I have ALWAYS stood by the position that America is the best. We are the greatest super power in world history.

I have never once attempted to make the argument that America is not great.

yep, it makes just as little sense over here.

Consider that your mindless anti-patriotism is the equivalent of any sort of mindless patriotism you profess to be averse to.

"I hate such and such, so Im going to automatically be the exact opposite!" is a retarded, plebian, unnuanced way of thinking and it's pretty much what created the American left wing.

Your persistent, superficial liberal talking points act is truly some embarrassing shit.

i thought you learned your lesson the last time you tried to put words in my mouth. have you already forgotten the whole "you don't know shit, starfish" lecture? no...? need me to look it up?

to be fair, you're probably trying to describe someone, somewhere. it's just that you retain a rather breathtaking gift for misinterpreting me.

what can i say? you definitely belong on ISH. :cheers:

It's a redeeming quality for Americans and a quality that many foreigners find attractive. I used to be "ashamed" like you but I've grown to enjoy being American and proud of it. That's what makes americans americans and different than other nationalities. Embrace it.

i'm not sure how many foreigners find american chest-thumping to be very attractive. i think maybe you're getting that confused with the general envy for all things american.

to clarify, i'm not ashamed of the USA in a general sense. it has its pros and cons just like all other places. what i'm ashamed of is the highly-redneck behavior of saying "this is the greatest country in the world!" yeah, that's just as true for dozens of countries around the world, and there's a laundry list of reasons why that is a valid belief.

to me the statement just reinforces ego and promotes ignorance, especially towards the rest of the world. especially because now we live in a global civilisation, and in order to get along and cooperate more smoothly, it helps to understand our similarities and differences, customs and beliefs. to me the chest-thumping is childish and completely unnecessary. it's also self-harmful in many ways, as i just touched on.

I think you'd be surprised.

I hope we never lose that quality to be quite honest. Makes us stand out from the rest of the world and ridiculing rednecks makes you look just as snobby as the attitude you're supposedly trying to criticize. You are no better of a person.

While I agree with getting to know different beliefs etc., you can still do that while being proud of being American and screaming, "greatest country in the world."

i've been around the world my fair share of times and have never heard any admiration for nonsense like that. maybe you spend too much time hanging around masochists and sycophants.

calling a spade a spade is not snobbery. if you're going to behave like a redneck, then why be sensitive about being called one?

but okay, sure. here goes: "THE USA IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!" :rockon: .........at consuming more resources and creating more waste and pollution per person than ANY OTHER COUNTRY, directly promoting an impending global clusterf-ck in which civilisation as a whole is rapidly becoming unsustainable. and if that's not bad enough, most of the world indeed wants the toys, trinkets and lifestyles that the USA has, which only accelerates the same motherf-cking problem.

yeah, "the USA is the greatest country in the world." :lol ...that's exactly what should be engraved on all of our tombstones, except nobody's going to be around to do the burying.

"make america great again" implies america isnt great.

You can be in decline and still be the best. See: James, Lebron

Whatever you say dude. You're not the only person that's been all over the world. I haven't even set foot in the states in the past 26 months.

You're just being a douche. No need to be sensitive about it I guess.

I agree with your third paragraph though about living a life of excess. USA society does make me cringe a lot from time to time but USA was one of the first countries in the world (maybe the first) where you could actually make a fortune via trade and hard work and not conquest/inheritance.

and lebron james is still a "great" player. so which one is it, is trumps slogan unpatriotic by saying america isnt great, or is he right? just trying to understand trumptard cynicism.

He's the best.. but he was better at one point.

Trump wants to take us back to 2011-13 Lebron.

Not sure what part of that is confusing to you.

He gets confused easily. He's been following me in every thread ever since I put down the smack down on him when he, like many liberals, think that illegal immigrants are only Mexicans or only come from Mexico. He tried to pass it off as an example but it was equivalent to Kelly Osborne's "Who is going to wash your toilets?"

Since then he is shook and confused.

He even switched his avatar.

The time is now....we are witnessing a lot of meltdowns this year.

whatever yourself, brokowski. i'm not from the USA.

re: bolded,
actually that was true of various civilisations millennia ago and has been true many times since. but yes i take your point. which is still irrelevant, since i'm not saying the USA doesn't have its share of greatness. of course it does.

what i'm saying is that the chest-thumping narcissism is embarrassing and only hurts the USA in the long run. so yes, your behavior is embarrassing. you're part of the problem and it's bringing down all of us.

but the majority of Americans don't give a **** what the rest of the world thinks of us. When I plop down on my couch in my screened in porch to look at my big back yard, crack open a beer, and light one up, I'm not thinking 'damn, I wonder what Ethiopians think of this'.

Yeah, it really doesn't and nobody is really that insufferable in real life. Each country has their fair share of embarrassing ****tards. I'll take an american's arrogance over a mainland chinese's lack of complete social awareness any day.

nathanjizzle doesn't know what the **** he's talking about. The only countries who see the US as more unfavorable than favorable are Russia, Pakistan, and Jordan.

Because YOU don't see the US as positive doesn't mean you speak for the rest of the world. In fact, YOUR view of the US is, more or less, the complete opposite of how everyone else sees us.

which is exactly the kind of problem i'm talking about. because people who are spoiled don't tend to worry about what other people think about them. why should they? as long as they get their fix and their luxuries, everything's a-okay. :cheers:

and, history has proven over and over that most people would rather go extinct than fundamentally change.

none of this is particularly surprising to me. it's one of the oldest stories in the history of life.

thank you; interesting list. china and russia are no surprise because of their massive anti-USA propaganda campaigns. pakistan's been caught in the war on terra, the middle east is anti-israel, and venezuela was headed by chavez.

i'm not sure what the story is with germany, malaysia and argentina.

anybody have insight in to why they're so anti-american?

[Dresta]

Patriotism is an essential component of any healthy civilisation. Sneering at patriotism, on the other hand, is invariably a sign of decadence. If people don't believe in their countries, or consider them a force for good in the world, and so on, then they are lost, and seek to hide this fact through political agitation and by sneeringly conflating patriotism with xenophobia, as if there was no difference between loving your country (its history, traditions, and institutions), and hating foreigners. There is a big difference, but it is ignored, generally by people who lack even a vestige of the patriotic spirit, and have not once thought what their duties to their country and forbears are, despite their labours and trials being the primary reason why they live lives of such luxury and ease. Gratitude is what is lacking, which has instead been replaced by entitlement. Few admit that yes, the US is far from perfect (as is any nation, or any person), but it's also the main reason why I wasn't born into the howling wilderness of the world, lost and alone, without a home or a country.

Human beings need to belong.

Germany:


http://www.dw.com/en/germanys-low-opinion-of-the-usa/a-18539628

Karsten Voigt: The slide toward a negative opinion began with former President George W. Bush's wars in the Middle East. Many people believe that the Americans contributed to the instability of many countries in the region, and that the war in Iraq and the conflict in Syria have only exacerbated the problem. The military intervention in Libya, though originally a European idea, is often blamed on the Americans as well. To that, add Edward Snowden's revelations, and the whole of the NSA affair.

Bush's wars lol

Argentina:

thanks UK2K. too bad the rep system is broken again.


re: germany,
that makes a lot of sense. the invasion of iraq truly has created some huge issues for germany and the EU.

re: argentina,
i had completely forgot about the falklands. that's no doubt a big reason why argentinians hate the UK, and to some extent the USA. it also kind of suggests how crazy people can be, since going to war with the UK / USA was obviously never going to work.

re: malaysia,
ah, i was thinking it was something like that, but wasn't sure.
