It is hard to take a country like America seriously when they....

What way would that be?

Your choice of outraged animal.

Nothing piscine, please.

 

If you are here to influence Americans you should use a substance other than vinegar. If you are here to spar, then this type of response is all you can expecct.

Do you know who Dale Carnegie was?

 

Heaven forbid I should want to influence Americans when I have leaves to sweep up.

It is autumn here. You call it fall, but then you would.

 

Good night Mr. Carnegie.

 

I see my efforts have been in vain.

Perhaps next time.

 

Who cares?

 

Thanks for the help in smashing the left to death.

 

I don't think the U.S. unemployment rate ever got over 10% ... perhaps for a month or two, but that was a while back if it ever happened.

In addition to being the worst terrorists, you are also the worst tourists apparently - according to surveys of such things.

Though Israelis must run you close. Really obnoxious and often working for Mossad.
A bunch of them escaped the Christchurch earthquake and the country before we could catch them.

 

No, it didn't. Even your own source says it reached a high of 10.0% in one quarter of 2009 ... which was two and a half years ago. Your post said that the rate has "only recently dropped from over 10%". It never got over 10% and I'm not sure that I'd consider two and a half years ago as "recently". Of course "recently" isn't really a precise term so you may think differently.

I'm certainly not going to argue against the notion that things got pretty bad. They got pretty bad almost everywhere and remain to be not so great in a lot of places. That said, I don't think that people should exaggerate or misrepresent the facts.

 

Problem is, americans never read/listen/absorb.

They are lost in their manifest destiny nonsense. Like watching a car crash with a drunk driver, no amount of helpful signals will stop it. But the spectators look on waiting for the flames.

 

Was Awryly banned for starting this thread? Or is "banned" the next level after "Guru"?

 

Seriously? Why should we listen to losers we had to save from the Japanese during WWII? They obviously haven't gotten any smarter.

 

And when those countries who are offended by America having an opinion on their politics similarly refuse U.S. aid, they may have more reason to resent our opinions. Until then simple truth exists that we are invested in their countries and they are not invested in ours.

 

I think he enjoys getting banned, honestly. That means people are paying attention to him.

 

What is this nonsense about 'usa aid'

The majority of americans on this forum are angry racist conservatives.
