Let me describe the USA (the country I live in) from an unbiased viewpoint. Yes, many of us are ignorant, stupid,
lazy, and
racist. Yes, our
government and job market is shit. Much of the accusations are
true. However, as an American, I don'
t appreciate predominantly European
people generalizing everybody in my country. I am ashamed at many of the things my countrymen have done throughout
history, but it is also a country of equality, where anybody can make something of themself if they work hard enough. Home to some of the greatest musicians, inventors, and scientists of all time. And not to be an ignorant American, but we did help greatly in World War Two. Trying to "hog some glory"? More like winning essential battles, including Normandy (perhaps the most important battle of WWII) with the help of the
British and Canadians, of course. Even though Europe was in an enormous state of turmoil, and we helped the Allies greatly, they cannot show gratitude, they can only judge us even more. And let me be perhaps the first in a long while to say: France, thank you for your tremendous help during the Revolution, we wouldn't have won it without you. I write this with the utmost respect for European countries, please respect us a little more, and don't just recognize the bad things about the USA, but the good things as
well, as I do.
Englishman: The United States of
America is full of ignorant, fat assholes!
Americans: Our country is the best and the Europeans are pessimistic retards!
See? Every country is full of ignorant, moronic
people! Find the good in each country and their
people, and acknowledge the bad, but don't generalize and discriminate.
