To all the EuroTrashes bashing America on Getbig (oh brother)

[ThaRealist]

So, basically you're saying that this National Geographics survey is incorrect. Well, a few quotes of the actual survey report:

"In total, 510 interviews were conducted with a representative sample of 18- to 24-year old adults in the continental of United States, using an in-home, in-person methodology."

"The margin of error for the total sample is +/- 4.4 percentage points at the 95% confidence level"

As i said, these comments of yours are pretty hilarious your nick being TheRealist.

"All differences noted between any subgroups (e.g., respondents of different education levels, genders, those who do vs. do not use the internet for news, those who do vs. do not travel internationally, etc) are also significant at the 95% confidence level."

I never said it was incorrect by any means....Any survey can be argued and I also said earlier that I don't doubt at all that the majority of 18-24 yr. olds in America have poor knowledge of world geography.....Just as you had stated though only 510 interviews were conducted...Now if I were to go out to a major metropolitan area and found 510 18-24 yr. old Americans to interview I would most likely come up with statistics proving that they can find the United States of America on a world map.....But who really knows when you interview only 510 18-24 yr. old Americans....I in fact could go to some of the white trash areas in the south and conduct interviews and barely any of them would know what the state was next to them much less where the U.S.A. is located at on a world map.....There are always variables to every set of statistics......(I also love the way you are trying to beat up on my handle LoL )

Europeans are basically Americans without balls...

[GreatFinn]

There's only one way to build a great nation; promote and worship individuality but ensure that the "Group Synergy" is greater than its single individuals. We have idols and read Enquire and People mags all day but we also won't hesitate one second to forget ourselves and sacrifice for freedom, it's fucking cheesy but I feel it and live it every day.  What does this shit has to do with bodybuilding?

Ask this: why do all terrestrial bodybuilders, fitness models come to America to make a living? because WE have an economy built around individuality and a media system to ensure its distribution and survival. While Europe is tight up with it's "let's make it all about socialism and make a mother lode State system" they forget that "individual" gratification is marketable and part of the Economy.

I just find it hypocritical that every chance they get they bash us Americans, but every opportunity they get they sell their cock pumps and flesh lights to get over here and be part of it. 


Brutal 172 words Euro Meltdown.  Fuck you all.

Yet another prove that you are just a child. You guys should remember, that if you aren't from black, Asian, Eskimo, Latino, native american indian, etc. -family, you are descendant of that euro trash which you hate so much. First white man who step in that silly country of yours, was viking from Norway...Columbus was Italian...and so on. USA has always been a place where european and other countries dump all of their left over shit. And by the way: When Finnish engineer move in the USA, average IQ will rise in both countries

Can you have a decent conversation without making biased and uninformed comments about America?

At least i'm trying to. So far i haven't made any personal comments about anyone under this topic. And was the survey that i showed here uninformed?

[Fury]

Elitist attitude? I did'nt say that we're superior to americans, i simply answered to the question what have we contributed. My point with my comments is not to say that europeans are superior to americans. As I just said, my point is to answer to all "euro-trash" and other talk, constantly bashing europeans and finns.

No, you're taking a cheap shot at America while patting yourself on the back like you're better than us. Y

As you said, with the bad comes the good. Certainly we dont have such contributions as killing thousands of innocent people as your country does.Then again we have managed ourselves very well. For example, we have free dental and health system for everyone. And if you think that your country is the only one helping and donating other countries under crisis, think again. We also give our part of donations and help. Of course the donations are smaller, but in relation to the size of our country, they're as valuable.

Contributions? You're being a wise ass and taking a cheap shot at us and playing it off like you're better than us. Are you going to deny it now? Looks pretty biased to me. Looks pretty elitist to me.  If you weren't taking a cheap shot at us, what were you doing with that comment, eh? What a crock of shit.

[jaejonna]

looks like a cheap shot to me

[Wout]

America is a free country because we won the War of Independence............ against Britain with great help from the French, which is sad considering we were huge underdogs. because we keep making fun of them nowadays

Yep, you guys sided with Poland and got your asses handed to you by the Germans........only to be bailed out by us! as part of the allied forces, which contained a lot more countries than just the usa. Which is why America is now the alpha-dog of the world in terms of military and economics.  although it owes huge debts to China

America has accomplished more in a little over 200 years than Britain has accomplished in CENTURIES!!  America started as a place for Britain's "undesirables" and managed to surpass jolly old England in everything!  I personally have nothing against Britain, but the fact that many of their people still hold this elitist attitude and actually think that they are some type of world superpower or empire is laughable.........and has been for some time.

