Anytime you want to start trying to actually do that, instead of by turns threatening to do it and claiming it's done, would be OK. It would also be be OK to simply ignore this thread, if you don't feel like contributing to it. As has already been pointed out to you (presciently, if i do say so myself), nobody will be any the less wise for your absence. On the other hand, posts like John's bring up a legitimate possibility: maybe it's not America that "the world" (except Rolex-loving Albanians) "hates". Maybe it's not hatred, exactly, and maybe it's more specifically directed.
So thats it Iceaura, you are looking for someone to hate? You and 'truth'seeker claim that that Americans use more resources than EVERY other nation and i say prove it...but you cannot so now your frustration is coming to the surface.

What about the consumer debt. It reached 9 trillion a few months ago. Will you only see the light when it reaches 10 trillion? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

I just watched a commercial from "DirectBuy". They were showing a table that is normally sold by over $3,000 being sold by about half the price. I said to myself "who the fuck would spend over $1,000 with a freaking table?" Then they showed a map of their locations- all in the US.... Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Other people were giving "testemonials" in the commercial. "Oh I saved $30,000 with my kitchen. It only cost me $50,000." Wtf!? Do you realize the rest of the world doesn't spend ridiculous amount of money with crap like americans do? :bugeye:
I went to this huge real estate convention over the weekend starring Donald Trump and Tony Robbins. Donald Trump is complaining beause environmentalists in America have stopped rich people from on the water like they do in Asian countries. For example, artificial islands built completely on top of the water to house an entire airport or a vacation spot. He beleives that building an artificial island development has an insignificant impact to the vastness of the ocean. His justification is that building these islands provide jobs for people. Rich people believe they are the best thing for mankind because they provide jobs for people. The rich are the most beneficial part of the economy because they do all the hard work to keep the economy functioning. Too bad this is false because the rich are really leeches. When it comes to this thread of the world hates America. The equation is simple. They pay the price so we can live in paradise. If you are in one of those countries, you can say, "We pay the price so they can live in paradise".
Well, if you know, then tell us ....what are the "middle income" people? What's the high and low salary/income range ...exactly! Because if it's not exact and precise, then you must not know what "middle income" is either. Baron Max
Ever went to a suburb? Well, that's where the middle incomers live. Look at their houses and backyards. Then you will have a good idea about how much the US consume.
This discussion is ridiculous. It's so blatantly obvious and widely know worldwide that the US overconsume that it is ridiculous that some US citizens consciously turn a bind eye to it and convince themselves that what they consume just as much as the rest of the world. Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. :bugeye:
It's funny thaty nearly 60% of people responded "They are tired of America's oppression and terror." in the poll, eh? Huuummm...Why is that? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I did not even vote, as a matter of fact i dont even think i looked at the choices. Hardly a scientific representation if you ask me.
"It's funny thaty nearly 60% of people responded "They are tired of America's oppression and terror." in the poll, eh? Huuummm...Why is that?" -Because the poll was very poorly constructed. "Tired of America's..." was the least ridiculous of the only two substantive choices. It's like having someone ask if you found this funny because you are a young opsimath, or because you have an underdeveloped sense of humor (or other/don't care).
