MisterMatlock Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Do you find it personally disturbing in some way? I mean, I've watched Terrance and Phillip from South Park slag off Canadians... I've watched Family Guy slag off Canadians... I've had people at work make fun of the way we talk... I've listened to people say that Canada is "the US' hat"... For some reason, I can laugh about it... And people laugh at the thais for having BS pumped into their skulls from a young age about nationalism... f*ck me... Oh... you're Canadian... eh? And you bastard Brits say "eh" FAR more often than I ever have in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English_Bob Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 It really gets old. And I'm not one to just politely let assholes be assholes. Even though, I should use such opportunities to practice the teachings of the Buddha and subdue negative actions. Shows how far away I am from reaching that goal. lol I'll have to apologize in advance because I probably will never be able to let people just talk trash about my country. Especially when they have been and are just as guilty. OH YOU'RE AMERICAN HUH???!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming you get offended if a girl says "All guys are pigs." Nope But you're a guy... Wouldn't that be directed at you? To me. Not the same. I'd rather not get into this here. It will invariably piss someone off. A gal saying that guys are pigs is not the same as a Euro and the hypocrisy that he spews. Why not just leave that garbage out of it. If it's supposed to be lighthearted banter. Let it be lighthearted banter. I don't think that all Brits are soccer hooligans. I don't think that all Scandinavians are weed smoking homosexuals who allow Muslims to intimidate them and murder artists on their streets with impunity. I don't think that all Germans are Resurgent Nazi scum. I don't think that all French carry white flags with them just in case they need to have an emergency Vichy party meeting and whisk some Jews off to Auschwitz. I don't think that all Arabs are suicide vest wearing, 72 virgin seeking, wife beating, 16 year old raping animals. I don't think that all Africans are bush beating, grass skirt wearing illiterate tribesmen. I don't think that all Irish are simple minded drunks. I don't think that all Aussies are drunken, bar brawling skirt grabbing, foot long knife wielding idiots. I don't think that all Thai people are tuk tuk drivers, touts and bar girls looking for a farang husband. I don't think that all Indians and Pakistanis are cab drivers, seers, sukhumvit tailors. I certainly wouldn't go around posting such erroneous stereotypes on forums frequented by folks from these Nations and groups. Why do so many Euros feel compelled to do this when it comes to America. And why do you and they feel so justified and defend it so vehemently. It's the same ugly behavior that you decry. Yet, you don't see the hypocrisy in this. Flabbergasted is a word that comes to mind. (yeah I know beej. Stop crying. I've got a word for you too. Just can't say it here without the old yellow card hell.) I'm just not sure why you came on here and started screaming when nobody was really even talking about Yanks... It's unfortunate that someone earlier offended your "delicate sense of nationalism". Rather than looking like a "yeehaw, grab my gun, cowboy", you could just simply laugh it off and think of yourself as ABOVE the stereotype... But, I guess, that's not really one of your strong points... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeusbheld Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Euros who are so obsessed with the US that they never stop bitching about it. (sigh) Here we go again..... Yanks who are so obsessed about Euros who are obsessed with the US that they never stop posting about it... It's thrown in my face on almost every thread. You'd think some of them could give it a rest. I've not started a single thread about America here. It's always a Euro bitching and moaning. This was actually an enjoyable thread to read until the obsession about America reared it's ugly head. now that's something that is pretty annoying. citizens of the most powerful country in the world who have a persecution complex. the US is a) currently the most powerful country in the world and has had a nasty habit these last eight years of being completely, arrogantly unilateral in making decisions that impact the entire world. so come down off the cross, we can use the wood. and yeah i'm American.

R.Win Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Foreign actors in Thai movies piss me off as well... just a few examples; the reporter in "Beautiful boxer" the guys in the barfighting scenes in Ong Bak (especially the australian with the long hair) These guys really know how to turn a otherwise quite good professional movie into a home made school project, where do they get these guys? Do they get paid at all? What the ****! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
