Before you assume to give me orders on how to present facts, let's look at your position.
1) You are an American, with very little if any outside knowledge of the world, arguing that the whole world is attacking America.
2) You are assuming to set bounderies on what does and doesn't count as facts, without prior knowledge nor advanced comprehension skills.
3) The facts presented to you are seen only as attacks on America, regardless of origin.
4) You say that living in the US is the only way to be able to give accurate facts on Americans, but then procede to assume you know what international posters are thinking, without first living in their country of origin.
Experiences are all that humans have, without them we are nought but empty shells, waiting to die. It is the experiences we have that define the way we think, the way we feel, and indeed the way we look. You would be wise to remember this.
Y'know, I'm not standing up for this bullshit political turmoil that I argue with from users I haven't even met, I'm standing up for the thousands and possibly ALL americans discriminated around the world by bullshit foreigns who hate the nationality. Our government is corrupt, yes, ever read the K Street Gang? I admit Bush is a dick, our government is greedy, but I fucking hate it when some asshole from Canada or Britland (ie, Cureless_Poison tart) decides to just go "oh you're a fucking yank, you're ignorant and greedy and you bring trouble wherever you go".
Want a medal? No seriously, you're doing such a good job standing up for the billions of poor, poor, Americans who are loosing sleep over the fact the world hates them. Bravo.
It's fucking bullshit. I'm no patriot, but I would consider people like those extreme racist to be judging someone by their nationality and by generalizations like the one Steve the boy wonder here makes.
Again, you are doing your block in when you have failed to
read between the fucking lines, you dolt.
Ouch, I'm hurtin' bad over your need to call me a name which, I'm sure, makes you feel smarter.
It's like someone stereotyping someone from Scotland as a wig-wearing, bag-pipe playing, orange hair and bearded loud-mouth drinker. It's not right.
All people from scottland has a scottish accent, past that, they vary like the wind on a fickled day. But of course, what would I know, I've only met Scottish miners, store owners, and desk jockies over 5 states and 2 countries...
@Steve the boy wonder,
Generalizing that all Americans are fat, ignorant, obese and arrogant is simply just hypocrisy to your own country. The American race is far more hated than any other. Why? Because it's the most popular, and people take it as "a corrupt-government country with fat-ass ignorant pricks that play video games, are rich and are rednecks." Why don't you stop picking out the negatives of the US and think about the positives? A few tourists can suddenly change your opinion about the US? 5 or 10 people compared to billions?
Ouch, that name still smarts...
You ignorant twat. Please, any day, quote me as saying "All Americans are fat".
Again, you are proving my point of "America can't be hated! It's all their fault!". But hey, you missed the point of the ratio as well, so this doesn't surprise me any more.
And as a side note; My Hallmarks, which you so want to put down, not only show in all of your posts thus far, but also have an error ratio in the 10% area.
The real reason America is hated is because it is the most popular and cliche'd country in the world to hate. You think we are ignorant and you can immediately recognize us by "hallmarks" of an American as a genetic code. (Although this would be impossible, since you cannot be 100% american, duh). America is the most popular country that displays hypocrisy. Meanwhile, there are literally hundreds of other countries that don't have such a bright past, too. So, why does the world hate America and not Australia, England or China? Simple. They are trying to cover up their own bullshit hypocrisy.

