isn't it shame they built the castle so near the motorway' or 'did they really have children back then (14th century)' Those are real statements and real questions I was asked by American tourists. The phrase stupid does not sum them up to a level which the rest of the world could cope with.

The other ones are ussualy standing near them and muttering things like 'stupid fuckwhit' or comming over after they have gone and saying 'not all of us are that thick' and appologising for their fellow country folk.

I'm really toying with pertitioning the UN to have a 'Gene Police' force set up to deal with acts of stupidity in the face of common sence. They would be charged with going around the world and when they come across an moron they shout 'Gene Police, get out of the pool' then shoot them.

That would deal with the Bush clan ;)

[hogbear]

oh and if we have another "we're sorry" website if they let Bush's lot back in I am not going to be held responcible for the sarcasm that comes from me.

It is true that most American TOURISTS are not stupid but the stupidest ones will always be the loudest
