*Looks around cautiously* Americans ?
 
I'm very sorry if this type of Thread is not alowed , i can't find anywhere that states it , so i am going to set it up ^^ If this should be closed go ahead ^_-

What do you think of them? I am English and live in the U.K, but i lived in America for half a year when i was twelve. I thought America was different in Good ways and bad ways. I'm not too sure about Bush myself , i don't entirely trust him but i guess i don't know that much so i can't judge. When i lived in America i realised just how Friendly and outgoing alot of Americans were. People would be so friendly even though they did not know you , they'd always smile and be happy to serve you in a Shop ect. England is much more prim and snooty sometimes ._. I think Americans are much better in a way.

Please don't turn this into a flamewar. This thread is for peoples honest opinions , so lets respect what we each think.

But i hate Bush...

I can tell u now bush is an idoit! There was a cartoon were bush was in it and he looked like a monkey and he was as dum as a rat. He said he's master plan to help the world was to make a Gaint ball of Yarn.

I don't think politics are alowed, but I do hate Bush. XD He makes me ashamed to be an American...

I'm not too offended by this thread, but you can rest assure that this thread is probably going to be closed soon, lol. ^_^; I think the rules of PC (located somewhere O_o) state that politics should never be discussed. I'm an American and I don't think very highly of President Bush. I'm not going to debate on it because I know someone will start a flame war with me. Other than that, I couldn't be happier living in a free country such as the USA. I love living in New England more than any other section here, too. There's a lot of old colonial history and I find it very interesting to learn about...knowing that my house used to be a tavern in the 1700s and my Dad said the town asked him if we wanted to make it a "historical site". Of course we didn't, but it's cool to know. Americans are sweet because when we work, they tell us to greet our customers; and, you know that question: "Who helped you today while you were shopping?" Well, that determines who get's a bonus on their paycheck. ^_^; Not to sound mean! A lot of us are nice people. On the other hand, I think the British are very friendly as opposed to what you think, Tattsu. ^_^ A British woman lived next door to me and she made me all sorts of beautiful costumes when I was little. She went back to England a few years ago, however. Ohwell! That's all I have to say...lol.

Yes, I'm an American, and yes, I think BUsh is a great president. At least he wasn't like Clinton, who had Bin Laden in his hand, and let him go, to see what he would do. This is gonna be closed soon

But, America's great, we came from just 13 colonies, to the great country that we are today. Not to mention that we have the strongest army in the world ^^''

I'm surprised that it wasn't closed, and I have no clue about what to say about for the topic of this thread. (I'm not American.)

ST: I make mistakes of posting a bad thread sometimes too. It was worse than this the last time I did.

~*Silent Tattsu*~ May 22nd, 2004 6:27 AM

*Gulps* .... Bad idea Tatt , bad idea...*Bashes head* I knew this type of Thread would not be allowed ._. Very very sorry Guys.... I guess i will not say anything about the replies , since this Thread will be closed. *Walks away cringing badly*

ASG May 22nd, 2004 6:29 AM

we may hace the strongest army but we aren't the rivhest we are the second richest.

Pokemaster10000 May 22nd, 2004 8:03 AM

I like US.....I hate Bush.
I mean he was having snacks with some other people when the 9/11 attacks occured. :P
Then he goes to war with Iraq! I think that was a bad move.

Ryoutarou May 22nd, 2004 8:57 AM

I live i the us...it's an okay country but some of my older homes like new zeland and mexico were way better...allthough bush..god just wrong and either way were screwed with this year's election why? You can either vote for Bush or Bush Light (kerry) ya so um...this country is kinda going the bad place in a handbasket.,

Chairman Kaga May 22nd, 2004 9:19 AM

I can't say that Bush is the best strategist or orator there ever was, but I don't think he ever intentionally lied to us about anything *shrug* But I just can't stand Kerry...I won't go into why I like one and don't like the other because I don't like to talk politics (although I am very informed on the topic) I even got exiled from pokemon zeo because I had an unpopular political opinion...I just don't voice my opinions too much anymore.