You see, here in lies your problem, you are defending the generalising of America, by in turn spouting factless opinions and generalising the whole world. But hey, I'm sure this doesn't count since you aren't generalising America.
You cannot say that all Americans are tart, use any jutification whatsoever. It's the human race that are assholes, assholes from Australia, assholes from America, assholes from UK, assholes from Madrid, whatever.
And I never did, you moron. You are taking an overly aggressive "Pro-America" stance that is leading to you thinking with your arse, further re-enforcing most peoples opinions about Americans.
Let's first define the word which I've used most, "Typical";
# exhibiting the qualities or characteristics that identify a group or kind or category; "a typical American girl"; "a typical suburban community"; "the typical car owner drives 10,000 miles a year"; "a painting typical of the Impressionist school"; "a typical romantic poem"; "a typical case of arteritis"
# distinctive: of a feature that helps to distinguish a person or thing; "Jerusalem has a distinctive Middle East flavor"- Curtis Wilkie; "that is typical of you!"
# conforming to a type; "the typical (or normal) American"; "typical teenage behavior"
Now, let's do some
very simple math.
295,734,134 people in the US.
The average human brain can hold thought on ~5 individual people at one time.
So, if you where to think about 5 people, every second, you would need 684 odd days to think about them all. To do so is obviously stupid.
The term typical is used to define a large amount of objects (In this case, Americans), and the way they 'typically' are. You should notice the difference between "They are typically", and "They are always". In my english classes, the meanings of those two are worlds apart.
If, of course, you had bothered to fully read my posts, and not just focus on the negitive parts (
Why don't you stop picking out the negatives of the US 
), we would actually be some where to answering your original question.
@ferdvds,
A corrupt government does not decide its citizens. How can you judge the government as corrupt? You simply disagree with it, but in no means is it officially corrupt. Sure, capitalist ideas and "the rich survive, the weak do not", etc etc more so-called evidence from the middle east, but in reality it's just someone's opinion covering a horde of other opinions.
The people voted Bush in, he didn't buy all those votes.
@anti-Americans,
You can stereotype me as a redneck, a blind patriot or even a "typical american", but in reality, you should check the country you live in.
I wouldn't say red neck, I'd say spoilt little smart arse.

Next time you post, please try not to generalise, assume, focus on negitives, or contradict your self, as if you don't obey the rules you are setting down your self, the is no point in you wasting my time, which is better spent watching paint dry.
Now we go to the incompetence level. You say that in this debate, I am incompetent to you (don't try to debate on this fact, please, only proves my point). You say that you'd rather watch paint dry, which is a clear sign that I am incompetent in this debate, and you are the superior. So, what else? I'll just summarize all my ideas and feelings about your post into a mere synapse of my original debate (I haven't the time, gotta hit the hay in a few min). Let's just take a look at what kind of bullshit you just "wasted" typing:
1) You are an American, with very little if any outside knowledge of the world, arguing that the whole world is attacking America.

This further explains my point, you know nothing of me. I've been to England, Denmark, Tokyo, Mexico, and much much more. So, why bother trying to explain me? I could be a muslim, a christian, an anti-christian, a Jew, a Neonazi, anything. Yet you presume that I am a full-time "typical" American. If you are trying to find a way to counterpoint this, please don't use "judging from the facts you presented", because it forces my first impression ideology even further, which will, in term, make you look like a living, breathing contradiction.
2) You are assuming to set bounderies on what does and doesn't count as facts, without prior knowledge nor advanced comprehension skills.
Wow, who came up with this bright idea

No, I am not setting any boundaries, I am actually forcing an opinion on the right facts and the wrong facts (i.e your facts, imho). No comment on the prior knowledge bit, except for the fact that you are trying to state you are superior to force your facts.
3) The facts presented to you are seen only as attacks on America, regardless of origin.
General attacks. Like you said, impossible to trace all of them down. But I guess your hypocrisy only matches the amount of contradiction in your posts.
4) You say that living in the US is the only way to be able to give accurate facts on Americans, but then procede to assume you know what international posters are thinking, without first living in their country of origin.
Now, where did I say this? With all of your pride and confidence in knowing oh so much about the US, I just made a prediction that you've been there, but then this came up and starts sprouting from the misintepretation that you come up with.
Experiences are all that humans have, without them we are nought but empty shells, waiting to die. It is the experiences we have that define the way we think, the way we feel, and indeed the way we look. You would be wise to remember this.
Now, what happened to mind, body and soul?

I thought that made up humans, not "experiences". You could presumely try to counteract this, but of course, will only end in your own hypocrisy. Sorry, a presumption

Want a medal? No seriously, you're doing such a good job standing up for the billions of poor, poor, Americans who are loosing sleep over the fact the world hates them. Bravo.
No, I am just defending my point of view on the verbal attack on America. Of course, only someone like you wouldn't understand this. =)
Again, you are doing your block in when you have failed to read between the fucking lines, you dolt.
There is, in theory, no lines to be read between. Just hypocrites like you who state they are. Like you say, "bravo."
Ouch, I'm hurtin' bad over your need to call me a name which, I'm sure, makes you feel smarter.
A comical remark in a debate, but in truth I am curious in what goes on in that void of a mind of yours

