Funny that you make fun of europeans.On the land that we discovered.From among former europeans.

europeans "discovered" america right, are we forgetting that people were already there?

by Anonymous 15 years ago

Funny how you are assuming that the OP is making fun of Europeans, when the simply stated "you're."

by Anonymous 15 years ago

you can't prove that the people who had already discovered america before the europeans were european. they were most likely from asia. and, i mean, if you want to take credit for nearly completely destroying the native culture of new england and beyond, go for it. i'm not sure that's something to be proud of though. as an american, i know i'm not proud of what former americans like andrew jackson did in terms of protecting the culture. the english settlers were worse though.

fucking idiot, internet wasnt made by the americans.

No one alive today was part of the group of people who discovered America. So unless you personally were involved, you can't hold that over our heads.

nor did the OP, or anyone in this thread personally invent the computer/internet :p

Yeah, you guys totally discovered it.*And yeah, we have every right to make fun of you on this land, because we rebelled and severed ties with you. And we saved your asses from living in a Nazi-controlled continent, so with that, and all the inventions we've given you, you can just go fuck yourself using dildos powered by the batteries that WE invented. *You didn't discover America. There is evidence that people from West Africa, China, and pacific islands all "discovered" America before 1492.

The concept of the computer was developed by an englishman, not an american. But I have to say, thanks guys for your nuclear bombs, squeezable bacon and box office hits. These passed few generations sure have persevered like no other. Don't take credit for things invented hundreds of years before you were born. When we call you stupid, we're referring to the current generation of obese, underachievers set on teenage pregnancy. Not the pioneers of the past.

by Anonymous 15 years ago

I understand what you're saying, but not all Americans are obsese, or pergnant. I actually believe it is Europe that has the highest teen pregnancy rate (or has this changed?) And America is the 11th fattest country. Just saying.

Those only list major countries. And back to my point, not everyone in America is stupid, obsese, or a teen mom/dad. America is a large place, so it is to be expected that these rates are higher.

by Anonymous 15 years ago

"America is a large place, so it is to be expected that these rates are higher" That's not even remotely true. The above links give the stats as a percentage for obesity and per capita for teen pregnancy, so the total population size wouldn't impact the ranking at all.

by Anonymous 15 years ago

That made no sense. You NEED a population to measure these things. What you said is like saying you don't need people to conduct these percentages. So the population size does impact the ranking. You need a number of people before you can decide what the obesity/teen pregnancy rate is.

by Anonymous 15 years ago

No Judy, that made perfect sense. I can't help but wonder if you are American.

by Anonymous 15 years ago

Why, yes, I am American. What does this have to do with what I said? Are you perhaps implying that I am stupid simply because I am American? Well, whether or not you think I'm stupid (which is something based on your own opinion, not fact), it's not because of where I live or where I was born.

Are you replying to me? I said nothing about obesity or teen pregnancy. I was replying to the fact that someone assumed the OP was only directing this post at Europeans.

i dunno what happened, trying to explain that to 'anonymous', sorry.

hey anonymous, the internet was not invented "hundreds of years ago...."

That is a ridiculous steryotype of our generation. Every generation has been assaulted by previous ones because they don't like how things change over time. It was even doubted that what we now call the "greatest generation" was capable of fighting in WWII. I could steryotype younright back and call all modern Europeans freeloading crybabies who take every penny they can get from social government programs and riot and protest about nothing all the time. You are also pussies who bitch about having to retire at 60.

Wooooow OP.....way to be way oversensitive (forgive me if i spelled that wrong)...and you do realize that in a lot of American cities the Europeans are right don't you? It's not like they're making fun of every single person in america, it's just generalizing, and if you havent noticed Americans like us do it too.

I was adding in information. "When we call you stupid, we're referring to the current generation of obese, underachievers set on teenage pregnancy." And to me, this does not sound like a simple "what you are known for." This is more of an opinion given by whoever "we're" is.

the internet was created in Europe

by Anonymous 15 years ago

No, it was created in America. In the late 1950's, after the USSR launched sputnik, America wanted to interconnect it's computers in the pentagon , cheyenne mountain, and elsewhere. This and other American programs after it created the internet as we know it today.

