<p>Wow this board is full of them. It's sort of disturbing.</p>
<p>Now, I completely understand where this is coming from. As a board we are a bunch of young intelligent people who are the age where we question everything. I've done the same thing. It's natural. However, a bunch of people here hold onto concepts and thoughts they read in a various philosophy book too dearly. Being a dreamer is ok but you have to be at least somewhat rooted in reality. If America sucks so much explain immigration numbers to me.</p>
<p>Lol. I hate the country that I live in. Well, not HATE, but dislike. I just want to move to europe, where everybody has the same interests as me.</p>
<p>Yeah I’m not saying you do. But based on some of the current threads going there certainly are people that hate America. One person was even talking about how she can’t wait to turn 18 so she can leave this garbage country behind.</p>
<p>Your arrogance is underwhelming. Expressing discontent at an aspect of one’s country is neither treason nor is it a sign of malevolence. If we were to accept at face value everything this country stands for today, there would be no progress and therefore no improvement. </p>
<p>Our nation’s founders are those who embraced certain ideas from “various philosophy book”(s). They chose great ideas, and rejected many bad ones. The very core of our nation, the statements outlined in the United States Constitution, have “amendments” so that our country can change with new values, social understandings, and unforeseen developments. Without those that would “question” previously held values, our nation would not have achieved independence, it would not have destroyed the institution of slavery, and it would not have granted suffrage to all those capable to exercise their vote. </p>
<p>So my question is: why do YOU hate America? Why do you seek to block the free expression of speech so explicitly guaranteed in the Constitution? Why do you seek to unquestionably impose your values on free thinking citizens?</p>
<p>Woahhh. You completely misunderstood my statement. I’m not talking about the Obama hating at all. I’m talking about people in a separate thread that were literally talking about their excitement at the opportunity of moving to Europe. </p>
<p>If Sweden was a state located off the coast of California I would totally move there.</p>
<p>If you’re so liberal that you believe that America will never get liberal enough to meet your ideology it’s not crazy to move to another country. Same applies to conservatives, but all of the conservative countries are poor or Muslim.</p>
<p>Because England > North America.
They have the best:
-music
-sport
-authors
-accents
-boys (english boys are pretty hot, lol)
-movies (harry potter, monty python)
-comedian (RUSSELL BRAND!)
I could go on and on.</p>
<p>Music - You cannot be serious. U.S. music absolutely destroys all other music. Everyone in England listens to American music.<br>
Sport - Americans’ love for sports cannot be topped. The NFL is equivalent to other countries’ soccer. And we have more. A lot more. NBA, MLB, NHL, college football, and college basketball. Yeah. We dominate this aspect.
Authors - Eh. Maybe. I really don’t follow this stuff so I have no idea.
Accents- English accents are ■■■■■■■■. Plus their teeth are disgusting.
Boys- You like white pasty boys with tiny muscles and hobbies like drinking tea and taking afternoon naps? LMAO
Movies - HAHAHAHA. Dumbest comment ever. Hollywood >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bollywood > all others. Like 99% of the movies Europeans watch are from the U.S. with audio clips over them for foreign languages. This comment is just plain wrong.
Comedian - I have no idea but you can watch any comedian you want on TV.</p>
<p>Alright.
Music- DONT EVEN GO THERE. Oasis, The Beatles, Arctic Monkeys, The Clash, The Stone Roses, Muse, Radiohead, The Jam, The Smiths > Fall out boy.
Sport- You don’t need alot of sports. European football is enough.
Accents- OH COME ON. Ask ANY GIRL and she’ll tell you that she thinks an english accent is sexy.
Boys- white pasty boys with no muscles? Have you ever heard of rugby? Those guys are HUGE. I’ll admit I prefer the soccer player build, but whatever.
Movies- Monty Python > Beverly Hills Chihuahua</p>
<p>Music - I’ver heard of two of those people/groups. And they are old.
Accents - Sure. All people find foreign accents attractive for a one night stand.<br>
Boys - Rugby players are gigantic. They look like the Hulk. That’s not attractive. Americans always are ranked as the most attractive population in world studies. Female and male. (And that’s considering the fact that we have a ton of fat people to bring the numbers down.)</p>
<p>You have never heard of The Beatles? Poor soul…
You probably should take a listen. England has the best music. America has a couple good bands, like Weezer and Rage Against the Machine.
Canada has Protest the Hero. </p>
<p>Boys- and I’m sure you count yourself to be one of the hottest boys in america? listen, you cant say ANYTHING about british boys. if you want ill make a poll about what boy girls prefer to prove my point. not that american guys arent hot, but british boys are best. </p>
<p>and you’re jealous that you don’t have an english accent.</p>
<p>I’ve heard of The Beattles and Radiohead. That is it. And you are talking about one genre of music. What about rap? R&B? Pop? Country? Etc. All U.S. dominated.</p>
<p>And this board may say British boys are hotter. Go ahead. Start the poll. But Harris polls continually show what the general population thinks. FWIW this board is a very bad representative of the general population.</p>
