Do you like the US?

[Sidhe]

Like the people alot have a few internet buddies from the US(play in the same clan on voice chat) hate their government alot. Also Like Cartesian Fart alot, him and me go a little ways back to last year when we used to play ptw together. Simillar sort of personality to me. Slightly anarchic but funny with it So to sum up people in the US great country from what I can see of it great. Gov bunch of idiots. IMO.

Do you like the US?

Does it actually matter to the average American that I do?

I would be surprised and shocked if they gave a damn.

Currently I am living in Middletown, CT. I don't like Middletown, CT. So I voted, "I am not American and I don't like the US". Now you might say that Middletown, CT is not the US, but it is the US I know, and how could I vote on what I don't know.

Are you from Italy?

Well, I give a damn. It's why I started this thread.

Good enough for me.

I guess you could say I like the US.

 

[Godwynn]

No other place I'd rather live.

 

[De Lorimier]

I'm a Non-American, and I like the US. Spent a considerable amount of time down there, great and wonderful people on the whole.

Ditto on all counts!

its not a yes or no question, certain parts like certain americans i really love and other things i really hate.

 

[marioh]

Of course I like the US. If I didn't, I would've moved by now.

Well, me too, but overall, I must say I like it more than I dislike it.

 

[dragokatzov]

Are you from Italy?

Nope, but I used to live there. I've changed my profile.

I wish one of the people who said that they dislike the US would explain why... I'm guessing though that the silence just confirms what I stated in post #18.

 

[Stewie]

I find that the more informed a non-American is about the USA, the less they hate it.

The non-Americans that dislike the USA are the young pseudopolitical idiots who haven't a clue about how the people here really are. Basically they are the equally idiotic opposite of the ultra-conservative American that worships the word of The O'Reily Factor almost as much as he worships the word of the Bible.

Well said! For a while I was disturbed by many comments in various threads before I came to the same conclusion.

I've explained why, but if you wish me to further my point of view... here you go:

I dislike Middletown connecticut because it is small a far from places. I dislike it because it lacks many consumer goods I wish to purchase. I dislike it because the police are out to get me, when I'm drinkin and put me in jail (I'm only 20 years old you see). I dislike Middletown because the winters are freezing and the summers are sweaty-ass hot. I dislike Middletown because there are about 3 other european kids here. I dislike Middletown because people in general are pretty shallow. I dislike Middletown most of my friends are not in Middletown. I dislike Middletown because most women in Middletown resemble cows or owls. I dislike Middletown because I can't get a hold of The International Herald tribune here. I dislike Middletown because the are no public green spaces, etc, etc, etc. Reason enough.

 

[CIVPhilzilla]

The US has its faults, but I still would not want to live anywhere else. There are some many oppertunities available in this country. I do not like the administration running the country and the other politicians in charge, as they are diminishing the greatness of our nation.

 

[The 777 Hoax]

Yeah, I suppose it could be worse.

 

[Perfection]

Of course! It's got Minnesota, and Minnesota kicks ass!

 

[GinandTonic]

Love and hate the states. Part of being british is having this sucessful younger brother, who does loads of great stuff but keeps making these unbelievable gaffs.

BTW James Blunt as no 1 hahahahahahahahahaha you poor buggers. Should get him out of our hair for a few months.

EDIT - guess what the next track on the radio was. Must be that karma thing.
