Quote from Sasha Vassily: “Really? Since when I have been trying to sugarcoat my words and not calling a spade a spade? I am not you, blowing my own trumpet about my own country without any relevance to reality. Wake up, little girl.” You wake up. You disagreed with me and told me I was ignorant, which is exactly what he wants to hear. Quote from Sasha Vassily: “ Xenophobia is better than a total denial and ignorance about the world like yours. And what about your own jingoism, that blind self-o…

Quote from Sasha Vassily: “Most Americans don't think about Iraq? Are you in a la la land or are you trying to say that Americans are not only stupid but deaf, dumb and blind as well? :rofl:” No, most Americans don't think about Iraq and quite ignorant about it. When thinking about it, it's mostly limited to troops are there are they're fighting "terrorists." Quote from Sasha Vassily: “He said it because he didn't realise this isn't an American forum and neither are we 'under American influence'…

^I didn't ignore what I said. I disagreed because I'm from a region that's not listed by Sasha as being influenced by American culture when I know for a fact that American influence is significant there. The same applies to the other regions I mentioned. And you have denied a lot. You keep trying to say that the UK's culture is "completely" different from the US (like you just said), which isn't entirely true. The culture of most Western countries is pretty similar. You even tried to say that th…

^Of course you agree with Sasha. He's saying everything you want to hear, or at least thought you wanted to here. And how convenient of you to ignore that he included the UK in his list of one of the countries that ARE influenced by the US, which you kept trying to deny. And I really want to see your response to what I said about xenophobia and jingoism. And Sasha, what on earth are you going on about? American pop culture is NOT only limited to the other English-speaking countries! I'm from Per…

Quote from tomski: “We have pride? An american telling me that we have pride? Look at your own country first please.” Nice try, but like I said in the other thread, there are people here are more than willing to rag on the US, but in your country? How many people would be willing to do that or talk about the atrocities your country is responsible for in the past? Not many. Quote from tomski: “ Our TV is no way near dominated by American shows. Yes, there are a lot of american shows but the vast …

Quote from tomski: “Yes I did read your post but it seems you are actually incapable of answering my question. I left it up to you to decipher the fact that I didn;t agree with your reasoning or logic that the US could go to war with those two countries for the same reason that war was waged against Iraq and was asking for reasons why war would be legitimate.” I made it pretty clear that I thought that invading Iraq was illegitimate so "with that logic" implies that invading South Korea or Russi…

The US doesn't need to "think" it has the most influence; it does. And it's not surprising that a Briton is the one who's in denial. I've talked the other Britons on the Internet and I've noticed that you people have so much pride that you flat out deny facts that are obvious to others. Have you looked at the culture of Western countries (and even many Eastern countries) including your own today? Clothes, music, movies, TV? It's essentially American. Do you know why English is spoken in almost e…

Quote from tomski: “Okay, I'd like you to list a few reasons why South Korea or Russia should be invaded by the US.” Did you even read my post? I said "with that logic," implying that the reason that was used for Iraq ("bad man") could be used to invade the other two. Quote from tomski: “First off I'd like to point out that Mayank is not from the UK but from India if that is what you were infering.” Doesn't he live in the UK? Quote from tomski: “ Secondly I'd like to point out that people outsid…

Stop exaggerating. I didn't say you thought about the US every single moment of our lives, but it's true that you think and talk about the US regularly while Americans don't talk about any other countries or care. And of course everyone talks about the US; the US has the spotlight and has the most influence.

LOL, you people actually believe her? Surgery on a deviated septum does NOT require you to change the shape of your nose. What a liar.

Quote from Sasha Vassily: “Welcome to the American mind. He just said what is in the mind of most Americans but can't put to words because of the fear of resentment from non-Americans.” That's not true. Most Americans don't even think about Iraq and don't care. And the one who feel the same way as he does would have no problem saying it. Why do you think he said it lol?

^He's right. Quote from MaYaNk RoCkS: “Have a look at this website : - Britain for Americans :rolleyes:” Most Americans don't know much or care about Britain (or any other countries for that matter). On the other hand, people in other countries are obsessed with the US. Count how many threads you made about the US lol.

Quote from LovetoLive: “england ppl r well smart! wooo party :o cuz a liv in englnd :p” English people lol. Quote from Dualnames: “America is a little lower because of all the Mexicans entering our country. I bet if England had a border with Mexicans it would be a smudge lower aswell.” Your response in the other thread about Iraq made it clear why the average here is lower.

Quote from Dualnames: “Well it wasn't really bombings, it was more like steal a airplane and crash it into our important buildings. They killed millions so why would we just sit back and let them do it again and again? If we didn't go to war they would keep doing stupid stuff like that.” Are you serious? :eek: Iraq was a secular country (look up the word if you don't know what it means) before the US invaded. The Bush administration tried to make it seem as if Iraqi government had links to Al-Qa…

She's beautiful and it's nice to see an East Asian win. Usually Latin America (:)) and India dominate these things.

I sorta agree with Sasha. Whether it's just fundamentalism or not, the three Abrahamic religions are responsible for so much trouble and grief in this world. Quote from Jia-Ren-Qu: “Buddhism is good.” Buddhism is a Dharmic/Indian religion like Hinduism. They're completely different from the Abrahamic religions. Quote from SugarRush: “I thought Islam was a religion of peace and forgiveness :rolleyes:” If you're a Christian or Jew, you are in no position to talk.

Quote from [NorthernLegend];319877: “You make silly opinionated comments and expect me to respond with factual ones. I'm finished talking to you.” Please, you never actually responded to anything so if you stop responding in this thread it won't make a difference lol. As for my "silly opinionated comments," they're more factual than anything you've said, which is pretty much nothing. Nice try, though.

Quote from [NorthernLegend];319871: “Its funny how I do, but you never seem to read my resonses :D” You never actually respond to anything people say. Quote from [NorthernLegend];319871: “ You've said "you fail" a couple of times already, try thinking of something new. Saying lame things like that doesnt bring you any closer to winnign a debate.” That's funny because I got it from you.

Quote from [NorthernLegend];319480: “So basicly you're saying that discrimination exsists evrywhere? What an original idea =]” No, that was a given. I was basically* saying you wouldn't have as much trouble (or any) as non-whites would with discrimination in those places or anywhere around the world. You seem to have trouble grasping that fact along with white privilege in general. Quote from [NorthernLegend];319480: “ As for other cultures being "western-like" that is a matter of opinion.” I di…
