How do Americans do it?

Post by Snoopy »

Seriously, everywhere I go now. Whether it be on YouTube, other Forums.. etc EVERYONE likes to throw in their "America sucks", "Fcuk America" and every other word under the sun. I really hate it when people judge a country without ever having gone to it. People stereotype, and make outright stupid comments! Sure I've had my share of "America sucks" comments I have said, though I don't mean it, I just say it to start a flame-fest :) or a joke. Every Australian person who says "America sucks" is clearly just stupid...

Why am I saying this? Well recently, I have been just getting random hate comments in my forum message boxes or on YouTube. I see what Americans have been going through for all this time. People that are jealous.

Here's the shit I get.

the only good thing to come out of australia is the croc hunter.


Though clearly they don't think about anything that has come out of Australia...
    Black Box Flight Recorder
    Hills Hoist
    The Notepad
    Garage roller door
    Electronic Pacemaker
    The Bionic Ear
    Aspro
    Dual flush toilet
I mean, we didn't invent the Internet, the Computer or anything like that. Though some of our contributions are vital to technology today.

feel free to contribute your own works. together, we can make the australia hating alliance stronger than ever.


Then I get Japanese people sending me messages telling me to get "fcuked you racist white piece of kangaroo eating shit".

Image

Why do I get this? Because Japanese media apparently makes Australia sound like all rednecks. Just because Greenpeace Australia crashes into Japanese whaling boats on purpose to stop them from whaling. Taking innocent whales from the ocean (Might I say, It isn't THEIR ocean they're taking some of the endangered animals from). Then we make ads, which are intended to be jokes which typically; the Japanese take seriously. Sure, a lot of Australians since they bombed Darwin back in WW2, and drove their Submarines into Sydney Harbor and started attacking Australia. Though, why do they hate us? Because we don't want them using whales for their "scientific experiments".

AKA. Whale burgers.
Image

Now the Japanese whalers have resorted to using some amplifiers that cause internal pain to the ears of people. It's like a beam which they shoot at a boat and it makes a loud sound :) (iirc 150DB).

ANYWAY, That is my rant for today.

So, how do you Americans put up with it?

I ask myself, "Is there any other country I would rather be living in?" I then take a look around, decide fuck no, and go on my merry way eating my Big Mac and SuperSize fries.

loljk. In all seriousness, just laugh off what people say, and keep the mindset that anyone who says anything is just jealous.

1. Flamebaiting is worse than saying something with a belief behind it.
2. There are Australians who have lived in American and disliked it. They are entitled to their opinions.
3. Most people who says these things are kids. There are immature as it is, do you remember what it was like to be a kid? Hell when i was first on srf i was an absolute dick, because i didn't know any better. I grew up, got smarter and matured. Stop comparing everyone to your own self proclaimed superiority.
4.They might be joking or flamebaiting too, just like you do.
5. You just admitted your stupid, congratulations.

And this is different from Americans hunting other animals.. how? What's the difference between me killing a rat and eating it and killing a whale and eating it? Just because there's fewer of one species? Or is it because you think whales are pretty? We are born to hunt and so we will. Pigs, chickens, cows, whales, Flys, its all the same. Its still one more life taken. No animals life is greater than any other animals life. Screw saving the whales, lets save the mozzies! :roll:

You do realize your playing into one of the biggest stereotypes ever, right? Besides, don't think we are so awesome that they all hate us. I can assure you many Japanese people love this country. You just come back from Sydney, want to know where 90% of the population there came from?

xD well I just find it so annoying, that these people have the nerve to say something like that. Especially when majority of the Japanese don't even care and still travel here, yet it is those Japanese who realise that what they see on the media isn't real. It's overblown, because most Australians are extremely laid back and chill. Almost to the point of being considered lazy people, especially since we overtook USA on the worlds most obese nation... yet people still look straight at USA for obesity.

^^Sure I'm stupid. Oh and I have been to USA so I believe I'm entitled to my opinions also...

