America has become the most unappealing country to me
 
Very odd of me thinking that,but the place just seems to be inhabited by idiots.Nothing to do with the war as that is a different thing alltogether.This is not even an anti-american thread either(enough of them now).It's just that the place doesn't seem to produce anything of any worth anymore.

kind of a general statement. explain what you used to think it produced of worth that you think is lacking now.

Canada is filled with idiots too. You'd be surprised.

jon boy 11.23.2006 07:14 PM

i found america very strange but appealing. there are certain places that i woud never like to go and some that i really want to see again. LA was somewhere that i did not think i would like but was actually quite nice and somewhere i could go back to easily. where as chicago was one of the most boring places i have ever been.

being there really opened my eyes to a lot of things and destroyed a lot of illusions and preconceptions i had about the place. i was amazed at the way the homeless and mentaly where treated and the fact that there are so many of them. at least in england and germany there are some kind of organisations in place to take of them but in america it seemed there were none. the rich where very rich and the poor where very poor it seemed and the place felt as if it was on the verge of collapse somehow.

My Green Bay Packers 73-ounce travel mug will kick your 72-ounce Penn State travel mug's ass!

Savage Clone 11.23.2006 07:48 PM

Green Bay Packer fans make porky's point even better than regular sports fans, who do a pretty good job already.

CHOUT 11.23.2006 07:49 PM

My car is covered in these! If you live in the us and you don't have these on your car you are committing treason! God bless my bank account!

4 reasons to love America.

SpankMarvin 11.23.2006 08:11 PM

(Is it safe to come out?)

America is just like every other country. The victim of it's leaders. Let's hope things get a little more reasonable with the new congress/senate situation.

It's also such a huge country that it invites generalisations. On the whole, I've found coastal states to be pretty decent places. And, in fact, (though it's not a coastal state) Phoenix is completely brilliant.

Re things of worth. I understand but I think it's simply a fact of who cares about worth? In what sense? They're producing plenty, I reckon, though it's not news-worthy except for that thing. That war? Yeah that's about it.

50% of that country, probably more now, have been entirely misrepresented by their foreign politics. It's not a perfect nation, but neither's mine (UK).

I've been doing a lot of travelling between the UK and US. I really feel that, in terms of percentages, we are dead equal for idiots. USA just has a larger population!

I feel more chest hairs sprouting after looking at these. Those wheels are BIG, so that car had to be in AMERICA!

The whole world is filled with idiots. Where you are doesn't really matter. But flame on, rationality isn't an inherent part of porkmarras threads.

Hush the fuck up,Marras!Is this why you went to Starbucks to get your second cup of coffee this morning?Eh?Eh?EH?

porkmarras 11.24.2006 05:47 AM

Note:
I never said that nothing good has ever come out the USA so i don't know how that came about.
*checks what forum he's on*

I simply couldn't find a record by an american band in my record collection therefore i took it on the whole nation.It rarely happens with japanese noise records as they seem more efficient at making themselves found.

jon boy 11.24.2006 07:21 AM

the thing that really got me about america was the vastness of it and the scenery. taking a train through the rockies for eight hours and going through deserts and the grand canyon was simply breathtaking. america has lots of suprises. i didnt think las vegas would be any good but it was so much fun and going to the beach in LA for the first time was unbelievable.

whorefrost 11.24.2006 07:22 AM

Just curious, what parts of America have you visited, Pork?

You're probably in the wrong place if your original statement holds true porky. You love Americans because they make good whipping boys.
