    I get what you mean, now.
    Although I'm afraid Americans are equally as guilty here as non-Americans, in hating each other, both extremes are wrong.

    So you stereotype an entire continent based on the thoughts of a few members of these forums?
    *think And maybe you should, considering these "lazy-eyed inbred yurotrash" are our closest allies and the only ones in the world who will actually take our side against those who want to kill us for being Americans. Then again, you probably think big bad merica can handle the world by itself, right?
    I'm ashamed to be an American because the majority of Americans couldn't care much about anything more than where their next giant flat screen is coming from, so they can watch commercials about starving children in a higher resolution. Seeing Americans do that makes me understand why the rest of the world despises us. Its not just Americans either, Europeans are equally as guilty. But, Europeans aren't quite so bloody obnoxious about it.
    No, the proper use of the term is when you are describing someone who is paid enough to live, yet paid so little that it is impossible for them to leave. The way I use the term, wage slaves are serfs. I believe that is also the way @LampRevolt was using said term.

    @Spartacus, not in the same way as calling them all lazy eyed inbred yurotrash. I could, but I'd rather stick to a rational argument and not butthurt hate spewing.

    How is that not the same(even though kali did not call all europeans lazyeyed inbred eurotrash, he was talking about the ones who think that they are superior simply because they are european)?

    Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit either, eh?
    I am not making statements about Europe. I'm making statements about foreigners who fit some or all of these traits.
    You're an awful person.
    That's neither an accurate representation of the way the filthy reds use the term, nor an acceptable corruption of their version that allows you to berate them.

    Since I do not fit one of those traits, how do I fit in, other than disagreeing with you on alomst anything?

    I kinda agree with Kali. America probably gets more hate and is steroetyped more than any other place, there may be some crazy people, but I'm sure most are perfectly decent human beings, the same as everywhere else in the world.

    You cannot deny fitting at least one of these traits. You are the origin of:

    I was referring to another thread. You know, the one with the 4th of July being fun or not argument.
    Making stereotypical and ignorant statements stereotyping a vast majority of Europe, and therefore a large segment of members of these forums, is one of the most immature things I've ever seen done on these forums, and what's worse is that you continue it.
    Well, I'm only half American and I've lived in America only half my life, and was raised in England. Therefore, when I see people like you and I think how different England was just in general than America, it makes me disgusted to be even half the same nationality as you. A large fraction of Americans think the same as you, and frankly, that is a little scary.
    I, unlike you, wouldn't berate them for holding beliefs contrary to mine.
    It is not the same because I stated something many Americans acknowledge as a fact too, that America has an obsession with larger things. In fact, in my experience this is proven, things in Europe are usually smaller and less spacious than American things, notably architecture and cars. Whereas I'm pretty sure not many Europeans would us the term lazy eyed inbred yurotrash. For one, they would spell it eurotrash, if they did use it. For two, that would be insulting themselves too. And yes, Kali did use it to stereotype at least the majority of Europeans.

    There's plenty of smart, thoughtful people in America. They just seem to be drowned out by the obnoxiousness of main stream culture. Or at least where I live. . .

    I don't know whether you realise this, and I feel strange defending America against a (half) American, but Kali was talking about Europeans who think they're better than Americans. So, through your comment, you indirectly are saying most Europeans think this, which in itself is not right.

    EDIT: Also, calm down guys, no need to be constantly embaressed and disgusted at your country every few minutes.

    I completely agree. But, all Europeans see is our main stream culture, and they don't often get the chance to talk to the average everyday hardworking American. Instead, they hear people like Kali, which makes them despise America even more, which in turn makes more Americans despise Europeans, and the cycle goes on.

    You contradicting yourself. You keep saying Kali is stereotyping most of Europe(even though he is not), and then you turn around and start stereotyping America. A little hypocritical.
