It makes you wonder about some people I tell you. Sure it was just a scam to turn around and take over Afghanistan and Iraq..

You can blame scumbags like Robert Scheer of the LA times and other haters for spreading these kind of things over the world. As ridiculous as it sounds, I'll bet this attitude is prevalent in other countries besides Germany. I am done caring about what other countries think about us. These same people will probably tell you the holocaust never happen. Look at it this way, Europe is very liberal. Liberals (from here or abroad) ALWAYS root against the USA. Always hope our country will fail. Always think we are about power, and conquest, and money , and oil.

Fuck them all.

aren't we all?. i would love to live in a country that does everythign possible to strenghten their economy and look out for their Citizen's.

You want to know WHY "Some" Europeans think that way about Americans?.

You pocess the highest level of patriotism in the world, I have never seen a people like Americans who love the flag and their country as you do. THAT IS NOT A BAD THING!!!!. I admire your patriotism so very much.

The only "bad" thing I can say about Americans, is that you love to compare everything with the US. I have met so many serivcemen stationed in Germany who constantly had to "compare" and not experience when traveling.

If you were to stereotype the German you will find they are not very trusting people, and are not very fond of their country, always thinking their politicians are crooks. They always question everything and love to argue about the smallest little thing, never gets excited about anything but always think there is a hidden agenda. the "whats in it for me" principle is VERY evident.

I lived in Germany for 3 years, My native country Denmark is over run by German tourists which is where I get this form.

I can't see how that is a bad thing. Everyone compares things to what they know and love. I have been to Europe a couple of times and I would never live there. Europe would be an OK place if it weren't for the Europeans. Most of them have very bad attitudes.

All of Europe's societies are committing cultural and national suicide anyway.

There are lots of lefty liberal pukes who think all kinds of things about 9-11 right here in America. Many people don't give a shit about 9-11. Even worse there are others who claim it was our fault. These creeps are right here in America. Some are on this board.

Europeans are not the only ones who display the mental illness of extreme liberalism. America is loaded with it too.

Blah, what does anyone care what the Germans think? Yeesh, why do we go out of our way to find things to get upset about?

Extreme Conservatism has its downfalls too...hell any extreme is never good, religious, political, social, any kind of extremism is dangerous and usually harmful.

I have several friends that live in Germany and in Belgium. They love it here. They love America and Americans.

The only "bad" thing they say is that we litter a lot compared to over there where you get a life sentence for tossing a cig butt out your window.

Other than that they love to travel here, love out beaches, love Las Vegas, love to go to D.C. love to go to rodeos, love to eat at Wendy's and McDonalds. They love it here. Oh, they also hate French. laugh

Germans are a strange bunch.

Must be the same bunch who belive that only a couple thousand Jews died in WWII.

It cracked me up to see some of the glasses they wore, when I came back stateside I saw the same glasses being worn over here and people thought they were voguish. Turns out the ugly frames were worn by the population who didn't want to pay beyond what the German heath system offered.

Aufpeterstain!

Towards you? Why am I not suprised. I bet their "attitudes" started as soon as you opened your mouth. I've never had any issues when I go to Iceland, and yes Iceland is considered part of Europe.

I've talked to many people who feel that since Iceland is an island, it's not part of Europe proper.

There are people who would argue that with the enormous cuban-american population, that Miami isn't a part of Florida, either. [Wave]

Nice comeback..... :rolleyes:

Iceland is part of Europe, as I Greenland. Greenland gained pseudo independant status from Denmark back in the 80ties. Nuuk, Greenland continues to be one of the most important US airbases.

Good halfway point between Europe and US....covers a large portion of the Atlantic ocean (air patrols) as well as the channel out of northern europe (well i guess thats more iceland). Anyway that would be my guess.
