I don't understand the question, but I do see that your standing on my property. Don't make git ol' Bessie, now scram!

World news my arse, moderators must be away at a pep rally or something.


You guys were busy in here last night, did you have a sleepover or something. Watch Billy, he puts full soda cans in his pillowcase a la Sean Penn. How am I supposed to read all this excrement you guys call "thoughts" before going in to work at 8:00? This is just plain inconsiderate. Somebody could have at least called and left as message that I needed to get up a little earlier? Tsk, tsk!!

well it must be some americans that are stupid. well in the horror films don't they always go down that dark alley, or go to investigate, instead of getting out of there. no wonder they always end up dead. it rare i seen an horror film where this actually an intelligent one in it.

I don't mean to sound down on you or anything, but when i read this, i couldn't help but think about the fact that YOUR family immigrated from somewhere. So when you refer to immigrants as stupid, you might wish to remember your family heritage.

i agree with you dark blizzard. most of england does suck ass, and i am from the north of england. it those southerners that spoil it for everyone here. you think of england and london comes to mind straight away. the best towns are cities are up north. Edinburgh, manchester, glasgow, newcastle, sheffield, and liverpool are great cities and towns. London just totally sucks.

i pretty much just gave up on my people when i read an articlein the newspaper that went something like this..

some guy is robbing a store at night. as hes walking out with his loot, he looks up and sees himself on the security television. he drops everything and unhooks the tv, taking it with him; LEAVING THE CAMERA.. which went on recording the entire thing. dumb criminals we are. im moving to canada or sweden when i hit 18. :D

I must say, I have a great deal of sympathy for people like Horror. It must be terrible living oop North and seeing us Londoners getting the best of everything. I think they should have a customs post at Watford Gap, if we can can stop northerners coming down here, they won&#39;t be so jealous. But seriously tho&#39; (hehe) we&#39;ve got the best of everything down here, that&#39;s why as soon as people can afford to, they move South, to God&#39;s own country. I think the fact that London and the Southwest subsidises the rest of Britain pisses Northerners off too, but we don&#39;t mind, we have more than enough.

It does&#39;nt matter what race a person is, they are either nice or not :)

If we are so stupid why hasnt any nation invaded our land and occupy our country. At my count there have been 2 world wars and we have been on the winning side on both and in fact the 2nd one didnt end until we joined.

Lets not forget that most people want to live the American dream and those who dont are too afraid to admit it because they belive the propaganda they were told in order for their leaders to gain more control over them.

Fair point about the war, it wasn&#39;t won until you joined in. Why was it you waited to join in exactly, Oh that&#39;s right you joined in when you were attacked. Sorry I thought it was because you wanted to support your friends in the UK.

We would have done the same. No wait a moment, we join you right from the start and are your main allies, no matter what anyone else says.

I am Scottish of Irish decent, all four Grand Parents were born and raised in Ireland. I really have nothing against the Ameriacan people and would love to visit. I sent my wife for a long weekend to NY a few years ago for a special present, a shopping trip with her sister.

But trust me I have no wish to live in your country. It&#39;s nothing against you, I just love it where I am. It&#39;s not London but then again I can do without the horrendous house prices and cost of living and the feeling of living in the world&#39;s biggest rat trap.

much like those ridiculous people at the soccer games who start brawls and make an ass of england i have nothing against england nore do i judge a whole country on a few "THOUSANDS" peoples actions.but i see people judging americans because of a few people who do soemthing stupid.so since i see alot of that going on i might as well think most of england are full of mindless idiots who sit get fat and drink beer a soccer games only to start a fight where hundreds of innocent people get injured when all they were trying to do was enjoy a game.so thanks to all those people who opened my eyes by basing america on a few people&#39;s actions. :rolleyes:

Fair point about the war, it wasn&#39;t won until you joined in. Why was it you waited to join in exactly, Oh that&#39;s right you joined in when you were attacked. Sorry I thought it was because you wanted to support your friends in the UK.

We would have done the same. No wait a moment, we join you right from the start and are your main allies, no matter what anyone else says.

I am Scottish of Irish decent, all four Grand Parents were born and raised in Ireland. I really have nothing against the Ameriacan people and would love to visit. I sent my wife for a long weekend to NY a few years ago for a special present, a shopping trip with her sister.

But trust me I have no wish to live in your country. It&#39;s nothing against you, I just love it where I am. It&#39;s not London but then again I can do without the horrendous house prices and cost of living and the feeling of living in the world&#39;s biggest rat trap.

Well that by far has been the most intelligent response I have read in this tread. I dont really belive everyone wants to live here or be like us and I dont want them to. People need to be individuals and become thier own person other wise life would be very boring.

I have never been out of this country (other then going to Cananda) and I would love to visit other countires. I love my country and dont want to live anywhere else. I am not here to put down anyone or thier countires because no good can come from it. I dont care where you are from it dosent really make me like you or hate you. I judge you on the type of person you are. Every country has its good people and bad people and it is unfortunate that most countires get judged according to the bad people.

