    Americans don't know shit about the rest of the world, the US government is the main bane of the world, the Americans re-elected Bush so America is wrong, Americans know nothing about geography, the same old stuff.

    I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to agree with Alen here. If greed was something that came about through watching other people, humans would have fixed that long ago. Greed is something that you feel even before you understand what you're doing, as seen in several pre-schools, kids steal toys...

    It's my opinion greed is part of the human psyche, something that has always been a part of life, not just because of witnessing others. Greed is human nature. The Assyrians were rather barbaric, but their decisions come from the same thinking as we do today. Civilizations and nations must...

    I was reading an employer's critique of students at Penn State (my university) who interviewed for jobs and internships at different companies. One point of criticism that came up was regarding geographical knowledge. When I read this, I wasn't surprised whatsoever to find that an employer...

    They did indeed, but they also made quite a lot of people suffer. That's my point. The United States has given the world quite a lot as well - not as much as the Roman Empire - but people don't want to accept it.

    You have to put things into perspective here. I agree with you in saying that geographical knowledge is important, as I couldn't see myself sitting here not knowing or caring about the rest of the world. I cannot even fathom why some people would not even care to have that knowledge, as there...

    Exactly, and what I'm saying is that not everyone understood that and not everyone voted for that reason either. The people who really bring this country down are the hicks who love their weapons and only vote Republican in every race because they've been brought up that way. For some odd...

    Many people also tend to forget that a vote is a vote for themselves, meaning that they vote so their interests are protected. Many people voted for Bush the second time around due to his supposed passion for protecting the country. While this might be rather stupid considering the nation is...

    Wow, my Lord, that is such convincing evidence. All Americans are idiots.

    It's posts such as these that make me sick. Yes, I know full well about the atrocities my country has committed, and I'm certainly not going to bite my lip when it comes to blasting Bush for essentially murdering thousands of people, even our own. But what I will not stand for are these little...

    PURE bullshit, dude. You seriously think that if the United States government stops supporting Israel, the whole problem will disappear and the Middle East will live in harmony? Like I stated before, this struggle in the Middle East has been one of the banes to humanity long before the United...

    Congratulations for what? Knowing where Lebanon is located? Is it safe to say that even if every American knew where your country was located, you still would hate us?

    I'm American, I know where Lebanon is located. I know where Beirut, Tyre, Tripoli and Sidon are located. Hi, nice to meet you.

    :disagree: You see, this is why I don't exactly respect your opinions. All your arguments are based upon generalizations, that of which are highly biased. I could easily say that many Europeans would not know how to locate certain places on the US map, including States such as Rhode Island...

    But you see, all this is easy to say and has been said time and time again. Yes, many people don't follow politics or care about other countries, but the same can be said about other people around the world. Most know Bush is in office because of nonsense, but still people blame people such as...

    You attended OSU, that's great. I attend Penn State. Not everybody loves Bush here, in fact more than 60% don't like him whatsoever, so please refrain from the generalizations. I didn't like Bush even in 2000 when I just graduated 8th grade. And I wish people of other countries would not...

    It's just so funny. Just because my government are a bunch of idiots, people treat me like someone who agrees with their policies full stop. Everybody thinks Americans are idiots, but where is the line drawn?
