I really wouldn't want to be an american tourist. I mean where can you go and not be hated? Or even in great danger. I wouldn't want to be Canadian as well. You're too easily mistaken for an American

Very nice.  How are Americans supposed to broaden our world view and stop being so nationalistic if we are forced to stay home in our isolationist little world because people like you want to convince us we are all under threat of our lives every time we leave the country?  

My daughter is going to be traveling to Europe in the next few weeks.  Are you saying I should fear for her life?!!  Maybe I should keep her locked in her room so ignorant, bigoted sh1tbags don't kill her? Really??!!!  

(And yeah, I know you were joking - sort  of - but the funny to mean ratio was way off.  Total fail.)

When you (american leaders or better said lobbies behind them) won't have imperialistic tendencies any more, when you'll stop putting oil in front of everything (that's why u're currently fighting 2 wars), when you'll stop killing millions of innocent civilians (Vietnam the worst, Iraq with over half a million etc) and call off your economic hitmen, well then you'll become safe sooner or later;). It's not like America hasn't brought it on their people. I would like very much this wasn't happening, since we'd all be living in a much better world. But it is what it is and that's the reality, even if you don't want to hear it. I suggest she starts learning english accent .

She has no more chance of anything happening to her than anyone travelling anywhere relatively safe.
Is she coming to the Best Little Country in the World?

good apples and bad apples, no problem wit hit, what i really can't stand is their absurd in-your-face nationalism, jesus i haven't seen such things even when traveling in communist and socialist countries, my impression is their nationalism is fostered a lot by the government itself as it's the only real value after money that keep them all united under the same flag.

There are a lot of Americans who embarrassed by that, actually, present company included.

mah ! it's so blatant it looks like the whole country belongs to the "cult of america", a giant matrix where
everyone think to be living in the best possible world and bla bla bla .. freedom democracy .. bla bla bla ... bomb this and bomb that ... yadda yadda ...

in europe we've seen all this since 3000 yrs already, it's really no big deal, each of our city testify our history and we're
daily reminded that power never lasts long in the same hands, every empire rise and fall and america will follow soon
but it will be the american people to pay the highest price for their corrupt elite.

talking about yanks and politics, well often i had great discussions with them but sometimes woah i had to stop and go away
some guys are really rednecks and plain crazy, it's scary to know they probably own many guns at home ...

what can you tell to somebody who's been teached since early age that america is nr.1, that america is the best, that america
is Rome reincarnated and a s-hitload of other bulls-hits they heard on Fox news or cnn... sort of talking with spoiled kids and
don't let me start at yanks dealing with maps and geography hmmm ...

Unfortunately, nearly every election we have is split straight down the middle 50/50.  So for every messed up imperialistic policy that is implemented, pretty much half of us don't support it.  Oftentimes more than half of us are opposed.  But we all seem to be tarred with the same brush.  Nothing I can do to change your mind.  Just have to hope that most of the people my daughter meets in her travels are more open minded than you.  

Eh, you're not getting it. I'm just stating the reasons why americans are not welcome in most of the countries around the world. It has nothing to do with me. As I said in the previous post, which you didn't comment on, as far as I'm concerned (and practically everybody in my country) you're all welcome here as tourists. What I wouldn't welcome is you forcing your values on us (like you do on many other countries). Since we wouldn't want our society (which has many problems) to be ruined even more. For instance, we wouldn't want to work even harder, start consuming the kind of food that you do (if you can call most of that food), become insanely politically correct and oversensitive. An acquaintance of mine just returned from the states and said he'd never live there. You work your a$$ off all day, you're in debt your whole life, you can't afford to eat quality food, so you get fat and get illnesses related to obesity (diabetes etc), health care is totally privatised so you spend your last dollars for doctors when you become older (or just middle aged with 150 kg).

because if you think those views and behaviors apply to me or my family, or my friends, then you obviously don't know what you are talking about.    

I have never, ever said such a thing, nor I implied it. Something like that could be only done by a primitive, full of hate lowlife, blaming ppl blindly.

We did deviate from the topic, but all in all, with all the posts regarding humour, Top gear, stand up comedians, it is fun (at least I'm having fun), I did laugh on the occasion and think it's positive overall;)

I'm hoping that this thread will win the 2011 microstockgroup award for most off topic posts

LOL! I got the feeling that anti-American feelings have subsided in recent years and I haven't met an American on my travels who calls himself Canadian in such a long time, it felt like everyone was doing that at one time. I don't know if that had something to do with that nice "bring em on" fellow being at the helm. The best thing about America, is that there are at most only two terms, phew! I wish more countries would have that.

americans abroad are funny and sometimes interesting, i would not generalize, the problem for me is when talking about politics with them, it's not an issue of leftists vs republicans, but the fact most of the yanks fully support unconditionally the neo colonialist wars america is waging in north africa and middle east, not to mention the bombing of serbia in 1999, the awful creation of Kosovo, Taiwan, and all the  "color revolutions" in eastern europe.

and being answered that this is ok because they're "mickey mouse" countries can only make my blood boil.

the world would be a much better place WITHOUT america's "humanitarian interventions" (hahaha!), and as a matter of fact the smartest people i've met so far are the russians, hope one day they take over all of europe and liberate us for real from being a NATO colony.

BS!  simply BS!!  your way of living, existing, even breathing the very air, would be the first to be abolished!  if it wasnt for the Americans and British, saving your ass and parents asses during two wars, you would still be itching in your daddys pants,
steady on pal!  you sound like a Saddam or Bin-Laden supporter. Sounds as if youre in the wrong profession.

Pitty the Russiand who actually live there dont agree with you, then again its easier for a sofa-expert to have an opinion, isnt it.

ohh gimme a break, please.

saving me from what ? america, UK, and russia were allied during WWII ... wake up ....

Thought so, exactly the kind of answer we all expected.