Dont take offence Rapfan. I am not attacking America. I am stating facts in reply to someone(No not You&#33;) who is attacking either my country or its people and suggesting that we cannot survive without the USA. I have actually been in 26 of the 50 states and enjoyed the hospitality in everyone of them(Except Texas). The only trouble I had was when I left for a short visit to Canada and they would not let me back in(For a wee while anyway). Personally if I was America I would close my borders to everyone and withdraw from the rest of the world for a few years and let them get on with it. But then I am not right in the head(Official&#33;).

I agree. We let everyone in because we believe in showing everyone what a great country we are. But we let the bad in with the good. America needs to get itself straight. I also believe that we help to many countries and it sometimes backfires. We backed Saddam against Iran. We were Osama&#39;s mama too against Russia. It&#39;s a catch 22 because America is afraid of another Hitler so we jump into the fray head first. Bush is an ass who reminds me of the character in the movie The Dead Zone.

The bad part.
If the US stood on the sidelines, closed our borders, and had a hands off approach, I firmly believe the world would fall flat on it&#39;s ass. WE JUST HAVE TO PICK OUR FIGHTS.

Should we be in Iraq. NO....but.......who is Saddam going to fire a nuclear missile at? America................. conundrum
If America wasn&#39;t around, Russia would have ran rough shot all over Europe.

No you are wrong. History has proven that when one country tries to take over, it becomes overstretched, ergo weaker, and eventually returns to its original borders. The vast majority of the countries in this world do not need America, Britain or Russia or any of the &#39;Great Powers&#39; and they survive without them.

If we are so stupid why hasnt any nation invaded our land and occupy our country. At my count there have been 2 world wars and we have been on the winning side on both and in fact the 2nd one didnt end until we joined.



You are the world leaders because you profiteered in the early years of both these wars, and were far enough away from the action that you never had to rebuild your country after the war (like every country in Europe and the Far East had to)..and so could Lend the money to rebuild to everyone else, making even more profits.

....eg UK has only just paid off its War Debt to the USA.



And you are trying to make up for being late for the last 2 World Wars now, by being REALLY punctual for the next one.

I would love it if the USA were to close it&#39;s borders to the rest of the world and become totally insular. No trade, no travel, no communications. You are certainly powerfull enough to do it. Let&#39;s say 10 years.

Let the rest of the world see how it can get on without you. Let you see how you can get on without the rest of the world. I think that the USA will be fine and the rest of the world will have to sort out it&#39;s own problems.

No pressure on you or your economy any more. You produce enough wealth without having to sell to other countries.

Men did NOT come from apes, we came from a common predecessor which was neither man nor ape. From this branch point, time and geographic separation lead to the development of different species, each occupying it&#39;s own ecologic niche.

Lucy&#39;s my granny. (http://www.wsu.edu:8001/vwsu/gened/learn-modules/top_longfor/timeline/afarensis/afarensis-a.html)

Of course the whole concept of linear evolution of man has come under a great deal of criticism, lately. Maybe some of our more recently educated members can fill in the gaps. From what I understand, genetic evidence points to the fact that 95 or so percent of all present humans share a common matrilineal ancestor. But I&#39;ve also heard theories that state humans evolved simultaneously at different geographic regions. So what&#39;s the deal?

I spent 5 consecutive summers at a fundamental Christian camp for 6 week intervals. I have heard all I need to hear about Jesus to make an informed decision.

Throughout time, many "bibles or scriptures" have been created to explain human existence on Earth. How do you know that yours is correct, other than you want too?

The real point is that the Bible is an ejection from the thought process, the powers of reason and deduction. You either believe it or you don&#39;t.

Discussions here are for people who are trying to forumlate a more natural cause for our existence. We can compare notes, debate evidence and best of all we can critique proposed theories for weaknesses. The scientific process does not rely on "faith" at anytime and it has no interest in adhering to a theory which can be proven wrong. Scientists use evidence to create a theory, this theory is modified over time to reflect new information. This is distinct from Religion which takes scientific data and a shoe-horn to make it fit into an immutable and foregone conclusion.

Most people who believe in evolution, think of it a framework about which to structure the data, and most will admit that it is far from satisfactory in explaining creation, but this is what we have to work with at the moment.

Scientists are not endeavoring to disprove God,( in fact, I think they would all be greatly relieved if he made an appearance), but to try and understand the forces at work which brought us to pass.

I find the religious contingent to be quite afraid of scientists, lest they find something that will threaten their beliefs. But religions have kept them hindered and in the dark long enough. Go believe in your Bibles, but don&#39;t call it a science to be taught in schools, and stay out of the way.

What&#39;s your point?

The bible is a book, most if not all of it is fiction, ever questioned why "God"
In the bible contradicts himself telling you it&#39;s a sin to kill, then in an other passage "God" is instructing people to kill?
A man who&#39;s strength is in his hair instead of his muscles.
Noah’s boat lacking the space to store billions of species?
Never mind all the different humans.

I could go on but what’s the point, the bible was written by humans it has some historical fact which in itself can be debated but most of it is imagative story telling by humans nothing more.

