NB.. So I'm American..

[Scary Yamato]

I sure have some prejudice against USA but you guys sure know how to strenghten those believes by yourselves (the headline of the video is sarcastic): ...and yeah I know not all are like that, I know many intelligent dudes here in NB that are americans and so on...but that video doesn't make your image any better at all, just the opposite...I mean that's retarded

I've seen this video before in my political science class. Obviously this video was made to make fun of american's, so of course they are not going to show someone getting all the right answers. that wouldn't be funny.

I've seen another video (it might even be in this thread) where people in England were asked similar questions, and had similar responses. It just goes to show you there are stupid people in every country of the world, but those countries shouldn't be judged based on those people.

shorthand version: don't believe everything you see on TV

What do you think of America?
I am one..
I joined a chat convo filled with Europeans and Americans.
Europeans said:
- We're Brainwashed
- fat
- Ignorant
- Lazy
- Uneducated
- Conceited
The list goes on Haha
It's true were not perfect but from the chat it was just to much to read through knowing that so many Europeans really think of us like this.. ?
I live here so I can tell you what it's really like.
Please Add to the thread what you think of the U.S.
Even if you are American also :3

lol but yea all of those things are true and all of them are false.

i'd say a good majority of us are brainwashed. but also the majority of the world is included. to many lies in govt and media and people blindly believe everything they hear..

majority of americans are fat. we are known as the fat country but not everybody is. its just another stereotype.

ignorant. majority of people in the world are ignorant. not just americans. to steretype any type of people is ignorant..

lazy. what? nowhere near!! at least i dont think so! everybody i know breaks their backs to get what they want, some to make ends meet. especially during this recession people are working hard to get by.

uneducated. again applies to rest of the world and is not true for every american...

conceited? hells f*cking yea! lol as a country i think we are. its our attitude and mentality that we are the best country in the world. we just killed Osama (cough cough). lol

to all the haters of America

i myself answered the majority of those questions easily... but its propaganda. of course they're going to show clips of the ones who answered wrong. and the news would show that to portray all of America. lol smh

actually, if we are the most advanced country, why do other countries have access to high speed trains, high speed broadband internet access and other advances? In Japan, a train is considered late after 5 seconds has passed by. If the train is over a minute late, you are issued a excuse to give to your boss explaining why you were late and that it isn't your fault.

also in terms of education, currently the USA is 27th when it comes to math, behind countries like Finland (1), Japan (6), Germany (14), UK (19) and even the Russian Federation (26). When it comes to science, the USA is 22, behind Finland (1), Japan (3), K (9), Ireland (14), and Iceland (21).

as for the weight issue, it is true that more and more americans are physically obese,
"African-American adults have the highest obesity rates — 37 percent among men and nearly 50 percent among women. For Hispanic women, the rate is 43 percent. Hispanic and black children have higher rates than non-Hispanic whites.

Federal health officials had set a goal a decade ago that no more than 15 percent of people would be obese in 2010.

“We aren’t near that, and we haven’t moved in that direction,” said Cynthia L. Ogden, an epidemiologist at the National Center for Health Statistics and an author of the reports.

In addition, 68 percent of adults and nearly one-third of children are considered at least overweight, with a body mass index of 25 or higher. For a 5-foot-8 person, that would be 164 pounds."

Currently, the USA is 2nd in the CIA's GDP ranking, behind the European Union. China is 3rd and Japan is 4th. Though projections show China taking over the No. 1 spot rather quickly and soon.

And yes, any avid follower of Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reily and/or Fox News is easily considered brainwashed. Beck and Limbaugh are horrible examples of Americans who really just care about themselves and making a dollar. Fox News constantly twists footage, takes quotes out of context, ignores stories that they don't consider important when they really are, or make up completely and utter lies and report them like they are the honest truth. Fox News is a complete and utter failure as a news organization and honestly does more damage to the USA than they realize.

Yeah you're right but still it was kinda sad 'cause all those guys seemed pretty normal and original citizens so it's really weird their general knowledge is in that state. And I'm not hating USA or anything, lots of cool stuff have come from there and so on, but that just caught my eye.

[FiveO]

Hurmm I'm From Malaysia , To Me If You Said American Is Bad Well It's Not True, American Is A Human Too Same Like All Of Us, The Reason Way The World Said Bad Things About The USA because That Country Is So Popular, Why Because All Over The World Watch Movies Right And Almost All Great Movies Come From Hollywood, And In The News Everyday In The News We Will Hear about America At Least Ones, So America Is In Everyone Mind,Let Say What If Malaysia Take America Place Surely People Will Say The Same Thing, so For Me America Is Not That Bad Is The Same For The Rest Of The World, What I See Is Whatever The American Do I'll see the same thing Happened In Malaysia If You Say The American Is Selfish Well Same Here If You Say American Drive Like Crazy Hay Same Here, If You Say American Is Polite And Helpful Also Same Here in Malaysia , So The Conclusion Is Human Is All the Same all Over the World And Europeans Included

lol i know. they had people of different backgrounds and race, probably different states too answering questions and they FAILED miserably! smh.. like really the triangle has 2/4/5 sides!?!? where did they find those peoples?!?

but in the 2 vids i showed about Britain and German, the guy who made those vids proved a point that you can easily make a group look stupid by editing and shwoing certain clips.

btw i love your sig man "if you do not believe in yourself hard work is useless".. true words.

lmao yeah!..I hope those people have seen the vids

yeap I agree that's true, but most of the british vids answerers were kids like under 16 so their education and learning skills are still incomplete, so they shouldn't be showed in a vid like that. 'cause then imo the point is missing. and some questions were trick questions. but still agree that none of the videos are not credible to judge whole nation

thanks dude!...I think it was Gai who said that in Naruto lol..so it's definitely true words then!

i hope they saw it too..

but the thing is the teens should have more knowledge than adults because there still in school and the knowledge is fresh in there heads compared to the adults who havent been taught in school in years or something..

and yea it was unfair with the trick questions but smh i dont even think it was an excuse lol.. these people didnt even know Australia and thought it was France, North Korea, Iran etc. it killed me with that guy said "wow i didnt even realize how big North Korea is compared to South Korea" and hes pointing at Australia smfh lol..

i think one day im going to host an experiment like that myself..

and yea if it came from Guy than its legit.

[Schmack]

american and love it. sometimes our government makes shitty mistakes but we are what we are.

 

[IzunaUchiha]

Im American so im goin2 be leaning towards defending america. But America is like every where else its not the whole country its individual people, sure some MAY fit the stereotypical american others may not.


But ive seen people from other countries do and be the same thing, their not americans and its not an american life style its a personal life choice to get that way.

I am also an American. I am not a dumbass, nor do I eat the nasty greesy food's that are on every corner. This is because I do not originate from America.. But it isn't fair tha every single one of us are stereotyped... And tbh, I'm not trying to get anything started here but it is usually the British/European people who stereotype us. They act like they don't have Mcdonald's or whatever down there... Probably just as much as we do... Russia's Mcdonald's sell battery powered AK-47's for Christ's sake. It's bs how we get bombarded with these insult's, but I tend to ignore it and move on. That's just the kind of person that I am. -Thank you to the people who don't criticize at all, and who have some god damn sense left in em.
