    Referring to another thread, where he and @Bart were arguing about the fun of the fourth of July. In this thread he directly stereotyped and attacked most Europeans and European culture.
    Read above.
    I'm not stereotyping America. I'm stating what is a pretty sure thing, based on my experience, most Americans work specifically for material gain, as do most Europeans as well, yet ignore the plight of the citizens of third world countries. Then they wonder why the rest of the world despises the west so much. Its very obvious, to those who actually stop to think about it.
    Europe vs. the US will change into helping the third world vs. leaving them alone which will turn into socialism vs. capitalism. Be prepared :p

    I would say the west gives enough money to developing countries. However, the most important thing is where that aid is directed and how it will help the people. I think by far the best thing we can do is to make sure everyone is able to support themselves, through farming or whatever, and then GTFO.. haha

    I don't agree with any idealistic 'improving' of countries, as you already know :p

    First off, when did working for financial gain become evil?

    Considering the amount of money and donations that are made and the sheer number of charity organizations that exist, I call bullshit, there are plenty in the US who care. Not only that, but anytime the US even exerts influence outside her borders, everyone shouts about evil imperialist America, let alone anytime we intervene in one of these little wartorn nations. First off it is not our obligation to help any of these thrid world countries devolop(even though we frequently end up doing just that). When the europeans were the world's superpowers, they did not try to help underprivlaged countries, so why should they or anyone expect us to?

    Although, in this case, his steroetype is true, as most people in the western world do work for material gain.

    He still stereotyped americans, right after saying he was not stereotyping Americans.
    That always happens on these forums.

    Maybe you can't read either, but being of the opinion that the Chinese deserve better living conditions doesn't mean I'm of the opinion that we should charge over there and give them it . I really don't know where you people get off assuming everything. I don't like what's happening, I can say that out loud. That has nothing to do wit h what we can or should do about it. You're right you did get high.

    Maybe I should elaborate on my beliefs , before you and melan can come up with some more autistic assumptions about my beliefs. I believe we should openly talk and debate about civil rights issues world wide. I think we should never ignore information that pertains to this world as it effects us all, and I believe that me talking about things shouldn't be misconstrued into retarded American fantasies of world wide aide spreading military action. I am of the opinion that the worldwide community should condemn the chinese governments exploitation of it's people in China, not invading China in some self righteous crusade.
    You should love that, as it's just like you. You've never contributed anything to any thread.


    Oh and one more thing, I think it's pretty rude that Kali is ragging on Mustache because he's fucking German and doesn't have perfect English. Did you not think about why he was confused by that statistic? He misunderstood what it meant, get over yourself or learn fluent German.

    Can't believe I missed all of this....

    I knew Mustachio would get into this argument because he is almost exactly like Lampy. General Mosh is in here just because he can't agree with Kali, and I don't know what the fuck side Sly is on.

    @LampRevolt
    You consistently try to make yourself out to be better than every theistic person. You act in such a manner that you are what we know as "God". You say I don't put up reasonable arguments but yet you go around calling theistic people savages and barbarians, and then even trying to belittle me by my beliefs? You are everything I despise in a person, you are evil to the core. I literally want to kick your ass over your behavior (I have never wanted to fight). You act like you are the most intelligent person ever and even CLAIM to be enlightened. No one is ever truly enlightened. You and mustachio are the most horrible people I have ever come in contact with. I would even go as far to say you are possessed, but you would just belittle me even more. No, I have never cried due to your belittlement of me. See, people like you are what is wrong with today's society, you don't let us have hope. You continually attack us for having hope in paradise after we die. IS THERE SO MUCH WRONG WITH THAT? Yes, we have had zealots here and there but they aren't the majority. The majority just want to believe and hope that one day we will find paradise. You know, I once that "hell" doesn't exist, but now from your behavior over the past few days, you have just proven to me that there is a "hell", and it is where your heart is right now.

    @greatmustachio
    Actually, do you realize that most black people themselves call each other "niggers"? Everything above was to you as well. Your winking emoticons are really fucking annoying.

    I feel my timing was spot on as well. I got my results posted, had an intelectual discussion with another member, then promptly got the fuck out just as this turned into Aspietropolis.