Evolution is not simply the straight tree that Darwin had thought apart from the common ancestor it&#39;s a interweaving web were Humanoid species competed and interbreed some died some survived to get to this point.

I can prove that evolution is happening now very easily,
Why does the flu virus come back every year?
because it evolves just enough to get past the immune system which wont recognize the new version and has to go though whole process of developing antibodies against it,
Sometimes the evolutionary changes in the Virus are so different from the previous version that you can end up with an epidemic were millions die

That is evolution in action; can you provide proof of your God?

Maybe if America had entered WW2 when the rest of us did, Hitler would have gone nowhere. The holocaust wouldn&#39;t have happened.

I&#39;m sure there&#39;s lot of countries in the world that can say they wish America had stayed out of their business.
I, for one, living in Ireland, admittedly a place with its own problems, can say I wish Americans hadn&#39;t funded and armed a lot of IRA/UVF activity. To look at my country&#39;s problems is to look at a lot of countries&#39; problems.

You came into WW2 after you were attacked, what would have happened if you hadn&#39;t been? As someone else pointed out, you don&#39;t go into any war without us now tho, do you?

Bad news old bean.

You may have just re-iterated a couple of points I made some posts ago. I am sure this shocks you as much as it shocks me.

The eurocentric and christian policies of greed, perversion, hate, fear and conquest made cultures extinct, and caused a holocaust far worse than the famous European one with that German guy... Seems that is what western culture is good at breeding. Mass murderers.

Until you are willing to face the blood of my ancestors on your predecessor&#39;s hands, stop bitching about the power your world created. Had we "savages" had the same technology the lying bastrds that came across the Alantic had, things would be MUCH different now.
Europeans - that&#39;s a bit sweeping. My ancestry at the time was Irish. I take it we are speaking of some time after 1066 but before 1939.

I stand to be corrected but the Irish were never known for their empire building exploits. Indeed we were probably under the same yoke as your people were.

The technology and the culture are usually inter-linked. If you had the same technology you may well have been the same kind of people - consequently, the world would have been little different from what it is today.

Largely peacefully, earth centred, cultures tend not to go in for heavy industrialisation and mass weapon production.

The indigenous peoples of the Americas, Australia and parts of Africa got a raw deal. There is little point in denying the fact. It was once said that to determine if a a man is saintly ask his wife. Those cultures that have lived alongside the results of European migrations rarely give us the thumbs up on that one. It is little surprise that they have cherished their own religions and cultures in the face of the contradictions presented by the incoming ones (put crudely "Our God is love - now give us your land.")

It tends not to be widely known but the population of the Americas was greater than that of Europe in 1500 and through war and disease over a couple hundred or so years that population fell between 15 to 20 million. A genocide in anyones&#39; book.

I appreciate your anger. However do you think it really justifies your descent to the levels of the very people you protest against. Not all of Europe is guilty of raping your country.

Please feel free to attack specific groups if you wish, however leave the rest of us out of it. In fact as a said earlier, we are probably also victims of the same oppressors and looters.

this thread has gone on for a long time. what is common fact is that in any country thers is that select few that are just born stupid. if we were all born virtually the same we would all like the same and sound like constant sticking records. what is fact is that some countries have done stupid things. We all know what happened in WW1 and WW2, the americans sat back and let the true fighters do all the dirty work. And because of their help in finishing the wars we are always eager to join their fights elsewhere, like IRAQ and so on.

Well, as you know, this thread originated from my idealistic belief that Americans were superlative at everything. I bristled when Clocker suggested that we were stupid. I took umbrage, I did. We are not just stupid, I advised, we are Americans and we don&#39;t do things half-way, we are the stupidest.


Well, well, well, extracting that exchange from another thread, Billy Dean hoisted this little thread upon the world, and let you people open your mouths and hearts, voicing opinions on topics ranging from the World Wars to evolutionary theory. You people have presented evidence here, for which I have no rebuttal. You have offered statements here, which have left my mouth agape and drooling. Your eloquence with words has left me praying for a world of mimes. In short, touche, well done, I surrender.

I do, hereby, fully retract the statement that Americans are the stupidest, in light of the evidence given in these 4 pages. I honestly don&#39;t think we even place in the top 10 anymore.

Again, good points, well presented.

The non-stupid americans being a minority is not a condition specific to the US. :)
Intelligence is a rare commodity no matter what nation you may live in. For some reason, we (Americans) just seem to enjoy exporting our stupidity more than other countries. We let the stupid among us host radio and television programs. Then make sure the signals for them travel to every imaginable region of the world. We elect them to higher office. We even give them all computers and broadband connections, just so they can advertise the deficiencies of the american educational system on a more global scale.

Our stupid are not more numerous, just louder. :lol:

Perhaps because instead of actually reading our posts you are paying attention to the echoes of Fox News ( which you must watch constantly to be so familiar with it&#39;s views...) in your head.

I&#39;ll have to archive that under the "lame excuses" file&#33;

FYI I watch many different media stations. Its enlightening to see the differences in their propaganda and then look at who owns said media stations.

It certainly brings new meaning to the phrase "Fair and Balanced" thats for sure...
