They actually are. Every single continental yuro comes prepackaged with that ridiculous sense of entitlement and cannot behave in any way but condescendingly towards Americans, at least until they graduate from high school. Even then, the relative number of decent human beings that spring up as adults is astoundingly low. When you open with "Hows the fourth of July fun? Fucking patriot...", and then I and others point out how that statement is plainly stupid, you can do nothing but pull your "lolamerifatsnopublichealthinsurancelololololol" bullshit and then cry about how money isn't everything. It's the definition of yuro-faggotry. Oh look, you've run out of arguments (not that you had any to begin with), so now it's time to make us look primitive for being such low-minded materialists.
Yep. True words. No, you are actually right. The amount of money spent actually says something about the quality of the holiday. A money burning day would seriously be awesome, because burning money costs a lot.
Also, that little money statistic is effected by the amount of population in the two countries. The US has 311,000,000 people while the Netherlands have 16,000,000 people....We have more people in the New York City metropolitan area than the Netherlands have in their entire country.
And the GDP is effected by the population and the way that population acts. You really can't use money as a legitimate argument on how fun a holiday is.
Population is irrelevant. As a proportion of GDP, we can compare the relative importance of an event in a country. It is an acceptable way to measure how much importance the event has in a country. Fun is relative, but there's no way you could argue that Independence Day is an objectively worse holiday, or that it's wrong to have fun on it, as FeyBart said. And excuse me for being annoyed at some douche trying to act all high-and-mighty by decrying the quintessential national holiday and one of the biggest and most important celebrations in this country. What really pisses me off is the manner in which he responded after I pointed out how stupid his statement was; trying to shoehorn in completely irrelevant garbage just because it's unfathomable for him to acknowledge that America isn't the backwards, inferior hellhole that he wants to portray it as.
The importance of an event does not correlate to how fun it is. And you shouldn't stereotype 738,000,000 people based on the fact you were a trifle annoyed at Bart.
For holidays that are supposed to be fun, I'd say it does correlate pretty strongly. Directly, even. Stereotyping exists to group large amounts of people into inaccurate categories, usually so you can slander them. I think I was using the mechanism entirely appropriately.
No, it doesn't. I don't care how much money you spend. The reason its that costly in the first place probably has a lot to do with the fireworks that are used, I'm surprised it doesn't cost more. Would you say Halloween and Christmas are more fun than the fourth of July? I certainly wouldn't. However, they are more expensive. Yes, at least you admit you were stereotyping. And using slander as a legitimate tool in an argument. How nice. Get your popcorn, get your soda! And watch the amazing Kali slander and stereotype his opponents!