Do i really have to say this again?

Yeah isn't great that the Finnish have such a great country to relocate to so they will have evenmore opportunities in industry....Thanx for supporting America!!!!

Geez, another biased comment made by the guy complaining about Americans taking cheap shots. What a fucking hypocrite.

[freespirit]

The USA owes a huuuuge debt to China. Don't forget that!

OK, since i'm trying to have a good conversation here, i'll admit that what i said was a bit out of line.

Then again, in my mind they have killed thousands of innocent people, during wars that are partially unjustified. But that's a whole another story and would probably lead to an endless conversation, and as i said, is only my opinion.
Beside, that "cheap shot" of mine was an answer to "bashing attempt" when i wask asked what contributions has our country ever done. And in my opinion i have been pretty friendly in my comments, unlike if you go and take a look at the comments about finland under the topic of marko savolainen.

What comes to an elitist attitude, i feel that with my comments i have more tried to say that we in our country are not worse than americans, and we are not "beneath americans" as BSB stated.

Every time someone has commented on Finland in this thread you've replied with a putdown towards America and a pat on the back for Finland. And you're complaining about us doing the same thing? You're a hypocrite. And I could care less as to whether or not you think it's a justified war. We'll fly some planes into a building in your country and see what you do, ok? 

[jaejonna]

You guys try running the world ...

You know why we dont have planes flying into our buildings? Because we get along with every country

And in your first sentence you put it all nicely: "Every time someone has commented on Finland in this thread you've replied with a putdown towards America and a pat on the back for Finland. "

So as you say there yourself, i have only been answering to comments bashing finland

[FinnPilot]

You guys try to run your own country first, seems like your leader isnt doing a very good job in that.

No, I said commented, not insulted. This whole thread you've done nothing but jerk Finland off while insulting America and complaining about some of the insults we've made. It's spelled hypocrite. 

[ThaRealist]

Finland - Population: 5,231,372 (July 2006 est.)
United States of America - Population: 298,444,215 (July 2006 est.)

Come back when Finland becomes a world power and has a population that is even a comparison to America....When you are trying to tear down a country and its leader.....

[jaejonna]

You guys try to run your own country first, seems like your leader isnt doing a very good job in that.

You act like every American gives a flying fuck, as long as Im doing my own thing, making $$$ and eating good I could care less if America slaughters the whole fucking planet. Its not like I was born thinking ...Where am I , am I in America ? ..dude we just woke up here. hahahaha

Exactly. These people care more about what we do with our lives and country than us Americans ourselves.

You know, the topic has an opening comment, which starts the conversation. So does this one too.

Now, if you look at the Alex23s opening comment, he tells non-american people to fuck off, he says that we all want to move to US etc etc.
So, in your opinion that comment isn't insulting us?

After you have thought about that Alex23s comment, and several other insults made about finland, try thinking this issue of my point of view.
How would you answer?

By the way, have you read the topic about marko savolainen? Who started insulting finland there? And why? Did some finn insult america first?

[jaejonna]

Dont forget who has the NUKES finny

[bmacsys]

Is it true the average American has a huuuuge credit card debt?   

It's not smart to spend more money then you actually have. Some day you have to pay.

Some day America has to pay. It's called: PayDay!   

Aren't you the guy who is trying to hide out in Belgium or something because you owe credit card debt elsewhere in Europe?

[ThaRealist]

Exactly. These people care more about what we do with our lives and country than us Americans ourselves. 

Exactly true...Also, they bitch us out for not paying enough attention to other countries...The world is obsessed with America no matter which way you turn it....I guess we should take pride in being so popular LoL seeing as how most of the world is envious and would like to move to our country for better opportunities....They tear us down, but would still love to move here isn't it great!!!!

Well, dont you think its a good thing that somebody is actually keeping an eye on what you're doing?
