    Not just Middle East, look up South and Central America, and Malay Peninsula.

    Americans are busy living their lives, not to be bothered with this kind of brutal crimes their representative carry out all over the world.

    Typical redneck busy life is stuffing shit at McDonald's and shopping chemically poisoned shit from WalMart and Banging with the BELLY.

    I love talking to people that make comments like these... Be honest, how much of the world have you traveled? Have you seen, firsthand, the anger and envy aimed towards the US?

    Well, actually...

    - look at US obesity rates, compared to other countries
    - Americans are buying poisoned goods, think about all the recent toy recalls

    "The American life expectancy of 77.8 years at birth[157] is a year shorter than the overall figure in Western Europe, and three to four years lower than that of Norway and Switzerland.[158] Over the past two decades, the country's rank in life expectancy has dropped from 11th to 42nd place in the world."

    Oh Oh! No good. Damn!!!!

    This is another part of the problem. The article, While posted for the wrong reasons, Highlights some valid reasons why the middle east generally dislike america. And what do americans do? bury their heads in the sand and act as if they are the victims.

    I agree with cupid, the majority of America is quite ignorant. Nobody wants to educate themselves or ever look at the bigger picture, they just want to keep consuming and consuming and eventually pass on their DNA.


    I've never been to other countries so I won't speculate how we compare, but i know we have our fair share of undisciplined, uneducated a**holes that make for a very good reason for other countries to hate us.

    "school life expectancy" means shit.

    that is really a poor gauge of how educated your citizens are. 95% of my current knowledge has not come from a school and never will. i know plenty of unintelligent, ignorant clowns at my "level of education". i seriously cannot stand when people think that because you continue on to college or whatnot you are a smarter person. guess what, you can be as book smart as you want where will that get you in life? how are you gonna stand out among all the other people with applications that have done all the same shit as you?

    my sister has a masters degree in psychology and she's JOBLESS. has been for a year after she got it! how's she supporting herself? she gets it off of her husband who is an electrician who never went to college. and yes, he too is a pretty smart man.

    i bet you if you cut all this "we need to educate our children!" horse sh!t our politicians spew, we'd have a lot more educated children. you have to WANT to learn, it can't be forced. and you should know, when things become mandatory you have a LOT less desire to do them.

    OK. Here is average IQ's. Wasn't trying to say that college=intelligence. (Just trying to find guage to judge).
    Here is another source of national IQ's. I know statistics can be crazy sometimes, so here is another source.

    Can't open it, school computer with security settings. IQ tests are based on timed reactions, it probably has to do more so with how fast neurons are firing in your brain than how intelligent you are. but you could go dictionary.com on me for the word intelligence.

    ignorance is really the issue i'm addressing.. and last i checked there is no ignorance test. i believe having an open-mind and knowledge go hand in hand. most people are busy watching mtv, banging hookers, getting banged or playing WoW rather than trying to understand the point of their life. the first step to partial enlightenment is to realize you are a consumer.

    when you analyze that fact, you can learn so much and beat others in the process.

    You forgot 8, 9, 10...

    Top tens always seem more well rounded IMO..

    8. Too many Christians

    9. Too many Jews

    10. Because religion tells them too

    And here we have another ignorant American who doesn't know about other cultures than their own!

    Improve your education system instead of trying to fight terrorists (hey, I used to live next door to a "terrorist" country, northan Ireland)


    "In God we trust"

    I think that motto is offensive to a lot of people

    but once again, with Americans ignorance the person who created it hasn't established that there's other religions and cultures exist beyond a white Christian America!



    btw

    1) I don't live in the middle-east, I live in England.. an ally to America
    2) If Ron Paul wins in '08, as soon as I turn 18 I'm going to study computer science in the USA... if not, I'm moving to Canada and playing in snow
    3) I don't hate America, just it's government and it's ways of solving problems
