ALl you've shown is that YOU DONT UNDERSTAND OUR BEHAVIOUR. I'm all for equality between nations and people, you took my statement out of context and then attempt to USE it as an example of BAD AMERICAN BEHAVIOUR Well, in that case?? Allow me to give you some..:finger :finger :finger I'm glad that not all citizens of all other countries are as BLIND, CONDESCENDING, IGNORANT, AND AGENDA PUSHING AS YOU:good You push a misunderstood opinion as factual indication of you're own bias, CALSSIC!!!!!!!!!
I live in the USA, I know hundreds of Americans and he does make some good points. Perhaps if u stopped defending and started listening a little more u might understand what is being typed to you. As I said in a previous post to you, just because you want it to be so doesn't make it so. I stopped responding to you because you were not making any sense. Now I am just adding some weight to the other posters comments as he was being called unqualified to make such opinions based on limited experience (not sure how that could honestly be asserted from your vantage point). Mine is not limted.
No, its because we act differently than you. It is not arrogance often, just our way of relating to each other and the way things work over here. Do you realize how different foreigners act in our country? Often bringing their own views and beliefs here when they visit or stay? It is easy to pick on the US because we are big target. That's a simple fact of this world at this particular time. Yes....I am saying you should not have an opinion of American people. You should have opinions of the people you have met or encountered. If they happen to be American...ok then. But their being American is only going to tell you so much about them, especially if you don't know much about American culture. I often meet people from Europe who visit here who are totally suprised at our casualness and the way we address each other....often to the degree that they come off arrogant, at least by our standards. There is a cultural difference.
Thanks to Gen Butler for not allowing Prescott Bush, & Pals to create a coup back in 1933-34! However, Bush, the ******ed idiot, is trying to create another coup in 2007! v
I find you DELSUIONAL and intent on convincing Americans that they're behaviour is BAD because IDIOTS LIKE YOU find it offensive. You dont understand it, misconstrue it, and then try to use it as proof of you're opinion. Absolutely PATHETIC!!! Again, I'm glad that not all international people are so quick and narrow minded in judgement. Is American culture diffrent from what you know?? OBVIOUSLY IT IS!!!!! To insist upon you're righteousness in the face of you're OWN IGNORANCE??? PRICELESS!!!!! Its truly, truly, undignified and ignorant behaviour. I say, I dont give a **** if you like the NFL, and I'm suddenly??? I'm the BIG BAD, RED, WHITE, AND BLUE MONSTER??:rofl :rofl :rofl You might instead appreciate that in American culture we feel that you have the right to enjoy what you wish and the freedom to express it ,in whatever manner you feel appropriate. Now you have done so, but in turn, have shown yourself to be a narrow minded MORON, intent on proving this MYTHICAL and MISGUIDED point of yours. Now, I wont say that every American is great, we're loaded with ASSHOLES just as you're country and every other is. However, my remarks werent indicative of that behaviour, even though THAT's HOW YOU TOOK IT!!!! The continued fact that you refuse to understand that?? Simply makes you the equivalent of those that you wish to DENIGRATE:good
Ive seen post like that. You happen to support a US fighter over a non US fighter and you labeled as just picking the fighter simply based on his nation. Which is utter bull****. I think Floyd beats Hatton because he is better. And I am a fan of both of them. I had an argument with some guy who called "The US" a bunch of ***s or something like that for a similiar reason.
