I guess different people have different idea of what Americans look like. Looking at the soldiers at the mall I can't figure it out. But I don't watch too much TV. Execpt sports so I thought they were all black!


Well yes apart from the Native Americans who've had nothing but a rough deal. Once again it's all Britain's fault for being so good at travelling by sea. But clearly the people that went to the US became stupid and inferior to their British counterparts :wink:

That's what makes our nation great.
I like the fact that we invite lots of foreigners with talents into our country. For example, if you're a Russian athelete and we like your skills, we'll offer you a permanent US visa, give you good income, make you American and have you compete for us in the olympics.

Same with Indian doctors, Canadian wrestlers, etc etc

This is how we're superior to all nations in every aspect. Sports, medicene, education (US universities) etc..

so what you're saying is that you rely on the skills, intelligence, and ability of others to build your 'great' nation....



not the skills of your own people...

There is no "your own people" in America. Majority of Americans aren't true Americans. We're foreigners, in a way. We're from all over the world - UK, Ireland, Germany, Russia, Israel, India, China, Australia etc
This is what makes our nation great. People come here, use their skills and make this country even more powerful.

This is why we're a superpower. Different people, different talents, different skills, contributing to this nation's economy in tons of different ways.

The American computer with a Hard Drive made in Japan, Motherboard made in Japan or Germany, Case made in China. Sounds like a true American computer to me! And I know that the PC was invented in America but in a modern computer, olny a small fraction of the parts are actually American made.

I got an impression that on another side of the screen a fat ugly man is sitting eating his ExtraSuperDoubleLarge Hamburger and praise America.

Man, what are you trying to prove? That Americans is a superior nation? Let other nations to judge.

I do not have anything against American people. In my life I met very intelligent and educated people – these ones who are an exception of a dim group of slow-witted average Americans.

Everything has its own end. The ‘superiority’ of America as well. And it is not far.

So how can Americans be superior to others when there is no such thing as a true American....unless you count the Natives which...the 'Americans' so successfully made sure that they would amount to nothing in that country.

I find it hilarious how you seem to think that America will rule all...have you no understanding of history? Just like all the other civilizations before it....the American government will fall.

If you really pay attention to what is going on in the world then you would know that this is already happening.

The average age for an empire, superpower, or major power is about 300 to 400 tears. Every major power in history has fallen. Look at the Romans, Greeks, Mongouls, Ottomans, French, British, every single one. As much as I hate to say it, America will probably fall one day. If you look at history, America is in almost the same situation as the ancient Roman Republic was before it collapsed and turned into an empire.

I can't believe this tripe is still going on. It's like hearing a bunch of kids, "my dad can take your dad!" Then the other one, "No way, my dad is totally tougher than your dad." In the end no one concedes. I already gave my 2 cents way back on page 1 or 2...days ago. This guy is a dink. Don't respond to his crap and he'll go away.

But that's not why I replied. I replied to say that the Lumina is an American car. It's a Chevrolet Lumina. And to be honest, I'm pretty sure they haven't made that sucker over in North America in a few years.

I think we all need to calm ourselves down.

No one has answered my question yet.

By the way, if there's so much anti-americanism in Dubai, why do they accept our dollar? Why is the US dollar listed on tags? Why isn't the British pounds accepted more than the US dollar? Don't tell me this is not true. I've been to Dubai and almost everywhere our currency is accepted. I didn't need to change my currency at the airport.
The UK pounds is probably accepted at select places. Anyway, why follow our culture? Why watch our movies? Why listen to our songs? Why use our technology? Why are there American businesses in Dubai? Why are there American-style restaurants in Dubai? Why are there American bars in Dubai? Are you guys looking forward to the new iPhone? Forget about it. It's American.

I may come across as an arrogant American, but what you people said about my nation was totally uncalled for.

I never insulted your guys' city, country, or people. I think you guys should be reciprocating the same way.
