It's usually along the lines of how "savage" they are ;P.

"Cars? You guys have cars over there? Plus, wouldn't it be hard to park beside mudhuts?"

All fun and jokes, he takes a stab at me a few times too. Pretty funny.


Something that pisses Australians the most is tell them they come from Convicts and blah blah. That kinda shit and they usually get pissed off. I do at least :)

That kind of talk never bothered me really. I like the t that we were raised from a settlement with a lot of convicts, if anything it highlights that with good ol' hard work you can create something beautiful out of nothing.

Besides, the whole Ned Kelly scene is just epic in my eyes.

I hate I guess, but I ran into some brits over Xbox Live, and they knew I was from the US, and they rambled on saying we were the ones who caused 9/11 and shit and say we invaded Iraq to steal oil and kill innocent people... and I was like, first off all, we had a right to invade Iraq because of the battles from the 80's-90's and we have to defend the fuel cuz if not our economy would cripple and so would the rest of the worlds, so we actually saved millions of lives by doing so. Second of all, we are not the country the colonized, killed, enslaved over 100k people and turned places like Australia and the USA into colonies, especially India. We are a good country no matter what anyone says. I also got yelled at for people sayin "the usa is greedy because we only sent like 28mill to the south of asia for the tsunami victims, but people dont realize we can only send so much for foreign aid without a consent, anymore we have to have the congress vote on it, its our laws people! we wouldve sent more right away if we couldve

A lot of English people seem to dislike America, whereas I get the impression that much of America likes England. Yet I think much of Europe isn't overly keen on the English :D

All in all, we're all a bunch of bigots :)


Bigots! That made me lol! :D

Silkroad is a kid's game, most people that play it base their opinions of other countries on the way the "kid's" act. Really no other country in the world has any right to make fun of the USA.

Seriously every disadvantage has its advantage! I indeed am plauged with the generaliztion that we Dutchies are Weed smoking drunken people living in windmills and put on Clumps. While nobody actually knows that Blu-ray, flat screens etc. where invented in our Bloody drunken weed smoking country.

Oh yeah.... I wanted to rant that felt GOOOD.

And idd, mistoke the first TVs. Totally careless, I can do say however that technology like "backlight" and "ambielight" originate from Philips in NL.



Philips and Sony started two projects applying the new diodes: UDO (Ultra Density Optical) and DVR Blue (together with Pioneer), a format of rewritable discs which would eventually become Blu-ray Disc (more specifically, BD-RE).[8] The core technologies of the formats are essentially similar.


Guess what, Philips research Centre (The campus) is in bloody Eindhoven, in bloody Holland.

I'm English, and have always felt a strange affiliation to the USA. I have no family there, and no real reason to feel especially connected with the States, but I've had friends online from the US and I certainly don't think the country is much far removed from England. As you put it, I equally "heart" the USA :)

China and Russia apparently aren't "allied" as such, though are "close" as they themselves said. Different sources say different things. Russia says that if USA were to attack Iran that Russia would defend Iran and China might intervene. Though it's thought, that if anyone attacks Iran it would be Israel and would apparently be all over before the Russians woke up. China's military isn't quite developed as of just yet, although they have the largest Military by population standards.

Although America is considered the strongest country in the world. It couldn't take on two superpowers at once. Though America and her allies, could conquer the world for sure :)

Americas military has deteriorated. If USA were to get into another war right now, they wouldn't be much use. Iraq wasted a good amount of resources, where now soldiers in Iraq find themselves at a ammo, armored car shortage.

Not entirely true.

A lot of country has the right, well.. sorta. When America does something, it affect the world. Like say when it attacks other countries or fck up the economy, it affects the world. Like it or not, America is not a country by itself anymore. It has LIVEs of the world attached to it. Its like say.. when the company become so huge, the worker start to have union and they have a say in how things run too. Anyway you get the idea.

America invests the most money in military spending in the world. The armored car shortage thing in iraq is the mismanagement and stupidity of the people overseeing the war.