. No need to take it so seriously

You ignorant twat. Please, any day, quote me as saying "All Americans are fat".
"All americans are ignorant."
Again, you are proving my point of "America can't be hated! It's all their fault!". But hey, you missed the point of the ratio as well, so this doesn't surprise me any more.
Again, this proving my point, inferiority and superiority. I would explain more, but I don't feel like doing so (even though I have again and again and again).
And as a side note; My Hallmarks, which you so want to put down, not only show in all of your posts thus far, but also have an error ratio in the 10% area.
No, I just hate someone who can immediately recognize americans by your so-called Hallmarks. If I would make a hallmark, I would say that all Australians are stubborn, and that they think they are superior to the rest of the world. Hey, look, an australian with the hallmark of being a stubborn hypocrite. Get the point? =)
You see, here in lies your problem, you are defending the generalising of America, by in turn spouting factless opinions and generalising the whole world. But hey, I'm sure this doesn't count since you aren't generalising America.
Hmm ... I once remember saying something called a paradox of generalization. But hey, I guess not everyone understands a waste of time, and in fact, tries to refuel the same idea that they are countering. =)
And I never did, you moron. You are taking an overly aggressive "Pro-America" stance that is leading to you thinking with your arse, further re-enforcing most peoples opinions about Americans.
Wow, once again, misinterpretations spout again. Moron? Wow, that stung a lot. Yes, I am an American moron arguing with the same guy that says names don't make people look smarter :p So, who's the real guy contradicting himself here?
Let's first define the word which I've used most, "Typical";
# exhibiting the qualities or characteristics that identify a group or kind or category; "a typical American girl"; "a typical suburban community"; "the typical car owner drives 10,000 miles a year"; "a painting typical of the Impressionist school"; "a typical romantic poem"; "a typical case of arteritis"
# distinctive: of a feature that helps to distinguish a person or thing; "Jerusalem has a distinctive Middle East flavor"- Curtis Wilkie; "that is typical of you!"
# conforming to a type; "the typical (or normal) American"; "typical teenage behavior"
You must feel really smart.

But, then again, what in the world does that prove? Absolutely nothing. =) A Webster dictionary definition makes you look smarter, alright. Pretty smart. =)
Now, let's do some very simple math.
295,734,134 people in the US.
The average human brain can hold thought on ~5 individual people at one time.
So, if you where to think about 5 people, every second, you would need 684 odd days to think about them all. To do so is obviously stupid.
The term typical is used to define a large amount of objects (In this case, Americans), and the way they 'typically' are. You should notice the difference between "They are typically", and "They are always". In my english classes, the meanings of those two are worlds apart.
Now is the time where you can show me a chart in which people are ignorant, and where people are not. In order to make something "typical", first you must need an official number of something (which, of course, you don't have). But then again, more evidence of my point.
If, of course, you had bothered to fully read my posts, and not just focus on the negitive parts (Why don't you stop picking out the negatives of the US Surprised), we would actually be some where to answering your original question.
Wow. More evidence of ignorance from you? Yep.
The people voted Bush in, he didn't buy all those votes.
Turmoil. It was rigged, probably. Ever read the real facts? Yes, they might've voted for him, but according to such evidence, not entirely. Calling me a contradictor? Sure. Do it again and again if it makes you look smarter and pleases your mind.

I wouldn't say red neck, I'd say spoilt little smart arse.
Course, this is where you shut the fuck up

Next time you post, please try not to generalise, assume, focus on negitives, or contradict your self, as if you don't obey the rules you are setting down your self, the is no point in you wasting my time, which is better spent watching paint dry.
More, more, more evidence of superiority/inferiority. You're a generalizer, you also assume, you focus on negatives, and you contradict yourself, and you don't exactly follow all the rules you made. There we go, another contradiction of you. Watch your post again, please. Read over it to make sure you are following your own rules and not sprouting more hypocrisy.
@Grunger,
Finally, some sense in this topic. Thank you, you seem to be the only one reasonable here, and not just because you are defending US, but because you are proving a point and not spouting shit like Steve here
@Cureless_Poison.
How about you shut the fuck up, trust me, makes you look a great deal smarter. Please don't be a dickhead (is that possible?) and please don't stereotype. And isn't it time for you to stop posting in this topic if you know that all you do is fuel and refuel more fire to this debate? in fact, you want to turn it into a FLAME war, which we don't like

So if you'd be as so kind as to fuck right off, I'd (maybe we'd, except DarkKnight) aprreciate it. Thanks, goodnight.
