Britain In Full Blown Economic Panic

Quote from Badoit:

I take it the majority of the users in this Forum are infact American...

Well, let me offer a different perspective.

Throughout the rest of the world America is regarded as a nation of ignorami. Fact.

Some of the comments in this thread only serve to support this position.

You sir, are an ingratious SON-OF-A-BITCH and a total FUCKING IDIOT!

If I had may way, American would be isolationist except for mutually beneficial trade. And you all could stew in your own messes.

Thank you for your different perspective, but please be more specific. Which country are you from? Specifically, which comments support your position? You know what the rest of the world thinks how?

And judging by the comments in this thread, the U.S. does not hold a monopoly on "ignorami." There is more than enough to go around.

"Pound of flesh"? Since when is anything free?

Take your example.... What if America had stayed out of WWII? Not stopped Hitler from conquering Europe and the UK? Not stopped Japan from conquering China? Not fought to end the war in Korea? Not stopped Saddam in Kuwait?

Where would the world be?

Don't you realize that the HUGE majority of wars are fought about someone wanting to conquer another to either capture their assets/resources and/or enslave their people? America has always been about STOPPING SUCH AGGRESSION... we've not "invaded others" for any reason other than to stop [perceived] injustice!

Taking an "outside looking in" view.... you want to say, "YES, you stopped Hitler, YES you stopped the Japanese, YES you stopped the North Koreans/Chinese, YES you stopped Saddam, and YES, you've sent us $TRILLIONS in foreign aid... And the free world is a better place for all you've done, all the lives you've lost and all the money you've spent... BUT YOU'RE STILL SHIT IN OUR EYES? We've given HUGE to the world... our money, our service personnel's lives... What more do you fucking people want?

Personally, I wish we'd have stayed out of others' political squabbles... we Amercans would be less the poorer for it.

QED, indeed, but like I said earlier, there is more than enough to go around.

Ok, fair enough Badoit. Now that you've enlightened us with your perspective, please list some specific examples of grievances that you hold toward the US.

Also, please inform me which countries are more enlightened (not ignorami) than the US and reasons why.

Thanks in advance.

These countries are in the worst condition right now (I'm talking out of just the developed countries. Of course there are developing countries that are in far worse shape): UK, Spain, Ireland, Italy, and Greece.

We need to keep a close eye on these countries.

They may be the first dominoes to fall in the next level of this crisis.

We're all in trouble. I say Canada and England join the U.S. as the 51st and 52nd states (French speaking Canadians would have to quit speaking French, of course).

Hell, Mexico isn't so bad (by Mexico I mean all Spanish speaking countries south of the U.S. border). They'll learn English quick enough, they can be the 53rd state. We now have a new world order. Problem solved.

LOL @ Canada and England.

Actually, I don't know about Mexico. Its situation is deteriorating fast due to its drug gangs. It may well collapse.

Mexico is quite bad, think a couple of days ago Police Chief's head was either found/delivered in an ice box :eek:

Hopefully they start running away towards here in UK for some of those sweet Latino females
