...What are your stereotypes of Americans? I just get a bit curious after watching Hetalia.

For those who don't watch the show, America's portrayed as a food-obsessed man who always thinks that he's a hero.

Do you think they have? They're always messing around,you can wait anything from them,and they think our culture is stupid,and are always saying things like that.

Well, here kids are so self-centered about their own culture that they ignore other ones...-_-'

Hoped it were like this,they don't respect our or others cultures.And that's it,our country don't care about culture at all.

um yikes

For really,I can't understand any of the wars that happen in the world,people who begin and fight at them are fighting for such insignificant things,looks like little kids.So stupid.

I'm not trying to say you're wrong, but ehhh.

 

You obviously haven't met every republican. -- why is this even being discussed?

 

There was more than oil or greed for the reason why we went to war, though it is both a factor. People on both views of the war don't always have a complete understanding. I feel like they either think one side wants to keep killing for the sake of killing while the other wants to stop and pull out all at once when in reality, I don't think we can really do either. -- Why is this being discussed as well?

 

The Democrats are kind of in power right now, their approval rating is going in the bucket.

 

It's not really all about war anymore. = --- I really don't feel our country as a whole thinks that.

 

If you're made fun of doing charity work, most people where I live do charity work in order to graduate with higher honors. Charity work is kind of promoted here as a norm in my city. How are you even being made fun for doing that? It's silly. -- People who make fun of you sound like idiots and lack maturity.

 

Other places do make fun of us.

I don't and I never will understand why people fight each other,it's so stupid.

I don't and I never will understand why people fight each other,it's so stupid.

 

i agree

Yeah but I don't think any of us will ever truley understand the piont of war (if there is one though I don't think there is)

People just act like animals,why can't they just sit and talk?To solve the problems?

Yeah you'd think people would have relised that by now

We try to seperate ourselves from animals don't we? We are humans, not beasts. But we are beasts, we are animals as well. It is our nature, our emotion to fight. It is the darkness within us to commit this sin, this stupidity. We don't need oil, we have other resources but we choose to use what we have used for so many years now. But this has all been prophicized. We, because of oil and wastes, are bringing about the end of the world. The inside of the planet earth is built on a tetrahedral global shape:

 

Like this-

 

In hyper-dimensional physics it is belived that now we have disturbed that mass of force, that invisible nature. Where the points of this tetrahedral mass are on the tips of, there are such elevated islands like Hawaii for instance. The mass is also known as the "Torsion Field" in which case the points of the torsion field are concentrated points of it which are concentrated masses of energy. With the ability of the torsion field is was thought or possibly still is thought that you could travel through time. Though is a hypothesis. Changes in the hyper-dimensional masses can mean 2012 prophecies to come true. And we are doing this, America will fail the war because it had been prophecised. The Mark of the beast has been on someone already walking this earth. We only have two more years left of life before a change of the field takes place and pretty much all life on Earth is wiped away, like the planets before us-they also have an equal torsion field. And which case those fields have been thought to have been shifted or changed causing severe looks and weather and everything dead. Earth is next, but life may start anew. But it is certain that no one will survive this blow, this shift in the earth. And what started it all was greed...

Our planet won't be finished in 2012,cientists used to say in the past that the world would come to an end in 2000 or something like that,but,here we're.And it isn't the planet that will end anyways,the human race can but the world no.

Hmm for 2012 I always thought that the tech we created would come back to haunt us, I herd somewhere (can't remeber where) but it said that there will be a masive solar flare and that it will whipe out all technology forever and since humans have become to attached to technology and we relie on it so much that will we all die out.......that's what i think anyways....... how did we get on this topic????

As far as I know the earth's magnetic field protecs us from the solar flare,and there's a solar flare all the time,we just don't feel it.

The world will come to an end when the sun dies. It will expand and engulf the inner solar system. Though this won't happen for many thousands, maybe millions of years.

The solar flare theory says that there may/could/will be a flare big enough to destroy the magnetic field and scorch the crust. Well that is how it was described in the movie "Knowing"

 

The most likely 2012 theory i have heard is from the movie "2012" and even that seems likely.

 

This thread is really good. I've always been curious about other country's disposition to the U.S. And while not all of it is true, some parts are. Its kind of like (insert hated vegetable here), you don't like it neccessarily, but it's still good for you. (meaning Americans)

FROM an American, here's some genric feedback on some of the stereotypes.

 

They are all fat.

I'm pretty sure that America has the largest percent of obese people in it, but still, no one should paint everyone here with the same brush.

