USA runs the world" is why Americans are resented
Bill. Quote my statements in full!
Let's agree on one thing - if you are going to quote, do not bastardise my statements, and quote them in full. I did NOT say that the FACT that USA is the only superpower left is why people resent Americans. I did say, however that arrogant statements like the ones you made in the other post, one of which was "USA runs the world" is why Americans are resented.

911 has made it impossible to be humble any more
Americans were more arrogant before 9/11, I observe, because they thought America was untouchable. See the depressions, loss of motivation in New York, etc, that immediately followed.
Dunno. Maybe Afghanistan and now Iraq are meant as therapy to the collective American psyche <g>
If the Euros had not been so obvious about their contempt for us, we might have been nicer about the way we are doing things.
You are confusing cause and effect.

Very predictable. Naturally, I don't agree. And no, it was not my reason for learning French.
Do you know another language, Bill? If not, you probably would not understand why.
The Euros, like the Greeks during the rise of Rome, think they should be running things because of the alleged superiority of them and their culture.
No. I suggest you pass some time in Europe. |