I just say what I see... People say shit about Australia before they ever come here. Sure not everyone is going to like it. Same as how people say shit about America and Americans without ever meeting one in real life or having gone there.

And yet you say shit about the japanese culture without having lived there enough to fully grasp every single cultural and social aspect of their lives and make a bleak sterotype self-centered around your own little desire to feel better than everyone else. Yeah, cause thats so much better than those dam American haters.

Also they were one of the pioneers of modern body armor. I love you guys :love:. But anyway, i tend to ignore it, gets on my nerves a lot though cause they are obviously kids who know not what they are talking about. Or tell them they are jealous and watch the show *popcorn*

Re: How do Americans do it?

@Twilliger: everything and anything I write on this forum people just read it and stamp their feet on it. I can write the exact same thing on a different forum and people aren't jerks about it. I don't mean to totally stereotype Japanese people though "some" Japanese people have no problem stereotyping everyone else.

The point I was trying to get across was simply. Americans have had shit said about them for a long time, and I don't know how they put up with it.

Now that I start getting messages of saying that where I live is shit. I don't know if it is jealousy or what it is and I'm aware that many Japanese people love this country and I too loved their country. I shouldn't have to agree with their eating whale meat, whether it is apart of their culture or not. I don't expect them to agree with people who eat Kangaroo, nor do I expect them to agree with some other Australian culture. I just think that people like to throw insults without ever having experienced it firsthand.

I don't know how writing this is supposed to make me feel any better? This forum needs more TOloseGT's, Sharp324's, Priam's and less Twilligers. Don't mount my dick and go off at me because I say how I feel. Atleast I'm not asking for modeling tips :wink:

Edit: And my America sucks jokes were only that; jokes. Australians have a reputation for being laid back, not uptight (Twilliger seems to fall into the minority ... obviously). Oh shit, generalisation? :(

Why should i be ashamed for wanting to look my best?

A couple of things here

Using that same logic you can't expect me to agree with what you said and must tolerate it. See where im going with this? I'll let you try to figure out what im implying, im feeling lazy

Oh and what about all those Japanese people you are insulting and sterotyping? Is that ok too? Or are you allowed to do it because they did it to you first? The simple fact is that sterotyping and racism has existed for years, especially towards Asian cultures (not just Americans, remember that). There are 2 stances you can take in my eyes. You either a.) Refuse to take part and tolerate it or b.) You accept that it will exist and not make anyone out to excluded from it.

Now lets see what you have done.

You preach how hard it must be for American's to deal with this while openly mocking Japanese culture with a complete and utter lack of respect for their feelings. How about asking "How can you Japanese people deal with it" because frankly they all share same thing. We all do. Just because you like American it doesn't grant it free passage from this racial war we live in. So either tolerate everyone and live like a hermit without degrading anyone, or just go all out and realize that this turf war does not exclude anyone.

Im not trying to mount on your dick, im just pointing out your contradictions. You bash one race while pleading how hard it is for America to cop the same abuse. See where im getting at with this? Don't preach tolerance when all you can do is fight the few immature people who simply do the immature games you do.

I like how you assume the ability to express opinions about something to be a "minority". Really reflects upon the intelligence of our society, dont you think?

It wouldn't bother me a bit if I heard Holland sucks all day, I already don't care how some Americans put Holland down as a terrible progressive country where everyone is transvestite, gay, smokes weed all day and visits hookers on a daily basis.
The first thing someone asks me when I say I'm from Holland is if weed is really legal in Holland?

Anyways, my point is that there are better countries to be associated with than Holland, but I couldn't care less.

What's with people constantly generalizing another's country or it's inhabitants? It's an enormous task for some of you to look past that isn't it? :roll:

No you don't, you want to stay here in America, from what i heard they are going into a recession too.


By the way people say that America is the most racist country, they need to think about the countries in Europe first. Have you seen the things happening in France? Japan is also pretty racist.