I like the idea of what America is supposed to be, but I don't like where we're going...the USA is swarming with ignorant hateful people and I despise the mindset that many citizens are in...we're so divided right now and I'm tired of it...it really hurts me to see us all like this.

Ryoutarou May 22nd, 2004 9:24 AM

yes i see what your saying but then again bush is just a puppet for all the other people controling this country he has little to no knowlegde of what is really going on. Still as i have said many times fix your own country before you take on anothe one.

Chairman Kaga May 22nd, 2004 9:29 AM

Presidents have no real power, you're right...it's all the congressmen and senators, as well as the courts, and they're all so divided right now that they'll never accomplish anything...we're going to be in this political gridlock for a long time to come I think -_-

pokey a.k.a espeon May 22nd, 2004 9:29 AM

U.s.a
 
I'm from Californai the bay area.I don't really care about politics meaning I don't usally listen Bush's speeches.What I'm trying to say is I just do my own thing.

Ryoutarou May 22nd, 2004 9:33 AM

umm right... anyway's kaga your right well even more so for this president he really does have little know how of what is REALLY going on...and do you think that we are really seeing all of what is happening? No! theres ton's of stuff going on right this very second that affecte's the war in way's some of us cant even think of. Sorry had to eidt that last line might offend some people.

CharMaster May 22nd, 2004 9:46 AM

/me has no comment on this topic except to say he's from the USA

Ryoutarou May 22nd, 2004 9:49 AM

umm....ya wasent that kinda spammy? then again this post is kinda spammy isent it...

Hikaru's Twin May 22nd, 2004 10:22 AM

Hmm...well let's see, i'm not American, but i'm Scottish--living in the U.K. I've never been to America before, yet i'd love to go! A lot of American people that i've met in Britain all seemed very friendly, so i'm not one to say that i hate Americans-regardless of everyone being an individual.
As for President Bush...well, in truth- i don't mind him so much and i am not against him (expect on one circumstance) but i'm not someone who's big on politics...so i'll just leave it there...

Ryoutarou May 22nd, 2004 10:31 AM

not all americans are bad but a mjority of them i have meet are racist and bigots

ryan May 22nd, 2004 11:02 AM

ya, there are a lot of nasty americans... but, it's sort of in the description, it's standard issue or something... well, i like america fine, but like most people, i'm not a big fan our government abusing it's power. war sucks and people who start it suck more.

Dizzy May 22nd, 2004 11:16 AM

I don't hate Americans, but I do hate America, and the President, and even though I live in America...I'll never ever in my life time put the little "-American" at the end of my nationality. You see... If this country had the imperial monarchy, like my dear Rome, and Spain, and It's mother England (GO UK) then maybe it would have better rulers.. but I guess not...SO GO EU!!!!!!!!!EUROPA NUMERA UNMA!

ryan May 22nd, 2004 11:38 AM

i don't think a monarchy would be so great... but you never know. *socialism*

Teara May 22nd, 2004 11:38 AM

(is zick, please excuze any grammer errorz thiz morning)

I've lived in America all my life and while I've traveled all over it I've never been out of country. In traveling throughout it I really don't think it'z all that great. Americanz make a big deal about being zo powerfull but nobody likes braggerz. Not to mention we(I'd zay they but I'm American too ;.;) have a bad rep for being pretty full of our zelvez.
Example 1:
America wantz every other country to be nulear mizzle free az long az America can have them.
Example 2:
Bush is acting all upset about what'z happened to the Iraq prizonerz but didn't he himzelf want the abilty to torture prizonerz? I belive it'z rather hypocrytical of him to try to gain the power to torture prizonerz but then when it actually happenz he zeez that the country iz in an out rage zo he automaticly actz like he hatez the idea.

It'z zad I know, that I'm pure American but I ztill dizzagree with alot that goez on here. I'd much rather live in Australia and az zoon az I can I'd love to move there.

P.S. You go Dixie Chickz!!