:huh :huh You come out of nowhere with you're BS??? I didnt defend ALL Americans!!! We have our share of idiots and it seems to me YOU"RE INCLUDED!!!!!! He attacked my statements, which he took out of context, and misconstrued to serve his own narrow minded purpose. SO, **** YOU!!! Theres no possible misconception there!!! You wanna jump in and defend BS because you find my opinion's opposite of you're own?? Yet, you have no basis or legitimacy in being involved in this debate, other than to score you're own agenda, which includes dislike of me I got an IDEA, keep NOT RESPONDING TO ME!!! Or?? At least have something rational, intelligent, and reasonable to add other than you're dislike of ME:good I find it hilarious that you start off "I stopped responding to you" WHERE MUTH$%^&A?? You werent even in this conversation.:rofl IF you're referring to another thread where you told me I should read more and learn to appreciate Castro??? Maybe you should REVIEW THAT THREAD:yep :yep :yep BTW??? Your mindset IS EXTREMELY LIMITED!!! From whats apparent?? You're the graveling, ass kissing, whatever you international fellows say, type *******:hi:
Goddamn KG, We've obviously had our differences, but if there's a positive here in this thread??? I've gained much more respect for you as a poster and rational human being. Honestly?? I never anticipated such feelings. Yet, the objectiveness of you're opinion is really ILLUSTRATED BY THOSE DIFFERENCES :good If there was a BOWINg emoticon?? INSERT IT HERE!! Even though, thats a rather Asian form of RESPECT.:happy :happy
Hey, we had our differences on one subject, but honestly, reading the majority of your other posts, I tend to agree with you a majority of the time believe it or not. Keep opening peoples eyes to the whole picture, not just the picture they want to see or have had the opportunity to see. There is always more to learn right? Much respect....
DAMN!!! This thread was worth it after all!!!!:yep I tend to hold grudges, but you've made that QUITE DIFFICULT in this case:scaredas: Yes, NUFF RESPECT DUE !!!!!!:good
Lately I have been quite dismissive of America simply because Im sick of reading that EVERYTHING boxing HAS to gravitate to the states............Brit fighters are no good until they have beat americans in america etc...etc.......The shite aimed at Calzaghe & Hatton on here sometimes , mainly by U.S. posters is ****ing ridiculous...........& in JC's case who in Gods name at his weight is there worth fighting in the US..........???????........Another thing is that British boxing in my opinion is a far greater crowd puller & all round event than fights in the US..........Come on...the Boxing "Mecca" of the US attracts how many again to the superfights.......??????????.............The cold hard reality of it is that sadly America means $$$$$ & alot of the soul has gone out of American Boxing in my opinion......I have watched alot of big U.S. fights lately & has come across as passionless............Then you get some berk on here posting how PBF v DLH is a far bigger "event" than anything Hatton can bring....??????......Its laughable............Dont take this the wrong way the US has some excellent fighters & some very knowledgeable posters on this site but I really do feel that on a whole US boxing needs to recapture its glory days..........When I was a kid it seemed like there was a superfight every ****ing week from the states , Hagler & Hearns to name a few generating real excitment.............something that is lacking in Americas boxing imagination today........
If there's something lacking?? It's been in Boxing as a whole!!! Not just in the US:good I'm rooting for Calzaghe and Hatton in their upcoming fights and I'm AMERICAN!! There's assholes on every continent and it seems that 2007 is reversing the negativity that has existed recently. As, we are starting to see the best fight the best!!! Hopefully?? that resurgence continues forward. Its not just the US, its Boxing that needs to recapture its glory and i believe it's starting to do just that:happy Every fighter and nationality is required for partcipation:yep
Fair points C but dont you think that the British boxing public shows far more passion & turns out in greater shows of support than their american counterparts...........???............Boxing over here is still very well supported even at grass roots level............Why dont the american stars get the passionate support the way british & say puerta rican fighters do.......?????
Yes Britian was a major player in www2 so was the States but it clearly was the Red Army that broke the Germans. Case in point was the battle of El Alamein a tremendous and costly victory for the hard pressed British that was fought at the same time as Stalingrad. While I would never down play the sacrifices paid by the brave soldiers of Montgomery's 8th army it was in fact a minor skirmish in compared to the Red Army effort at Stalingrad. Chuikov the Red Army commander lost 478,741 dead and 650,878 wounded. Over 40,000 Russian civilians were killed. Nazis and their allies lost over 850,000. Major Russian victory which the murderous Nazis were never able to recover from. Kirsk, the largest tank battle in history the battle that insured the allies would win the war. Again the Red Army paid the price for victory with losses that were staggering by western standards. Then we get to Berlin or should I say the Red Army got to Berlin. More brutal losses for our Russian allies but the spike was driven through the beasts heart and it beat no more. The laurels of victory belong to the Red Army to deny that is to deny history.