They are all ugly

I beg to differ. I've seen some pretty cute peope in my short time. Though I can't say I've had much reference for how hot other countries' people are. though if all I have to go on are some of the people on this site then i guess america is screwed, ha

Aaron's point about racism and contoversy

I am not racist. My community isn't either, we all treat it like a joke; we've got africans telling "black jokes" abd mexicans telling "mexican jokes" all the time. I haven't seen racism alot in my life. As for controversy, thats for people who have nothing better to discuss. If people are gonna take offense at what someone else does, GTFO of America. Its a free country, thats why people come here. Who cares if Tiger Woods slept with all those women? HE'S A GOLFER PEOPLE. Lets all grow up now.

Aaron's Point about Guns

Our bill of rights for our citizens gives us the right to bear arms. I have never seen anyone with a gun in their home, save for my grandpa's hunting rilfes, and I have never seen a gun fired, except for cross country, and those were blanks.

Laziness

Pnce again you can't classif everyone under the same term, I see about an equal amount of people who are lazy and those who aren't. Personally, I run miles daily in athletics, participate in Cross Country and Track, and I do not watch television. I know that sounds weird but I swear you guys I don't watch it cuz it's not interesting to me. I only occasionally watch an episode of 1000 ways to die or George Lopez when my sister begs me to. I haven't turned on a Tv for the purpose of watching it in years, and I am completely hopeless when my mom calls to ask me to record something for her, cuz I don't know how.

Stupid

I don't have much of any excuse for this. Even I am disgusted by how utterly stupid my classmates are. In America, you have a right to a good education, so people take it for granted. In poorer countries, the opportunity to get an education is a privilige; most kids I notice here think it's in the way.

Ignorant of other cultures

This is related to the above one; I think alot of people are not informed about other countries. The other day a kid walked in my class and told my teacher, "Hey, you know in Australia they have a cow farm as big as Texas?" Geez. Personally, I like knwing about life elsewhere, and I want to travel the world one day and learn about other cultures. =)

Politics, Government, E.t.c

America first formed their government after declaring independence from Great Britain. They called the king a tyrant and hated the monarchy. They were terrified to form a government that would hand one person too much power, and the first government they made, The Articles of Confederation, was actually too weak! The entire country flew into chaos. Finally, the Constitution was written, and I feel that it separates power nicely between branches of government. Unfortunately, that is not to say we have good people running it. There are people there that don't deserve their position and are corrupting some things. If you place a white rose into a vase that is filled with water colored with blue coloring, eventually the petals shall start to turn blue.

Obama

My opinion of Obama gets lower everyday. Though we can't judge his work until he does something, he won't be president, until he DOES something. He enticed the country with the one word everyone wanted to hear: change. And he was elected.

 

I tried not to bias my opinions on things, but there you have it from an American.

Its long isnt it, hahaha.

 

that is about what i think too, not including the slashed text.

 

this is the end of a huge post.

Its pretty much like America honestly, except no guns.

 

So..... Australia isn't like America at all.

 

 

HA, kidding.

 

I don't and I never will understand why people fight each other,it's so stupid.

 

i agree

 

If you don't know why people fight... Goodluck in the future, you'll need it.

 

People just act like animals,why can't they just sit and talk?To solve the problems?

 

Just talking about a problem won't make every one happy.

 

 

And WTF is with this 2012 stuff --;.

No I won't,I'm talking here about wars,not about personal life,everyone have their fights but not the way that countries do between them.

Yes it will,if they get to a common sense,think of something that can solve the problem,they can act,make it happen,without hurting anyone.But that's the way I think,you can keep your mind,but there's not a very good possibility for me to change my mind.

 

And WTF is with this 2012 stuff --;.

 

Well,as far as I know poeple are based in religion,myths and stuff like that.But I have to say that I don't believe very much,and I wouldn't like to die with 15 years old.

I don't know, i was just adding to an already started discussion about it...

 

I don't want to die when i am 15 either, though i think the Apocalypse it said to be like the 21st of December, so i would be 16 i think. And just to add, i dont believe it either.

 

Oh and another thing, in all technicality, humans are just an more advance species of animals.

And stop talking about the 2012, it'll lead to off topic discussion.

But if your decent and relate it to americans, Lol, go ahead.

Yeah but see, some people are too stubborn to realise a solution of the problem, hence why wars are created, shit like that.

People want power, think of Hitler.

And I wasn't talking about personal life, but sure, thanks for adding a point to my opinion ;3. People won't always agree onto the same things.

But they involve innocent people,that's the bad thing,the countries don't fight because of it's people,they fight because of the leaders,if the fight could just stay between them everything is alright,but they have to put us,normal people, in the middle,people won't think the same,you're right,but they could see what was better to do,not fight,when they fight no one wins,because it's very bad for the economic situation of the country,for the citizens and for how they're seen in the outside.There's nothing good about it,they can win in what they want but they loose more them they win.

But without "normal people", you don't have power.

I'm not saying that I agree with fighting though.

I'm just saying that, we aren't involved in their lives, politics and things like that, they seem to be different from us. At least most of people treat them that way.
