The Ugly Americans

[Equinox]

Uhm... they look for the benefit of those like Thrump and Hilton... There's lots of harm

Yeah..Hence my second line!

 

[Corinthian™]

Canada needs to remember who keeps their asses from being a 3rd world nation.

Out of all the countries in the world your lucky enough to be right next to us for protection.

uhm.... no they don't

 

[Flexo]

uhm.... no they don't

Shhh...

Let the man dream. Let him dream.

 

[deemar325]

No dreaming, you guys can't even keep Quebec in line.

 

[Corinthian™]

No dreaming, you guys can't even keep Quebec in line.

Why would they?

They don't force people to stay united

 

[deemar325]

I'll just say this, for all you who dislike America.


Stop coming over here to live, if we suck so much why is everybody chumping at the bit to live over here?

The reason: America is a great nation, it's the land of oppurtunity it has it's faults, but theres nothing you can't accomplish here if you put your mind too it and most of these second rate countries know it and hate us for it.

I feel that most of the people from the World don't hate the American people in general. It is the politicians they hate! Because, of their policy to the rest of the world. Due to this, American people are taken as stereotypes of American politicians most of the times

Take for example, My country India.. We've been suffering terrorism in Kashmir for the past 20 years.. Been asking America to use its political power and get Pakistan to stop supporting terrorist groups. But America never bothered.. After 9/11 happened, America wanted Pakistan to help out, because of its strategic positioning with Afghanistan. Immediately America decided to become friends with Pakistan.. So whenever India tried to use military might to fight terrorists, we were asked to show restrain and this and that! Why?

Because, every nation is bothered only about its own interests.. When help is needed, everyone likes to play suckup.. When help is not needed, Just forget everything and leave until help is needed again

What Im trying to get to is, American foreign policy towards a lot of the developing and third world countries is so hypocritical. Maybe that's one reason why every one hate the American govt.

As in star wars,

Fear leads to Anger, Anger leads to hate, Hate leads to suffering!

Couldn't be more true!

You've made some very good and interesting points, cous.

He made a good point, but America is pretty much the place everyone wants to live.

I've traveled quite a bit and there is no place like home.

 

[deemar325]

I've been to Italy and Sicily, beautiful places. Although Sicily didn't take to kindly to my kind.

Your kind? Americans?
I lived in Sicily for 3 years. I had no problem there. Except when the Iraq War first started. But generally I thought they were quite nice.

It is something like Hollywood for all Americans..

The place where dreams come true. I have nothing against Americans, This is my second home..But Im only saying that maybe its time for some soul searching and time for all of us to mend our ways of how we do things that directly or indirectly affect others.

I'm black and some of the locals had issue with that. I'm sure not all Sicilians aren't like that, but I had a couple comfrontations.

 

[Abaddon]

I've heard stories about rascism in Italy.

Your right man, your right it's just that everytime I turn around (I've been all over the world) it seems other countries got a problem with us. It's like damn did they want Hitler to win?

 

[deemar325]

Their not afraid to let you know they don't like you, I can kind of respect that over an white american who hides it with politics or religion.

 

[Equinox]

I've heard stories about rascism in Italy.

Racism is everywhere in the world dude.. Every person, deep down inside, has different feelings for other races.. A hard statement to make, But if you look deep down inside everyone of us, It is true!

 

[DBella]

I've heard stories about rascism in Italy.

It's true. But like Equinox said, you can find racism almost anywhere.

I'm black and some of the locals had issue with that. I'm sure not all Sicilians aren't like that, but I had a couple comfrontations.

I am so sorry to hear that. That sucks. I am not sure about Sicily because I've seen quite a few black people there but in nothern Italy... yeah, it's quite bad there. But I hope you don't think that all Italians are like that.

 

[deemar325]

I've heard things about soccer fans, especially the 'Soccer Hooligans'.

 

[deemar325]

It's true.

Not at all, the way I see it maybe the Sicilians got issues with the whole 'Moors/Hannibal' thing.

I don't know, I'm not gonna hold a grudge cause some knuckleheads called me unsavory names.

They called me 'Eggplant' what da hell?

Eggplant? Darn right! What the hell, indeed!

I've been told that Italian men likes black women.

Could be true, I know Robert DeNiro likes him some sistas.

Yeah,it's just easy to forget. Especially when talking about countries where those issues were seemingly long resolved before America.

 

[DBella]

Were you in Italy and Sicily on a vacation?

 

[deemar325]

Eggplant = Muolly or Muolan

That's what they call black folks, but it's all good I just let them meet my fist. Along with a group of my fellow army buddies.
