ToasterWhy do Americans make fun of Canada so much?
I've come to a conclusion that Americans are jealous. We are more peaceful than them, our dollar is worth more than theirs, etc.
Other countries make fun of America = Perfectly fine! Encouraged even!
America makes fun of other countries = HOW DARE YOU! THIS JUST GOES TO PROVE HOW ALL AMERICANS ARE ASSHOLES AND HOW THE ENTIRE COUNTRY IS WORSE THAN NAZI GERMANY!

The terrible truth about america
Americans are fat, and incredibly bigoted. When they aren't eating burgers the size of American cars (which are bigger than other cars) they are coming up with more sweeping generalizations regarding other nations. Quite a bit of which is untrue.
Their ignorance.
Seriously they just sit there and create stereotypes loosely based on that one foreign guy they once met at that one guy's one party. Hey look that Jamaican guy has a pineapple on his shirt. I bet all Jamaican people do this. Let's go tell every one of our findings.
Oscar Wilde once visited America and heard an American say "far", with the horribly over-pronounced "arrrrr" sound at the end like a developmentally disabled pirate. He died. They are that awful at speech.
American English is distinct from English in that it is worse. They pronounce "herbs" as URBS, for no reason. They say "I could care less" rather than "I couldn't care less", thus saying the exact opposite of what they mean. They pronounce caterpillar "Cat-er-pill-ar". There is literally no language in the world more ridiculous than American "English", excluding the languages we did our utmost best to stamp out in the African continent that are composed of clicks and whistles and whatnot.
American sports are invented to prevent Americans from having to compete with other nations. Some of the zany sports that have been invented include "American Football" which is arguably not football but definitely American, resembling rugby played with the armour from Gears of War. "Baseball" is also popular; it is like cricket but more boring and watched exclusively by working class drunks.
Compare and contrast baseball. Baseball wasn't devised with fun in mind, it was invented so that the young country could be best at something.

Toaster, have you actually visited America? It's incredibly insulting that people like me (who don't rag on any other countries) are blatantly included in stupid stuff like that when America has ~300 million citizens.
EDIT: All this stuff about bigotry/racism/gun wielding/etc. is limited to a smaller population than is realistic...like some people have been saying, all countries have their idiots. But just don't forget about the good citizens too.

m4risai feel a lot of this is wrong
-shitty economy
-rapidly declining quality of life
-having a bloated military doesnt actually help
-higher education is WAY too expensive for most people in the u.s.
-alternate sexualities not accepted in the u.s. as well overall as in many other south american and european countries
-you're right about the healthcare, it's inferior to many other more developed countries
-the economy is pretty bad, but it's still better than a lot of countries(poor Greece)
-Please don't complain about our QoL, it's decline generally just means us purchasing less shit we don't need, and eating out less.
-defense budgeting is shit
-to be fair at least it's available to most people in some form or another, a lot of countries simply don't give their average students a chance at higher education.
honestly the education thing is something i sort of agree with you on. I think we should adopt stricter entrance requirements(like top 20 or 25%) and also have less jobs that require degrees. A good example would be underwriters at blue cross blue shield, which usually requires some degree in like finance, accounting etc.. when really someone who is semi intelligent could probably pick it up with a high school degree and a few weeks of training course. But for whatever reason would never be given a shot simply because they do not have a degree.

You guys need to remember that toaster is like 12 years old. His opinion on anything has pretty much 0 merit in any context. Kids like toaster are the reason the phrase "Children are meant to be seen and not heard" exists. Though, I'd honestly rather not have to see Toaster around here either.

MaxHaxI strongly disagree that one of your arguments is basically, America isn't great because we don't love soccer like other people do.
Actually, there was no argument on that. I said that we are sometimes considered a "frankenstein" of a country, and our lack of total involvement in soccer (in terms of American popularity) may contribute to that. Read again.

Your whole post defies itself. You seemingly "pick apart" our country, and blame us for making generalizations, which is exactly what you are doing. Also, how can you say not all Americans are bad, when you obviously wrote this post to portray us as so? You are essentially defeating your own argument by "apologizing".
You are also very racist, saying we need to "stamp out" the clicks and other speaking patterns from African countries.
You only wrote "not all Americans are bad" because you fear that some of your "friends" are from the U.S. and don't want them furious at you. Your ignorance shines like a beacon.

Wow, he even copy pasted exact phrases from cracked.
Also, I would like to say that it's not exactly American's fault that they don't generally like soccer. Most kids will play soccer at a young age, myself included, and I just consider it a very slow sport. Playing it isn't as bad, since you are actively involved, but I could never watch it. Then again, I played around 15 years of baseball and I still can barely stand watching it.
I think it's completely an opinion on the best sports. But I want the rest of the world to think about this; is the reason that you like Soccer (Footbul) because it's not only been popularized and televised since a young age? Since American football is so young, maybe because it's never really played/showed in other countries makes it so trivial?