Eh, let 'em say what they want. Europe is like a douchebag father that can't be proud that his child, America, has surpassed him. But they're just sad that we succeeded when they failed. America is all grown up now and we don't need to worry about what anyone else thinks of us.

The average American didn't invent the computer or the internet, he just uses it. Einstein was German, does that mean all Germans are geniuses?

by Anonymous 15 years ago

Well Germany DID take over like half of Europe until we stepped in.

by Anonymous 15 years ago

:P Germany didn't, Hitler did. You people need to stop using one person to represent a whole country.

by Anonymous 15 years ago

hitler was behind it, the nazis carried it out. and, i could be wrong, but im fairly certain, probably, most likely, the nazis were german.

by Anonymous 15 years ago

Just because Hitler was their leader doesn't make him responsible for EVERY single thing that happened under his rule.

by Anonymous 15 years ago

If "Germany" took over half of Europe until "America" stepped in, how does this help the argument that America invented the internet?

by Anonymous 15 years ago

The ONLY reason why Germany ever took over was due to the reparations of World War I. Hardly ANY country was prepared to fight a battle; they were completely thrashed and in debt. Therefore, through appeasement, Germany became stronger. However who formed the battle tactics? Russia, Britain, neighboring allies, and last but not least, America.

by Anonymous 15 years ago

I agree with you that the reason WWII started was because of WWI, but that was caused by Europeans. Europeans were the ones who rejected the Fourteen Points and came with the the Treaty of Versailles. Europeans were the ones who left Germany angry, but still strong enough to fight a war. Europeans were the ones who appeased Hitler and let him take the Sudetenland, Czech Republic and Poland. And as far as the battle tactics go, you have got to be kidding me. Russia? They were getting torched (literally) until the US stepped in and Germany had to focus their attention onto the Western Front. Britain? Lucky to not have been invaded, could barely fight off the Nazis and there's not a chance they could have gone on the offensive. And if by neighboring allies you're referring to France, hahahahahahaha, you make me laugh. Oh, by the way, a stupid American didn't have to look any of that up.

maybe you should take a look at the post this is a reply to before you step in.

Yeah, and obviously Germany taking over was like, the best thing ever. Yay for Germans. Not Really.

by Anonymous 15 years ago

I agree with the few posters. It is not about the country, regardless if the education or however you want to portray it is different, people are people, not smart depending on the country. Yes, we can be quite opinionated and hard-headed, but really? That is NOT all of us. Every country has stereotypes and if you want to be ignorant about it and believe it, you are no better.

I'm American, I'm not obese, I'm not stupid, even though I'm a teenage girl, I'm not pregnant, and I don't wast my money on "every new shit invented." Yes, stereotypes do come from some truth, but not all of us are exactly like these stereotypes.

by Anonymous 15 years ago

You don't even know a small chunk of people who live in the US, so why are you saying "most of them"? That's just plain ignorant.

by Anonymous 15 years ago

I don't like people who generalise so I normally dislike people making the "Americans are stupid" argument, but claiming that an entire country isn't stupid based upon the, admittedly world-changing, contributions of a few individuals from that nation is just erroneous. Compare the average test results of school kids, examine some of the extraordinary and ridiculous events that occur, both for good and for bad; and then judge.

by Anonymous 15 years ago

How's about you just don't judge people you don't personally know? Or better yet, don't judge people period. Assumptions are usually wrong anyway.

Oh!!! Well just relized something the internet was in fact invented in the U.S, and the computer was origanaly a bulgarian man's invention, but on your computer you have a choice of three programs; Windows, Linux, or Apple and all of which were invented in the United States of America. So techincaly you can't use your computer without these, so please stop saying Americans are dumb. Some Americans are dumb, but so are some British people. Also like people have said we could make generalizations about British people too!

by Anonymous 15 years ago

Just because I live in America doesn't make me fat and stupid. Yes, there are some very stupid Americans, but there's also some very stupid Canadians and British people too. If a person does one stupid thing, people say their stupid, but we all have done something stupid, but that doesn't mean we are stupid. It is really annoying how everyone who is not American just assumes that America is a very dumb and fat country when they are just saying that from stereotype and barley knows anything about America. The truth is, most stereotypes are not true.
